I am thinking about driving to PA to visit Sylvan Yorkies family

I am getting a pup in June, and try to visit before that. Anyway... my question is "which one should I bring? A blanket or a dog bed? So other dogs and pups can use it and when I get a pup, I can bring back this blanket or a dog bed with the pup."
I want to make it as comfortable as possible for the pup. I bet it probably doesn't matter which one, but just the thought. Maybe a blanket is better so that I could put in the crate.... what do you think?
Blanket... baby blanket is good?
p.s. it would be fun to drive 6-7 hrs... I just got a license this month..

but I am practicing a lot ..
