The Perfect Choice for a Toddler Bed

When it is time for your baby to move from crib to toddler bed, there are several features that you should look at to make sure that you have the very best. First and foremost, the choice has to be a safe one. Secondly, it should be a good value because even though they are only toddlers for what feels like a very short time, your child can stay in his little toddler bed for quite a few years.

The first thing you should consider is the size of the bed: both the size of the mattress and its overall height. The bed should be low enough that your child can get on and off of it safely. The low height will also protect the baby from falls in the night especially if he is either a restless sleeper or a wanderer. The mattress should be long enough to give the child a few years of growth- but there are some families where kids are notoriously fast growing or exceptionally tall, which may make the toddler bed too short, too quickly.

Next, you should consider the type of material of the bed you are buying. Steer clear of the trendy plastic or shaped beds as they tend to be the only thing the child wants for a few weeks and then children are over it. A sturdy, wooden bed frame is a far better choice because it can just transition with the room.

Having a toddler bed can be simpler than trying to get the child comfortable in a twin size bed. Going directly from the crib to a twin bed can be very traumatic, especially for a child who is very active. When you choose to make this transition, it might help to decide if the child is happy or not. If you tell your little one that he is going to be sleeping in a “big boy” bed one day and even have him help to pick one out, that is one thing. But, if you wait until a new baby is about to be born or worse, when you are bringing this child home from the hospital to spring the news on your first born that he is about to lose his crib, that can be very traumatic.

In most cases, you can use the mattress from the crib as well as the crib sheets for the new bed, however, in keeping with the bigger boy or girl theme, have your child help you pick some new sheets or a new comforter out for the toddler bed.
