Toddler Beds
If it's time to move your baby into a “big girl's bed” but she's
hardly a “big girl,” a toddler bed is the way to go. These pint-size
beds are perfect for small children. They're a great transitional bed between
the crib and a twin
or full-sized bed. Toddler beds are designed to sit close to the floor so it's
easy for short legs to climb in and out of them. Many toddler beds come equipped
with built-in side rails for added safety.
Styles
Imagine any style bed, from an elegant metal one with a tall headboard and decorative spindles, to a traditional sleigh bed and chances are there is a mini-version. Toddler beds are available in a variety of styles and finishes. Most are manufactured of metal, wood or plastic. Many beds feature favorite cartoon or storybook characters to reflect your child's interests.
Features
Although most toddler beds are basically the same, there are some important features to look for and consider before buying one. Does the bed have built-in side rails? Many beds do offer this safety feature, while others require an additional side rail purchase. Look for beds that are certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association. The JPMA evaluates children's products for safety.
Does the bed come with coordinating bedroom furniture? An entire matching bedroom
ensemble takes the guesswork out of decorating. Shelves, toy
boxes and chests are great storage solutions.
It's also important to consider a bed's material. Beds made of plastic are sturdy and easy to clean up. Many metal toddler beds are heirloom quality and make a nice childhood keepsake. Many wooden beds are available in an unfinished state making it easy to stain or paint them to match any décor.
Don't let your little one grow up too fast. A toddler bed is the perfect way of keeping her small while also instilling in her plenty of “big girl” confidence.
