Selecting Beds for Infants, Toddlers, and Beyond

Posted under bedroom furniture, home remodeling, kids beds

There would come a time in your babies’ development when it is appropriate to set aside their cribs. Some parents take too long to do this and it can embarrass and even endanger their children. Of course, we can’t totally blame these parents because sometimes it’s really hard to determine when is the most appropriate time to make the switch from a crib to a toddler bed. The typical age range to make such transformation is between 18 months to two years of age.

A toddler bed is essentially larger than a baby crib but a bit shorter than a twin bed. It is engineered to support tots who are beginning to explore their inquisitive nature and cannot be further supported by cribs. You must understand that the switch from a crib to a toddler cot can be stressing for some children. As such, in order for the transition to be smooth for both of you, allow your child to pick his or her preferred toddler cot design.

Toddler cots are available in an assortment of designs and finishes. Most of them are crafted to complement the fun and playful minds of toddlers. Racecar beds, which are shaped to look like regular racing cars are very popular among boys. The kids captains beds, on the other hand, are made to resemble real captain’s beds found in ships and ideal for active children. You can also let your child select from other playful bed design themes such as playgrounds, miniature houses, forts and castles among others.

If your child is not comfortable with the idea of switching into a toddler cot, rather than forcing him or her to like the transition, try using convertible cribs. Convertible baby cribs as their name suggests can be converted either as a toddler bed or a twin bed. These kids bed option is preferable for parents who are worried about constantly spending cash on purchasing new beds for their kids. Because this type of bed grows with your tot, you won’t have to purchase a new cot for quite sometime.

The market is profuse with a wide variety of convertible cribs. The most popular designs are those made from solid wood as most parents love the feel of wood furniture over other styles. You can also find cribs constructed from durable plastic materials. If you would like to save space and have some extra storage, try purchasing baby cribs that have drawers underneath, which in turn can be used to store your kids’ clothes.

When in the market for a crib or toddler bed, always consider the safety of your kid. Pick a bed that is sturdy but void of rough angles and make sure that its headboard and footboard doesn’t have a scroll-work that can trap the hands, head and feet of your kid. The unit also should have adjustable mattress support so that the mattress can be lowered as the child grows. Check on the screws, nuts and bolts of the bed and make sure that they are properly covered with rubber to avoid scratches and the bed should be painted with high quality enamel. By painstakingly selecting the bed of your kid, not only are you guaranteeing him or her a good sleep, you are also giving him or her the opportunity to have a healthy and happy early childhood.

Choose the perfect toddler bed for your growing child by customizing it according to his or her needs. Racecar beds works well for growing boys, while kids captains beds are great for active children. Convertible cribs are also ideal options because they are cost-efficient and multifunctional beds that can be converted into toddler or twin beds. By properly choosing the bed of your kid, you are ensuring a healthy and happy childhood for you tot.
