Toddlers are the most active creatures in the planet. Kids this age learn many new things from walking to talking to toilet training. They play, sing, dance, talk and do many other things and do not seem to get tired of anything. It is also at this time that kids develop sleeping patterns and habits that in most cases harass the parents at night. Thus, it is essential that parents wisely choose the type of toddler beds they buy in order to make the child more enthusiastic and happy about sleeping and comfortable when he/she is asleep.
Toddler beds are small beds designed for toddlers and are used as transition beds. These are perfect for children who have already outgrown their cribs but haven't graduated to a full sized bed yet. These usually have low side rails, which are removable, on each side to prevent accidental rolling out of the bed while asleep. It is also low to the ground to facilitate safe and easy entry and exit for the occupant.
Different types of toddler beds are available in the market that parents can choose from depending on the child's preference and personality. They can also be made from different types of materials from steel to plastic and to wood, all of which have different designs and shapes. One of the most popular types of these beds is the convertible crib. This is designed to save money as it can support your little one infancy to even beyond his late toddler year, thus, eliminating the need to buy another bed once the baby turned into a toddler. In addition, a convertible crib helps your toddler transition a lot easier. You only have to make a few adjustments, like removing the crib's front panel, so your toddler will not notice any drastic changes in his bed.
Futon toddler beds, on the other hand, are a Japanese style kids' bed that are set up directly flat on the floor and hence, not supported by frames. Being setup on the floor, these beds display no risk for the occupant to fall or hurt himself while sleeping. These beds are also foldable and can be used as a sitting area during daytime. Loft and storage toddler beds, alternatively, are types of bed that can be partitioned to accommodate a desk, shelf, and a mini play area. Drawers under the bed frame, a toy chest in the foot board, or a bookshelf in the head are also often built-in on storage toddler beds. Lastly, twin size toddler beds are those designed to make toddlers feel that they are grown ups as these beds are full sized kids' bed.
Choosing a toddler bed can be a nit difficult with all the different types available to choose from. One of the first things to be considered when buying is the safety of the bed. Make sure to look for bed rails that are certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). Most toddler beds are designed to be low to the ground so that your child can easily get in and out of bed, but the heights do vary. The best toddler bed for your child needs to be low to the ground and always needs to be safe. Finally, if you are planning to pass down the bed to your next kid, consider buying a more gender neutral designed bed. A white or brownish color wooden bed is a great choice as you will be able to fit it in a girl's or boy's room with little problem.
Switching to toddler beds is a significant step in the child's development. It is an expense that can make your toddlers life extra special.
