Many parents tend to think that toddler beds are pretty straight forward furniture and comparatively cheap. After all, no one in their right mind would spend 100's of dollars on a bed that will potentially last 3 to three years.
Nevertheless, you can aquire a number of toddler beds available in the market today. If you are searching for one, here are a few types of beds for you to consider.
Simple
These toddler beds are of straightforward designs with wooden, steel and/or plastic frames. Although this type of beds normally has no fancy carvings, some may consist of pictures of popular cartoon characters to attract kids of this age bracket.
For those who have a younger child and plan to pass the bed down, a simple unisex design is always a good option. Not just it can be used by both sexes, you don't have to worry about your younger child not liking the characters on the bed frames. You need to be aware that what your older child prefers might not necessarily be what your younger one may end up liking.
Theme
Theme-based toddler beds are always popular with young kids. From fire truck to carriage shaped beds, you're certain to manage to find one which appeals to your child.
However, keep your eyes peeled on theme beds is the child may end up playing more than resting on this type of bed. For instance, when you get your son or daughter your child bed in the shape of Thomas The Tank Engine, you may have difficulty convincing him to rest, especially on those first few nights. It doesn't take much to excite a toddler and that we are all aware kids' imagination tend to go wild without much prompting.
Therefore, there is always that risk having a theme toddler bed. Similarly, it can encourage your young child to sleep onto it but alternatively, you would need to assess if it would cause an excessive amount of trouble getting her or him to rest instead of experience this type of bed.
Convertible
Much like baby cribs, toddler beds too have convertible models which make them more economical over time. You have to spend more how to get one however it helps you save the money and need for shopping for another bed two or three years in the future. Some are convertible to a daybed while others can become a twin bed when your child has outgrown the toddler-sized one.
The unfortunate thing about convertible toddler beds may be the lack of models. After all, if parents wanted convertible baby furniture, they would have started with the crib that can convert completely into a full-sized bed. With this insufficient demand, it is common that there is only a narrow range of models available for sale.
Others
Other toddler beds of great interest include individuals with canopies that provide them a princess look and modern with contemporary platform designs. And when you really can afford it, there's always the luxurious toddler bed costing on the thousand dollars fit for royalty using its extravagant designs.
Whichever kind of toddler bed, it is certainly tempting to purchase one. But one last word of advice is don't buy a toddler bed the way it is small and cute. The cuteness will fade away after a while. It might be wiser to think about if your little one can skip the toddler bed stage and move to a full-sized bed instead. Some kids can while some can't. Therefore, assess your child's readiness first before picking out the type of bed to buy.
