Toddler Beds

The easiest way to buy a toddler bed is online, as most junior bedsteads conform to three simple concepts in which they differ from the basic single bed:

• Lower to the floor, to assure toddlers that they're not going to fall out and hurt themsleves
• safety rails or raised sides to ensure your child feels safe and secure
• smaller than an average single bed

Choosing a toddler’s bed doesn’t need to be a nightmare, you can make your child’s dreams come true by picking a bed that suits their growing personality.

As with most children’s beds, under-bed storage is an option and well worth looking in to if space is limited in the room. Some beds come with drawers available as an additional extra or even built in to the design of the bed, perfect for storing clothes, spare bed linen or toys.

When the time comes for your child to move from a cot to a bed the choices available can be a little overwhelming. Gone are the days of a stark bed with metal safety bars, today’s offerings come in all shapes and colours. The only consistent thing among them is the size; smaller than a standard single bed these are the perfect size to transition your child from their cot to their first bed.

It’s worth checking over the sturdiness of the design when looking for a new bed for your toddler, after all they’ll be jumping on it at some point, probably every single day. Ensure it’s made to be wiped clean, has curved edges and that all screws and any sharp edges are not accessible to your child. Most toddlers’ beds are made from a steel frame with plastic covering or pine and MDF, all of which are easy to clean and maintain. If storage is an issue in your child’s room then under-bed storage might be an option for you, check that the space under the bed is suitable for drawers, often available as a separate add-on.

Other terms used for toddler beds include junior, starter and first beds.
