Many new things from walking to talking to toilet training are learned by children during their toddler years. It is also during this age-which is between one and three-when little children are observed to be most active that they do not seem to get tired of anything. Also, children develop sleeping patterns during their toddler years. As such, it is important that parents carefully choose the toddler bed that would best help the development of their child's sleeping patterns.
As babies grow older and bigger, they also outgrow their little stuffs such as their cribs. Instead, they sleep on toddler beds which are small beds designed for toddlers who are not yet capable of sleeping on full sized beds. These beds are often setup low to the ground to allow a safe entry and exit to the bed. Just like cribs, these beds still feature low side rails-which are removable-to prevent accidental fall while sleeping.
In today's increasing child population, manufacturers have filled the market with a multitude of types of toddler beds for parents to choose from. These beds often are made from a variety of materials and are designed for various children's personality. Among the popular types of these beds available in the market today are convertible cribs, futon toddler beds, loft toddler beds, storage toddler beds and twin size toddler beds. Convertible cribs are those beds that can be used by children from their infancy to their toddler years-and sometimes beyond. These beds feature removable front panels and side rails that can be removed during the occupant's toddler years.
Another type of toddler beds is the futon toddler bed. This is a Japanese style bed which is not supported by frames. It is foldable and can be used as a toddlers sitting area in the day time. It is also set up directly flat on the floor which displays no risk for your toddler to fall or hurt himself while sleeping. The thirds and fourth types are the loft and storage toddler bed. Both these types of bed are popular among parents and kids alike as they are great space savers. Both types can be partitioned to accommodate a desk, shelf and a mini play area with the latter having built-in storage compartments everywhere - drawers under the bed frame, a toy chest in the foot board or a bookshelf in the head board. Finally, there is the twin size toddler bed which is a full sized kid's bed that is perfect for your toddler if he likes playing grown up. The size of the bed makes your toddler feel that he is a grown-up.
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.
