Toddler Bed; What do you have?

VeilSdeGTO

As much as I hate this, it's time to move DD#1 into one. DD#2 is outgrowing the AR Co-Sleeper much faster than anticipated so we are making the move to the crib sometime this summer.

Any recommendations or suggestions?

I'm looking at toddler beds, too. I've been looking at this one from IKEA https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39836495/#/S59851606

The only issue I see with it, is I'm having trouble finding fitted sheets big enough for it at any where other than IKEA. It fits a mattress 63x27.5 which is bigger than a crib mattress. I think I'm going to end up just make my own fitted sheets.

I'm actually going to transition DS1 from his (crib converted) toddler bed to a twin bed this fall with rails.

I'm not sure if I'd buy a separate toddler bed because they won't use it long. I've actually been looking at Land of Nod for inspiration but finding the knock offs on IKEA and Walmart's websites.

We have this one: https://m.target.com/p/davinci-elizabeth-ii-convertible-toddler-bed-cherry/-/A-10191522?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=10191522&CPNG=Kids&kpid=10191522&LID=12pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=10191522&gclid=CIHvh6SC374CFa1cMgodzgIAFQ

Love it. DS loves it, and therefore I love it. The rail is nice as it covers about half the length of the bed. I feel like he's pretty secure in there. Can't beat the price either. Oh and easy to put together!! Win!

We just have a twin mattress on the floor with rails for DD #1. When we did the transition, we started by just reading books in the twin and then she would sleep in the crib. One night she didn't want to go back to her crib so the next night she slept in the twin after we were able to redecorate her room and make a big deal of it.
