When O moves in to the guest room, the bed in there just has a white down comforter and plain sheets. DH wanted to get him baseball or sports bedding and decorate the room in that theme, but I kind of want to keep it simple so it can grow with him. I love the stripes and plaids on PBK and Land of Nod, but found this quilt on Walmart.com (for much less ):

Now here is my dumb question. How warm is a quilt? I mean, is that something that could be used in the summer/warmer months and then on top of the comforter in the winter? Or would we be better off getting a duvet for the comforter? I just think white comforter + toddler = disaster.
Re: A really, really stupid bedding question
I grew up with just a quilt or light coverlet on my bed. I didn't have a comforter until college. I always found them perfectly cozy, though I've always been kind of hot natured. In the winter, I'd just put a thermal blanket underneath for more warmth.
I agree with akspriss that I'd personally not want to deal with a down comforter (especially if it's not machine washable), with a toddler. Like she said, with PTing, you'll be washing covers often due to accidents. Plus, I'd hate to have to deal with trying to keep one clean and white, or dealing with a duvet cover every time I needed to wash it.
