Toddler bed?

hungryhippohungryhippo member
in Parenting after a Loss

Hi, I'm popping over from PGAL. We are looking at cribs these days and we already have a great twin/trundle set in the room that we'll use for the nursery. I know that some cribs can be converted into toddler beds.

My question is whether every baby will eventually need a toddler bed? Or can they just go from crib to (close-to-the-floor) trundle to twin? I have no idea what's considered safe or best practice. 

If you have a toddler or older child - what did you do?

    We have a convertible crib and DS is currently in the "toddler bed" portion of it. I don't really think it matters either way, to be honest. Part of me wishes we had just done the twin bed thing.

    We moved DS1 from his crib to a twin mattress on the floor when he started climbing out of his crib. It worked for us not to buy a separate toddler bed. Although My I got my mom a toddler bed at a consignment store for about 30 that he sleeps in when he s

    We have a 3 in 1 crib for M right now. DH & I had a conversation just the other night, we think it's time to get him into a twin bed (we are going to need the crib for v2).

    So, it won't be used as a toddler bed or a twin headboard type bed

    DD1 is being transitioned to a toddler bed in a couple weeks since DD2 will be arriving in a few months.  We probably would have gone to a twin size bed on the floor but my sister bought her the toddler bed.  It only goes up to 50lbs and holds a

    Dd climbed out of the crib at 18 months so we went with a toddler bed. She loves it! She went to sleep much easier in it too.
