Moving Baby From Crib to Bed

What kind of big kid bed is best?


There are a number of options for a child's first bed:


    

  • Toddler bed: These are small, low and child-sized. They have guard rails on all sides, and come in playful designs.
    • 

  • Regular bed: A common choice is a mattress, box spring and bed frame (with all sides protected from fall-outs).  
    • 

  • Mattress on the floor: A popular choice is a mattress or futon on the floor. This provides your little one with a big-kid bed, while helping prevent painful falls. 
    • 

  • Bunk bed: Hold off on buying a bunk bed until your child is six years old, which is when the top bunk is considered safe.
