Toddler beds.

My son is a climber. He will climb out of his crib so fast it's not even funny. Lol. He is 19 months old & I wanna get him a toddler bed so I don't have to worry about any falls or accidents. What kind of things should I look for when purchasing a toddler bed? I want to get the best one I can find - that will last & be a good stable bed. Any recommendations? Preferably something with cherry wood finish. Lol. But I gotta make sure I have the best for my little man.

Toddler beds are a waste of money. He will outgrow it within a year or two. Just get a twin bed.

This! My daughter never had a toddler bed. They have rails for regular beds do they don't fall out. My daughter did fine with it but some kids need it.

This! It's what we did

I was thinking of getting one of those convertible cribs that switch from a toddler bed, to a day bed, to a full size bed. I can't make up my mind.

I spent $1400 on 2 stage beds and $800 on 4 pillow top mattresses to go with it. I was kinda disappointed when I had to buy DD a toddler bed. DS is a few months shy of 3 and still falls off his bed. DD is 15 months, so I cant chance her falling out just yet, so we settled for a toddler bed.

Just look for one with a rail on the side, but they all meet safety requirements unless recalled for some reason.

We have one of those. My son's crib is converted into a full sized bed now. I just had to go out and buy a bed frame and of course a mattress.

I was going to buy rails, but with the stage beds, they dont work.

Stupid question lol but what is a stage bed?

Yeah those kind of cribs seem like your saving money since they convert to what you need. & the one I was looking at is $130. A regular toddler daybed (well, the one a was looking at, it's a modernized one) is like $100. I want a sleigh style cherry wood bed for him.

This is my girls bed. The bottom one belongs to DD (15 months). It rolls out, but a rail wont fit on that one side and still allow me to push it in during the day so they have room to play.

This is the one my son has (not my pic)

That is cute! It kinds had a trundle bed in other words but its a regular bed. A lot of day beds have trundle beds that roll out but that one is just pretty!

I really like that. The one i'm looking at comes with bed rails. I wanted some different opinions cause my mother thinks I should just buy him a toddler bed. Lol, but I really think the convertible cribs are the way to go. It may be more expensive now but will save me money later cause I won't have to buy him a full size bed once he grows out of the toddler bed stage.
