Transitioning your toddler from a cot to their first bed is an important milestone, and timing it right can make the process smoother and more enjoyable for everyone. Typically, it's a good idea to consider this move when your child is between 18 months and 3 years old. Signs that your toddler might be ready include consistently attempting to climb out of the cot, showing an interest in sleeping in a "big kid" bed, or outgrowing their current sleeping space.

Another ideal time for this transition is during significant changes in your child's life, such as potty training or the arrival of a new sibling. Making the switch before the baby arrives can help your toddler feel more secure and less displaced.

Choosing a low-to-the-ground toddler bed can ease the transition by providing a safe, accessible, and comfortable new sleep environment. This change supports their growing independence and helps foster a sense of accomplishment, ensuring your child enjoys a restful night's sleep in their very own bed.

Most children typically outgrow their toddler bed by age 5, but there is no specific age that applies to everyone. Whether your child is ready for a more grown-up bed depends on various factors beyond just age.

Firstly, consider the height and weight limits of the toddler bed. It’s important for your child to be comfortable, and outgrowing the length of the bed can be an issue, though most toddler beds accommodate height reasonably well. However, toddler mattresses are usually quite narrow, which is often outgrown first.

Weight is another critical factor. Toddler beds are not designed to support the weight of older children. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, most toddler beds are built to support up to 50 pounds or 22 kilos.

Assessing these factors will help determine if your child is ready to transition to a larger bed, ensuring comfort and safety.

Our Toddler Beds are thoughtfully crafted to be lower to the ground, making it easy for your little ones to climb in and out without assistance.

This design not only fosters independence but also ensures safety, minimising the risk of falls. Toddler floor beds are an excellent and safe choice for your child's first 'proper' bed, providing a smooth transition from a crib to a bed.

The low height allows for easy access, promoting confidence and self-reliance in your child as they navigate their new sleeping environment. Additionally, the design supports a nurturing and comforting atmosphere, encouraging restful sleep and sweet dreams.
