[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What bed would you recommend for a toddler or first bed ?[/quote]

Honestly, don't overthink it. We moved our toddler from her crib into a regular full size bed that we pushed against the wall, and then got an inexpensive toddler bumper for the other side until we felt confident she wouldn't fall out. I should note it's a relatively low bed, and we don't use a box spring with it (so maybe two feet off the ground). We already had the bed in her room (used to be the guest bed), so it was just easy.

But I've also known people who just got a twin size mattress and put it on the floor, and then bought a twin bed when the kid was ready. You can get these really cute little house frames for a floor bed too (look up "montessori bed house frame" and you'll find a ton). Or you can buy a toddler bed. That last option was the least appealing to me because they will only be in it a few years, after only being in the crib a few years, and I don't like having to rotate furniture out that often. That's why so many people get cribs that you can convert to toddler beds, because then you can get a lot more use out of it.[/quote]
