Toddler Beds

How to choose a toddler bed

• Pick the right moment: most children move from the cot to a bed between 2 and 3½ years, sometimes as early as 18 months. Climbing out of the cot is a clear sign it is time.
• Low, or with a rail: a low bed or a guard rail helps if your child rolls out at night. Our police and race car beds are low, at 41 and 48 cm, and the fire truck bed has a guard rail.
• A mattress that fits: use a 70x140 mattress that fills the frame, so there are no gaps a child's arm or leg can slip into.
• Think about what comes next: a 70x140 bed suits a child up to about 120 cm tall. The house and tipi also come in 90x200, so your child can keep the same shape later.

Common mistakes when choosing a toddler bed

• Keeping a climber in the cot: once your toddler can climb out of the cot, move them to a bed. Climbing over the rail can end in a bad fall.
• Forgetting the rest of the room: a child who can leave the bed can also reach everything else. Fix wardrobes and dressers to the wall with anti-tip fittings.
• Forgetting the mattress: our toddler beds include a slatted base or a solid bed base, but not a 70x140 mattress. The Childhome tipi frame is the exception: it has no base.

Dimensions and materials

• Mattress: 70x140 on every toddler bed.
• Length: about 146 to 175 cm.
• Width: about 75 to 85 cm.
• Height: 41 to 61 cm for the vehicle beds, about 130 cm for the house and tipi.

• Included: a slatted base or a solid bed base, except on the Childhome tipi, which is a frame only. The mattress is sold separately.

Caring for your toddler bed

Wipe the frame with a cloth and a little mild detergent, then dry it. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Our range of toddler beds

• Vehicle beds: a fire truck, a race car and a police car.
• House and tipi beds: the house bed in white or natural, and the tipi bed.
• Frame only: the wooden tipi frame, without a base or tent cover.

Goes well with

• The next bed: the house and the tipi also come as 90x200 kids' beds, so your child can keep the same shape.
• Dressers: a low dresser keeps small clothes in the same room.
