Question:

Toddler bed or twin bed?

Which is better to graduate from a crib.... Toddler bed or twin bed (with railings of course)? And how do you know when a toddler is ready to graduate from the crib? I'm getting ready for a new baby so I'm pondering this stuff early.

Answer:

Skip the toddler bed, by the time they're too big for a crib, the toddler bed wont get them very far. Might as well save your money and just get the twin bed when its time. The time to move them out of the crib totally depends on the kid. My oldest was in his crib until he was almost 3 (and he was a big boy!) but he never disliked it. Our youngest had to move out of his crib when he was 22 months because he figured out how to crawl out of it. If you want to move your toddler out before your next baby is born, go ahead and move him, at least a month before hand so he has time to get used to it. And get a door handle cover so he can't get out and roam the house! (trust me!)
You know they just get tall for the crib, well you'll know when they've out grown the crib you'll see. I think a toddler bed would be good. Congrats!! boy or girl?
in case you ought to use the mattress to the crib, then you could besides flow to a twin mattress. the income of the toddler mattress is that this is close to to the floor and you will use the crib mattress, saving you funds. in case you will purchase a twin mattress this is rather helpful to evaluate procuring a marvelous bunk mattress. I did this for my son while he grew to become into 2 years previous. this is closer to the floor and has a board below it so which you don't choose a field spring, only the mattress. the different super element approximately his is it is grew to become into made up of two by utilizing fours and grew to become into very stable. he's now sixteen and moved as much as a double mattress final year, so we've been given our moneys well worth out of the mattress. in case you extremely need to maintain funds, purchase a toddler mattress and use an analogous mattress from the crib and later purchase and new crib mattresses for the hot toddler.
Buy your toddler a twin bed, for the first week or so, put the mattress only on the floor. That way if they make their way to the side of the bed they won't fall very far. As they get comfortable with their new boundaries then add the box springs and then the frame.We did this with our daughters when they graduated from the crib to their very own specially for them big girl or boy bed. To know when they are ready for a bed is when they start climbing out the their crib. Good luck!
It all depends on the child. My oldest daughter slept by herself at 2 in a toddler bed while my middle girl will not sleep by herself. Ask him which he prefers. Good luck!
