There's also a rail you can get separately to keep them from rolling out in their sleep, it's called Vikram or something like that. We have the Gulliver crib and plan to convert it, add the rail, and use that for awhile longer before getting a whole new bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-toddler-bed-if-so-which-one#post-2435435 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 19:22:30 +0000 hilsy85 2435435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pikolini one and it's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-toddler-bed-if-so-which-one#post-2435429 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 19:14:25 +0000 regberadaisy 2435429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have to buy one and space isn't a concern I would just go right to a twin or full. Check CL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-toddler-bed-if-so-which-one#post-2435424 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 19:09:22 +0000 ShootingStar 2435424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just skip the toddler bed and go to whatever size you want to use long term. We took the side of the crib off for like a month and there didn't seem to be much point so we converted it to a full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-toddler-bed-if-so-which-one#post-2435392 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 18:23:18 +0000 Smurfette 2435392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just took the front of her crib off. We thought we bought the conversion kit and didn't. Just ordered a mesh netting on Amazon to keep her from falling out. Used that for 4-5 months and then moved her to a queen. She always wanted us to lay in bed with her to read stories and I was over the tight fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-toddler-bed-if-so-which-one#post-2435368 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 17:51:47 +0000 LovelyPlum 2435368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: thanks! We have the Sniglair crib from Ikea, so we're familiar with it. I'll look into their toddler beds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-toddler-bed-if-so-which-one#post-2435353 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 17:32:04 +0000 MoonMoon 2435353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one from IKEA (a very basic one) and we love it. It's small and light so we can move it. Right now it's in our bedroom and eventually we can move it into his room.</p> <p>This is the bed, Singlar: <a href="http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/spr/39823978/" rel="nofollow">http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/spr/39823978/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-toddler-bed-if-so-which-one#post-2435352 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 17:29:35 +0000 LovelyPlum 2435352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're thinking about moving DD (21.5 months) to a toddler or big girl bed in the relatively near future. She likes to sit in her room and read before bed, and I think it would help her go down easier.</p> <p>I'm just not sure what to get. If we get a toddler bed, we obviously don't have to buy a new mattress/mattress cover/sheets yet. But I'm not sure which one to get.</p> <p>Do you have one? Do you like it? </p>
