She's never fallen off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856535 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:22:58 +0000 kakimochi 1856535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we went from crib to twin bed, with a rail. wouldn't you know it, she tumbled off the foot of the bed. I put a pillow there the next night, but explained to her that she should stay near her pillow so she doesn't fall off again. i would have liked it if we could fit a full/queen in her room, but there's no way. she's 4 now, and she has a jr loft bed now, so she sleeps on the bottom twin mattress on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856417 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:39:12 +0000 lamariniere 1856417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did crib to twin, but our twin is very low and I didn't use rails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856357 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:23:52 +0000 Maysprout 1856357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did crib to full size too. I don't put it on a frame at first and its on carpet so not a big tumble. We just did this with my 10 month old and she's so much happier with her room now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856349 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:22:15 +0000 NovBaby1112 1856349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we went from a crib to twin mattress on the floor. I wish we would have gotten a bigger bed though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856328 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:13:05 +0000 looch 1856328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went from the crib to a full sized bed. I had planned to convert the crib to a toddler bed, but my son refused to use it, so we had to explore other options. If you have the space, go for a full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856326 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:12:20 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1856326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing a twin mattress on the floor. No worry about the height. When he outgrows that we will get him a queen that will be his bed forever. No need to spend money on the inbetween like that :)</p> <p>ETA we got a really think twin foam mattress from a mattress store for about $50. It worked as a floor bed when he was very young (although that was short lived and we went back to the crib). It is thin, but he weighs so little that it is really comfortable for him (and honestly its comfortable to me too, although i have never slept on it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856314 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:07:29 +0000 Mamaof2 1856314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: yep and its nice when we have company - I can pull a kid into bed with us and offer up a full size bed for 2 people instead of a twin and a sleeping bag </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856285 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:52:57 +0000 78h2o 1856285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yeah, right after I posted this, I started thinking about maybe a bigger bed than a twin. Glad to know it worked for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856268 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:47:27 +0000 Mamaof2 1856268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved both of my kids from crib to full size beds - I use pool noodles under the fitted sheet so they don't roll off.</p> <p>With DS we skipped the box spring for a few months in case he still fell (even with the pool noodle) but with DD we did box spring and mattress right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twin-bed-vs-toddler-bed#post-1856265 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:43:56 +0000 78h2o 1856265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone move their kid from a crib to a twin bed?? Or would it be too high, even with rails? I hate to buy a new bed just for a couple years, if a twin bed could suffice. Technically, I guess I could put a twin mattress directly on the floor, but that wouldn't be very aesthetically pleasing and I probably wouldn't want to do that. </p>
