We need to order LO a toddler bed this summer. Any recommendations? I like the Oeuf ones but they are so expensive! I prefer something that comes in light wood or white...

I say skip a toddler bed and go right to a twin. Toddler beds always seem like a waste of money since they are only a short term solution.
That said amazon, ikea, and Walmart have cute options for around $50 without mattress.

We skipped the toddler bed and went to a twin. It didn't take up much more space than a toddler bed and I think it'll last a lot longer! We ordered DS' set on Wayfair!

@travelingnanny: @mrsjyw: we don't have room for a twin bed in his room, I am pretty sure...he will be sharing with LO2, so we will have a bed and a crib, and bookshelf, and dresser, and glider...and the room is only about 10x11!
@travelingnanny: I think a lot of them go up to 50lbs which would be like a 6 year old, so hoping he could be in it for at least another 2 years or so.

I don't know if they do anything other than crib to toddler bed conversions, but we've loved our furniture from PB Kids.

@petunia354: they don't sell toddler beds unfortunately! I looked there.

@hilsy85: I figured you wanted the toddler bed for less square footage more than anything, but when I was shopping for DS' bed, I noticed that there was maybe a few inches difference between twins and most toddler beds!

Ikea has some adjustable bed options, search Toddler bed and you should find them.

@mrsjyw: but I feel like the frame must add a few inches as well, and i just think with a higher/bigger profile it will make the room look more cramped...I could remeasure I guess.

@hilsy85: Yea, I guess depending on the wall that you're placing it, those few inches could def free up the room with a toddler bed!

I'm guessing you checked out Land of Nod? I like the Uptown toddler bed.. Other than that, I know IKEA has a bunch of options. My parents have a crib from there that DS sleeps in every day and it's actually held up well.
Hopefully someone will chime in with some real life experience

@petunia354: ummm I didn't because I'm a dodo, but I really like the uptown bed! And it's not too expensive.

We have the Davinci Moderna from Amazon. It looks nice and I don't we will have any issues with it lasting for the amount of time we will need it!

We're skipping the toddler bed also. BIL gave us his and DS keeps rolling out of it, every single night. So we're going with a daybed that extends to a king.
