When buying a bed for your child you need to first consider two important questions:
1. What are your child’s needs?
Think of comfort, safety and longevity. If you’re looking for a children’s bed for an active toddler, you’ll need to consider how capable your child is climbing in and out of bed safely. How tall is your child and are they likely to need a bed that adjusts to their never-ending growth spurts? Which type of bed suits your child and dare we ask, which type do they want?
Think long-term as well – do you want to transition from a cot to a toddler bed, or would your child be ready for a small single? Many wonder what age children move into a bed, but the answer is simple: you know your child and you will know which bed works best for your child.
2. What is your child’s bedroom like?
Practicality and style play a key part too. Do you have a lot of floor space to fill or is your child’s bedroom on the smaller side? Do you need extra storage? Is there a need for a bunk bed or a loft bed, enabling more living space?
