When you have a toddler, the first thing you want to do is to move them away from their cribs to a toddler bed. But how safe are some of the toddler beds on the market today? The majority of the toddler beds available are surrounded with cartoon based characters. These are much more for appearance sake than they are for the purpose of being long lasting.
It is not unusual for parents not to want to put a lot of money into their child's toddler bed. The child will only be a toddler for a little while anyway and soon, they will be purchasing them a bigger bed. Plus, at this stage in their child's life, they are extremely active.
Safety Rails For Beds
What is the best way to select a kids bed? First of all, parents need to take into consideration that their toddler is going to be spending time jumping on the bed. It does not matter how many times you tell your toddler not to do this, they still will and we all know this. You did it and they will too. You definitely want to purchase a bed that is sturdy enough to withstand this kind of pressure and abuse.
Another factor that might need to be considered when purchasing your child's bed is if you have another little one running around your home. Consider things that may happen in the future such as you having to sleep with your toddler at night in the case they have a bad dream. Is the bed going to be able to withstand that much weight?
These things could most definitely place way too much pressure on the frame of a cheap bed purchased for a toddler. You want to purchase a quality built toddler's bed, not one that is poor in quality and not built to last. Parents truly need to consider their toddler and how active they are when purchasing a toddler bed and not how well it will go with the room décor.
When you finally make your selection, you will discover that your toddler bed has bed rails with it. Some parents will opt to use these bed rails while other parents will not, but there is some caution that should be considered when using them. It is not unusual for some children to slip between the gaps of some bed rails.
Depending on the height of the bed rails and the thickness of the mattress that you are using, then these might not match at all. If the mattress is higher than the bed rails, then the bed rails are not going to be of any help to you. Ensure to take this into consideration when selecting your toddler bed as well.
