Did anyone go straight for a single bed not a toddler bed?

Happy · Oct 1st, 2010, 06:23 AM

Phoebe is getting really uncomfortable in her cot now so I was thinking of moving her straight into a single bed rather than changing her cot into a toddler bed.

Has anyone else done this and how did it go?

Not yet, but plan to. Here everything is just so expensive, I don't wanna have to change AGAIN in another year or so... I'll be stalking, sorry can't help with the how'd it go part!!

Yep - he loves his single bed! Besides I need the cot for baby number 2 but that's not the reason I didn't bother with the toddler bed - he's so tall I wanted him to have plenty of room and a single bed fitted the bill perfectly also means you don't have to make 2 changes, one to a toddler bed and then again to a single bed.

I have a bed guard but did you put anything else like a duvet on the floor to padd it out incase they fall?

Hoow old was your LO when you moved him?

We've not moved Poppy yet but have bought a single bed for her room when she does eventually go into it.

I went straight to a single bed for ds1, but we were given a toddler bed for ds2, otherwise he would have gone straight into a single bed too.

i put archie into a single bed 3 nights ago as i want the cotbed for the baby and didnt want it to seem like i was turfing him out and putting baby straight in. hes in bunk beds(on the bottom) with his big broter and he has a bedguard and he loves it, he goes to bed fine and still sleeos through the only difference is instead of shouting us in the morning from his cot he rattles the safety gate now lol

He was about 19 months. We have a bed guard and put a few pillows on either side just in case he fell out. He's only fallen out twice and didn't even wake up!
