Your baby has grown into a full-fledged toddler and is ready for a ?big girl? or ?big boy? bed. Have you seen the latest toddler furniture? It?s cute!
But you really don?t have to spend a lot to make your toddler comfortable in his or her bedroom.
Your first decision will be whether to buy a toddler bed. The toddler bed is a piece of furniture sized just right for babies who are too big for their crib. Most use the mattress from the crib, however, so they are not actually that much bigger in size. Toddler beds just get the child accustomed to sleeping without rails all around and is low enough that if the child rolls out, he won?t get hurt.
Has your child grown quickly? If so, you might think about skipping the toddler bed as furniture and buy a twin size bed instead. You can purchase rails made of cloth and plastic that do a fine job of keeping the child in the bed and allowing him more room for movement. If you are looking to save money, this is one way to do it. By buying a twin bed you?ve eliminated the often expensive toddler size furniture that will only have to be upgraded later.
Should you buy a toddler size dresser? Again, the toddler furniture is precious, but do you expect your two or three year old to always put away his socks, underwear or t-shirts? The purchase of toddler size furniture is less about function and more about how absolutely adorable it is. Unless you just have money to blow, invest in furniture that will last the child (or someone else in the family later if it doesn?t match his room any more) for a lifetime. If you buy a six drawer dresser now you can still insist your toddler help put his things away by putting items like socks, shirts and under clothes in the lower drawers.
Since the furniture will be heavier, help open and close the drawers for him to avoid smashing his little fingers.
When considering furniture for a toddler?s room remember to keep special needs in mind. Some children have allergic reactions to compressed woods, or the glues used to hold them together. If you have just bought new furniture that seems to have a loud smell and your child develops allergy symptoms, let your doctor know. It may help pin down the allergy culprit without undergoing a lot of tests.
Use the money you save by not buying toddler furniture to change the d?cor in your child?s room often. A toddler who likes Big Bird one day may be crazy over princesses or Thomas the Tank Engine another day. Use standard colors that match the furniture you?ve selected and you can change themes of the room as often as your child changes favorites. Your toddler?s room can still be cute and as unique as his ever changing personality even if you don?t sink a lot of money into toddler sized furniture.
