Moving From The Crib To Toddler Furniture

The move from a crib to toddler furniture, especially a toddler bed, can prove a difficult transition and it is a big move in any child’s life; not to mention a potentially stressful one for parents. Generally speaking, if your toddler is beginning to climb out of the crib then it’s reasonable to assume that she’s ready to make the move up to a toddler bed but it can happen at different times depending on your child. Your baby will also be developing in many other ways at this age and keeping up might seem difficult at first.An Easier Transition From Crib To BedLet your toddler have a hand in choosing her own bed. Surprising her with a brand new place to sleep may not be the positive experience that you envision and by letting her choose with you, it’s possible to make the move a little easier for everybody. However, with that said, it’s important to remember to be practical too – a toddler bed won’t last forever but it does need to last for a couple of years until it’s time to make the next transition.Some toddlers will make the move from a crib to a bed with very few problems, but others may struggle. If you are having difficulties then you can try putting your toddler to sleep in their new bed and letting them move to the cot when they want to. Try replacing the cot so that the bed is in the same position as the cot was; your son or daughter will have the same view which will give a reassuring sense of similarity.Toddler Furniture And Bedding DesignsAnimal figures, bright colors, and strong materials can all be added to your new toddler furniture which can give the toddler bedroom a look of style as well as helping to ensure that your child loves their newly decorated bedroom. As well as individual items of toddler furniture you can also buy full toddler bedding and furniture sets.Bedding SetsBedding sets are a great way of ensuring that everything in the room coordinates and matches. Two colors may look similar when you view them on websites or in the shop but when they’re delivered or you get them home it may turn out that they are quite different in their appearance. If you’re buying more unusual bedding designs then it may also prove very difficult to find the same design at a later date.Choosing The Right SizeThere are various sizes of toddler bed and child’s bed so it is important that you find the right size bedding set to match. You should also look for comfortable materials that are designed to last – this way you can provide a warm and comforting place to relax at night for your child.AccessoriesChild’s beds can be accessorized just like adult beds too. Add cushions, blankets, and throws either to change the design of a bed and bedroom or to add even more luxury to your son’s or daughter’s bedroom. Choosing the right colors means that you can change the look of an existing room or create something completely new with accessories to match right from the start.
