15 Awesome Toddler Bed Ideas

So it’s time to move your toddler from the crib to a toddler bed. I dreaded this moment with our last child. I knew he was our last, and the crib just felt right and the BIG BOY BED is just so TODDLER not BABY, wah. BUT, then our kid started escaping his crib. The great crib escape (as demonstrated by our third child in the video below) was what finally led me to agree to putting him in a toddler bed.

As you are trying to decide on bedding options for your toddler, here are some ideas. Some are traditional, some not so much – but whatever you decide – be prepared for the transition. Transitioning a toddler to a bed from a crib can be a bit of a pain. We’ve done this four times with four kids and each time has resulted in finding the best technique that works for each.
