The big transition
Moving your child from their cot to a 'big bed' can be daunting - for the child and the parents!
If your child is climbing out of their cot, it makes sense to move them into a bed. However, sometimes we might move our child before they're ready which might cause extra stress for them and us.
Some reasons for the big move include:
- You're expecting another baby and need the cot for the younger sibling;
- You think your child needs more space than the cot allows;
- You're excited for your child to move into a big bed;
- You simply feel it's time/they're too old for a cot.
A happy medium
Remember, if your child is happy in their cot, don't feel like you need to rush to move them into a bed!
At Baby Depot, we stock a range of cots that convert into toddler beds which allows for a happy medium and easier transition for your child.
A toddler bed is your child's cot converted into a smaller-than-single size bed.
Benefits
- Your child is familiar with the bed because it's still their cot;
- It gets them used to sleeping without sides/bars surrounding them before making the transition into a single bed which can seem HUGE for a toddler;
- Their room layout will remain the same as you can keep the toddler bed in the same spot.
