Kids bed
When should you change from a baby bed to a Kids bed?

Most children are around 2-2.5 years old when they outgrow their cot. However, it does not have to be the age that is decisive for when your child should switch to a kids bed. When you assess that your child has outgrown the baby bed, it is time to switch to a kids bed instead, children grow at different rates, and it is therefore best that you yourself assess when your child needs a new bed . You can keep an eye on whether your child starts to show signs that the child does not want to be in his cot anymore.

If, for example, they try to climb over the bars or in some other way express that they no longer want to be in bed. When they start doing this, it's time to change the bed. If, on the other hand, your child is happy with the baby bed and lies safely and comfortably, then you do not need to replace the bed yet. You only have to change from a baby bed to a kids bed if your child needs it, because a good night's sleep for children requires security, which takes time to get in a new bed.

How to choose the right kids bed

There are a huge number of different kids beds, and it can be difficult to choose the right one. If your child is old enough to have an opinion, let the child help decide which bed would be cool to sleep in. If you let your child help choose what the kids bed should look like and what color it must have, then you are sure that the child will get a bed that the child loves.

The most important thing for a new kids bed is that the child feels safe in it. There are many different sizes of kids beds, and the most important thing is that you find a kids bed that fits the size of your child and that it suits your needs. If you choose a large kids bed, you can advantageously fill one end with pillows and teddy bears, so that the bed does not feel too big.

A bed that is not too big can create security for the child and thus the child gets a better night's sleep.

What height should the kids bed be?

You can advantageously choose a kids bed that is not too high. In this way, you avoid having to worry about your child falling a long way if the child were to fall out of bed. Some kids' beds have room for a den or something underneath, this can be huge fun for the child during the day but incredibly frustrating at night if your child is not yet big enough to climb a ladder.

If you are early in switching to a kids bed, it is therefore a good idea to choose a kids bed that is low. You should also choose a low kids bed, because many children get up at night to get in and cuddle in mum and dad's bed. It must therefore be safe for the child to climb out of bed, so that the child does not get hurt. If your child is around 5-6 years old, you can easily buy one of the high kids beds, with a cave underneath.

How long can the child use a kids bed?

How long your child can use their kids bed depends on the height of your child. Your child will need to replace the kids bed when the child has outgrown the bed. If the kids bed is shaped like, for example, a car or similar, it may be necessary to replace the kids bed a little earlier, because the child does not like the bed anymore. No matter which kids bed you choose, you can be sure that your child can use the kids bed for at least several years.
