If you’ve been searching for the perfect bed for your toddler, there’s likely a number of brands that you’ve come across. But which one is best suited to your needs? We’ve completed a full rundown of those brands right here.

You’ll find that most of the Little Tikes products we’ve featured on this website are pretty unique in terms of design. For example, Little Tikes have both Jeep and pirate ship themed beds in their range. However you feel about Little Tikes as a brand, they definitely have an incredibly versatile range of products in their roster.

STEP2 – You’ll find that most manufacturers of children’s furniture either use wood or plastic to construct their products. Just taking one look at a product in Step2’s range and you’ll notice that they’ve opted for the latter.

What’s more, you’ll likely find a number of branded products within Step2’s range.

Delta Children
Delta Children – The last name on our list of toddler bed brans is Delta Children, a name that you likely haven’t heard of before.

We’re particularly fond of the attention to detail Delta Children pay when it comes to safety. They understand that your child needs to be kept completely safe whilst sleeping, which is why you’ll find all of their beds have been designed close to the ground with high rise panels at the side to prevent your child from falling out of bed.
What to look for in a good toddler bed
Now you have a good understanding of the various toddler bed brands available on the market, it’s worth taking into consideration some of the things to look for in a good toddler bed. Let’s take a look at some of our recommendations in that department.
Safety
Equally as important to design or more so is safety. Of course you want your child to be as safe as possible during the night, so pick a bed that makes that possible. You’ll find that all of the beds featured in this article are designed with safety in mind.
Some of the most important safety features you can look out for are side rails. You’ll find that most beds use side rails along the side of the bed to prevent your child from falling out of bed during the night. Chances are, you’ll be able to remove these rails as your child grows up. You’ll also find that a lot of toddler beds are designed to be low down, this means that if your child does fall out of bed, they won’t do too much damage.
Design
Children like things to look good and if they do, they’re more likely to enjoy using them. Because of this, you’ll want to pay careful attention to the design of a bed before buying it. If you’re not sure what design of bed to go with, there’s plenty of branded options out there that focus on a kids’ TV show or movie. Chances are, you’re likely aware of a brand that your toddler loves, so look for a bed that uses this.
Build Quality
The last thing you’ll want to look out for when it comes to picking a good toddler bed is build quality. When you’re spending a lot of money on a product, you’ll want to make sure that it’s as well built as possible. We’ve made sure that all of the beds featured on this website are built fantastically. If you’re looking for your own toddler bed, always check the materials used to make sure you’re getting a well-built product.
