There is no precise age at which a child of the cradle to the bed; however this key stage usually occurs between 2 and 3 years. It is an important step that usually depends on the maturity of the child and for which you should not be in a hurry. The fundamental thing for a child to sleep well is to feel safe.
The bed gives the child greater freedom to get up, but also greater risks if he is very restless. To minimize these risks and smooth out this important step in a year's life, some parents turn to transitional beds. Children's specific beds small, up to 6 years old, smaller than the usual ones and provided with decorative railings.
La low structure of these transition beds makes it easier for the child to get on and off it, giving them greater freedom of movement. They are also often provided with safety side rails so that little ones do not suffer accidents while sleeping, for their peace of mind and that of their parents.
Another feature in favor of these transitional beds is their little size. The approximate dimensions of this type of bed in centimeters are 135x76x71. Smaller than the usual ones, they help to free up the room and allow more space to be allocated to the play area. A really useful feature on smaller floors.
Despite the advantages, we cannot forget that the acquisition of these transition beds supposes one more investment for the family. Knowing that the price of a wooden transition bed with side rails can range between € 70 and € 200 depending on its design, it is up to each family to assess its “profitability” or not.
