POINTS OF INTEREST

As with wooden junior beds the novelty versions help to provide a smoother transition for your toddler from the familiar security of their cot to the daunting proportions of a standard single bed.

The added bonus with a novelty bed is that if your child is particularly nervous about moving out of their cot the new bed is an exciting and tempting prospect to encourage them to give it a try.

Keep in mind that some novelty toddler beds are smaller than regular wooden starter beds which means you will have to move your child in to a standard single bed sooner so check on the dimensions before you buy to ensure the bed fits your needs.
