We just bought a toddler bed for DS2 as Anelise is going to need the cot real soon.
We discussed possibly buying a regular single bed first but then decided against it as DS2 hasn't slept in a bed apart from ours, and he has me &
DH to stop him rolling out. We bought him a wooden toddler bed from Toys R Us for $145 on special... we've yet to put it up but we liked it for the fact that due to SIDS recommendations, Anelise will need a new cot mattress anyway so DS2 can use his mattress on the toddler bed, he already as all the manchester to go on the bed and it is little enough for him to not be too worried about it... and when he is finished with it, the cot will come down and Anelise can use it.
