Another factor is how long your little guy is. At 16 months Darcy was nearly too long for the cot, so we went straight to a regularbed as a toddler bed only used the same length matress. She's never had a bed rail eiether. I figured a decent ensemble should last until she's about 10 anyway....
Straight to a single bed and only used a bed rail for 2 months. Toddler beds are a waste of money to me. I preferred to go for a single bed simply because only one transition, i paid alot more then i wanted to (close to $1000) but for a bed that will last a long time and wasnt a cheap piece of bedding.
I got mine from Bev Marks.....and that was on special..LOL
DD has a toddler bed but she is small and could not get in and out of a big bed by herself. It was $120 from memory and will be used for this bub as our cot doesn't convert. I really like the toddler bed as it is close to the floor (DD has fallen out a couple of times) and and just the right size for DD. We used the cot mattress so didn't need to buy a new one.
We went straight to a normal size bed with bed rail. The main reason was so that we only had to buy a bed once, not buy one and then another one. It worked well for us.
We went straight to a single bed (a tall girl). We got it from fantastic furniture but we will replace the mattress at 12 months with a better quality one.
