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
