Advice please on size of bed

[Nai]

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.
