    Ha - I thought was going to be some clownfish inspired bed with a name like Nemo. Bed itself I would think is ok for a toddler if they are likely to just shout out to get in and out (otherwise it looks a bit big to get up and down but can't tell size that well) - but I would be a bit unsure about the desk bit on castors (maybe like Kazzo says don't use it in the beginning) - I have visions of my DD persuading DS (when is a bit older) to go behind it and then try to push the desk in!!! My two will be sharing a room though so maybe that wouldn't be a problem depending on set up.

    At 20 months we put DS into a bed, but we got the reversible bunk from IKEA, its called a KURA
    Much Cheaper - we started at floor level and then turned it over to normal bed height, and will turn it over again for a small bunk in a year or two, very flexible so the bed can grown with the child, and DS thinks is the coolest thing ever has it has a tent roof!

    A few piccies
    94/365 – Big Boys Bed « Graetzfamily's Blog (with mattress at floor level)
    315/365 – Bedroom Overhaul « Graetzfamily's Blog (bed flipped to normal height)
    You can flip it again so the bed is about a metre or so off the ground, if you have a look at it on the IKEA website you'll get what I mean
