We didn't feel there was a need to bother with a toddler bed for a few reasons that have been mentioned.
- running out of storage space!
- if it takes a cot mattress, then Aidyn would grow out of it fairly quickly anyway, and if it takes a different size mattress from a standard single, then thats just extra $$ to waste.
- We don;t really have the money to buy him a toddler bed, and then a new bed (and another mattress) in a year or two anyway.
- If we ever have a guest they can sleep on Aidyns single bed whilst he rooms in with us - but they couldnt do that if it was a toddler bed...
