Tiana slept with us pretty much allthe time since she was born, and when we could get her to sleep in her bed she wouldn't without a pillow. I checked on her so much as I was worried but it was the only way she would sleep! She has just turned 2 and loves her pillow still. You can buy Tontine Junior Pillows from kmart or Big W for about $10. They are designed for little people.

With the toys I would think now would be fine as long as it isnt too big.
