What is a 2-year-old child's bed?

What we call a 2-year-old child's bed is a bed dedicated to the youngest. Indeed, the infant will sleep in a cradle or a co-sleeping bed until they are 6 months old. Then, they will need more space and will move to a cot. The use of baby bars prevents the child from falling or getting out of their bed at night, as they are still too young to evolve without supervision.

From the age of 2, it's not uncommon for the child to start feeling cramped in their cot. The proof is that they might try to escape regularly. Therefore, it's the sign parents needed to move to a young child's bed, or a 2-year-old child's bed. This child's bed looks like a simple bed. The only difference? It's furniture more adapted to a child with different possibilities in terms of dimensions or specific equipment.

From 2 years old, or at least when your child is ready, you can furnish their bedroom with a 2-year-old child's bed.

Why choose a 2-year-old child's bed?

The 2-year-old child's bed is perfectly adapted to the age of the little ones. It can notably offer reduced dimensions, a playful and reassuring design, or the presence of storage for toys, books, etc. Whether it's a bed for a girl or a bed for a boy, it's perfect for accompanying the growth of the little ones. Depending on the model, it can be kept throughout childhood and sometimes even during adolescence if the child doesn't feel cramped in it.

It's therefore the opportunity to opt for bedding perfectly adapted to your child's age so that they can have peaceful and safe nights.

Safety criteria for a 2-year-old child's bed

In terms of safety, several criteria must be respected for a suitable 2-year-old child's bed:

• The presence of the CE marking: it ensures that the model complies with current European standards.
• The possibility of adding a bed rail: it's not at all mandatory, but there are bed rails that can be attached to the parents' bed or the child's bed if you want to limit the risk of falling. Some models of 2-year-old child's beds already have a small rail.
• Follow the assembly instructions: whatever the type of bed, it is essential to follow the assembly instructions. If a part is broken, damaged or missing, it's better to turn to the seller for a claim.
• Add a mattress suitable for a 2-year-old child: the 2-year-old child's bed is a bed with a bed base, but rarely delivered with a mattress. For the smallest dimensions, parents can use the mattress that was installed in the cot. Otherwise, it will be necessary to opt for a child mattress adapted to the new bed.

The different types of 2-year-old child's beds

The 2-year-old child's bed is a category that includes many different models of children's beds. Each of them has very specific features. The choice of the ideal piece of furniture will therefore be made according to the layout of the child's room, their preferences and their needs.

Simple bed

The simple child's bed is the most classic model of a 2-year-old child's bed. It is a bed base with a bed frame. In terms of design, you can find all sorts of styles with several colours, modern lines, more traditional or vintage-inspired, with or without a headboard. In short, everything is possible to choose the simple bed that will go with the decoration of your child's room.

Trundle bed

The child's trundle bed looks deceptively like a simple bed. However, it hides in its drawer under the bed base a second pull-out child's bed. This is the perfect solution when two children share the room occasionally. If you plan to invite friends to sleep over later, the presence of this second bed will be quite appreciated. Moreover, the child's trundle bed doesn't take up more space than a simple bed.

House bed

If you want something fun and playful, you'll love the child's house bed. This two-year-old child's bed has a pretty structure like a little house. The design can be minimalist or more elaborate with a roof, small windows, anything is possible! The little ones will love discovering this bed in which they feel reassured. If your child dreads moving to a big bed, this can be an excellent solution!

Convertible bed

The convertible child's bed is the perfect solution for the little ones. It is a piece of furniture that is able to evolve as the child grows. For example, there is the convertible baby bed which is a cot that transforms into a small child's bed, perfect for little ones up to 6 years old.

If you want to opt for a more durable solution over time, you can choose the convertible child's bed. Initially, it is only 140 cm long, which reminds your child of the dimensions of their cot. Then, you can extend it to be the right size from the age of 6 and onwards.

Bed with storage

It's not uncommon for a child's room to be overflowing with toys, books, stuffed animals and more. The presence of additional storage is therefore often highly appreciated by parents and this is precisely what the child's bed with storage offers.

The child's bed with storage is a child's bed equipped for example with a bed drawer, shelves, drawers or even cupboards. There are different possibilities depending on the model.

Montessori bed

Finally, the Montessori child's bed is the 2-year-old child's bed par excellence. Designed to suit the Montessori method, it is positioned close to the floor to allow the little ones to get up and go to bed autonomously. This bed base close to the floor also limits the risk of falling. You can thus more easily implement the Montessori method at home.

What size for a 2-year-old child's bed?

In terms of dimensions, there are several possibilities for a 2-year-old child's bed:

• 70x140 cm: this is often the case for a convertible baby bed transformed into a child's bed. Reassuring and adapted to the smallest, these dimensions are perfect for a 2-year-old child. However, it is necessary to move to a larger size from the age of 6.
• 90x140 cm: these are the dimensions of a convertible child's bed. At two years old, they are therefore particularly suitable. You just need to extend the bed to continue using the furniture for those over 6 years old.
• 90x190 cm: these are the standard dimensions of a single bed. They are also suitable for a 2-year-old child and will even be suitable until adulthood.
• 90x200 cm: with this slightly longer version of the single bed, little ones who will become big teens will feel less cramped.
