| Mommyof2qys's Full Review: Graco Glow-in-the Dark Toddler Bed |
Toddlers and Sleeping are two words that have been really stressing me out the past two months. Our oldest is 28 months old and still slept with us in our Big Ole Family Bed. It was getting cramped, so i searched for a bed that she could sleep in herself.
I searched everywhere, including Epinions. I asked all of my mommy friends at Onelist which beds they have used or seen. I ended up at Babies R Us looking at their toddler beds.
The one I immediately liked was white with a headboard that had glow in the dark stars and a moon on it.
Let me start out with the worst thing about this bed. Putting it together was tough. Okay, so I started at 10 o'clock PM and finished up a little after midnight. I kept putting stuff on backwards and would have to change it all around. Another thing that was odd to me was the cardboard piece you put down over the rails. It does not look sturdy but this is all the support the bed needs.
The first morning after my toddler woke up in this bed she sat there and Kept saying "Ooooooh mommy pretty! Mine"? "Yes Honey.. its yours...." Then you could have heard her "Yippppeeeeeee!!!" miles away
This bed is made well. There is a headboard and foot board and two side rails. My crib mattress fits perfectly in the space provided.
Okay.. now lets talk about the weight limit. It says on there for children under 50 pounds. The second night we had the bed, my toddler asked me to go night night with her on her bed.. Okay, I laid down. I think I laid there 2 hours. It was fine. (I should Add I do not weigh 50 pounds and havent weighed anywhere close to it since i was like 7). It supported about 200 pounds and didnt make a noise.
This bed is well worth the 69.99 I paid for it. My toddler has not had any problems with this bed. The rails are sturdy and even if she tries to move them, they will not budge.
THe stars and moon on the headboard glow for about 15-20 minutes after you turn the lights out (provided they have had some light on them to charge them up).
This was a great purchase and I am glad that I got this bed. I debated about spending the money for a bed that i wasnt sure she would even use.
I would recommend this toddler bed for those of you whom have starry eyed kids!
