| melissabear's Full Review: Little Tikes Roadster Toddler Bed |
I purchased this car bed at a second-hand baby store for my then 2 year old. He was super excited to get it, and I thought for sure this would get him out of my bed and into his own room. Not a chance, he liked to look at it, but wouldn't so much as sit on it without me by his side. Eventually he loosened up, and being a good smaller size, we were able to move this bed into our room next to our bed. The bed itself is in the shape of a big open square and very, very heavy. It took my husbands help just to tip it on its side and slide it across the carpet.
Its made of sturdy plastic which is easy to clean with soap and water, but if the plastic get scratched it can leave sharp little pieces sticking out. And I was a little disappointed to find that the wheels don't spin at all.
We have a piece of plywood in the bed to hold up the mattress, it is resting on a little lip about 1/2 way down on all sides. This fits a standard crib mattress, however, there is a good 5 inch gap left between the mattress and side of the bed. A kid with a small head could probably get trapped in there.
Luckily, my son has a huge head so its never been a problem, but to eliminate the space I rolled up a thick blanket and stuck it down in the crack, making the blanket level with the mattress.
His mattress is on the thinner side, so when its in the bed, there is some of the bed still sticking up, its plenty to keep him from rolling onto the floor.
As far as looks go, we bought ours used for about 1/2 the price it is sold new, and it still looks almost new 2 years later.
My son is almost 4 now, and nearly 40 inches tall but will still fit in this bed for sometime.
