Assembly
Although Delta Wood Ninja Turtles Toddler Bed assembly is simple enough, we would like to highlight some important points.
1. First of all, make sure that all the parts are included in the kit. If some are damaged or missing, contact the manufacturer for replacement. In no case try to change the parts by yourself.
2. You'll need to screw some parts together, and we recommend you to keep away from using an electric screwdriver.

What is a Toddler Bed
If your little kid is just about to grow out of a crib, this review is what you need. Most parents often face the problem of transition from a crib to a big kid bed (twin bed). As compared to twin beds, beds for toddlers are more functional, more colorful, and safer. Now toddlers have an opportunity to fall asleep on their favorite racer cars or in beds with their favorite characters from fairy tales or cartoons. A brightly decorated nursery with an exclusive bed is the best and the safest place for rest, games, and comfortable sleep. Hence, we have picked 5 most beautiful and reliable toddler beds for your careful review.
We would like to stress that all toddler beds come without pillows, sheets, and mattresses. But you can choose a quality mattress from our other review on the crib mattresses.
What Features to Compare
Design
The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a toddler bed is its design. Here you should note its style and the material it is made of. The bed should be sturdy, reliable, and of course, eco-friendly. That's why one of the best materials for such beds is a solid wood. It is highly durable and breathable. Naturally, some parts like screws are usually made of stainless steel. And they must be well fixed and hidden in order to prevent any injuries. Beds manufactured from plastic should also be eco-friendly and BPA-free. And looking for a bed for your todler, always consider the sex of your child. Of course, there are exceptions, but usually, a car bed is much more interesting for a boy who'd like to feel a real racer while something designed in soft, soothing colors better suits a girl's room. At the same time, a fun colorful artwork with characters from kid's favorite cartoons is suitable for girls and boys alike.
Safety
The next important feature is safety. First of all, a toddler bed must be stable and it is a great advantage if the bed has an additional leg (in the middle). If your child is just learning to walk, it is vitally important for a bed to have high side rails around the perimeter. They will protect your baby during sleep, preventing any falls. For older children (2 years+) the rails should be on both sides. The low-to-floor beds will help your child easily get in and out. Consider some small details like rounded corners. They protect kids from accidental tripping into furniture and possible injuries. And, finally, the bed must meet all quality standards and be environment-friendly. Therefore, always ask for a health certificate.
Mattress Compatibility
If you want to get a bed with a mattress included, we would like to emphasize that most toddler beds come without one. So, we would like to draw your attention to the bed size and its compatibility with different mattresses. Choose a bed with a nursery size in mind. The bed should not be too bulky in a small room as a child needs enough space to camper and entertain. All beds are compatible with a standard-sized crib mattress. In the United States and Canada, the standard mattress size is 27.5" - 28.7" x 51.7" - 53". We would like to point out that some beds can also be compatible with a twin bed mattress measured at 38" x 75".
FAQ:
Q: When should we switch to a toddler bed?
A: A baby should be moved from a crib to a toddler bed before he/she is able to climb out of the crib on his/her own. Most toddlers can hop over the crib rail when they are about 35-40 inches tall. And the best time for switching is between 18 and 24 months of age. Yet, extremely fidgety babies might attempt to climb out sooner, and that's why the market offers 15+ months models.
Q: How to transition my baby from a crib to a toddler bed?
A: As soon as you've made up your mind that the time is right, simply put your current crib mattresses into a toddler bed. We also suggest you remove the crib from the nursery when the new bed arrives. To let your little one feel grounded, soothe him/her by reading a story or crooning a lullaby before sleep.
Q: What safety tests have been conducted on the toddler beds under review?
A: All beds under review meet national safety standards. For full information about safety standards and test results, refer to the Safety section in our comparison chart.
Q: What tools are needed to assemble a bed?
A: Manufacturers usually include all tools that you might need for assembly in a package. Additionally, you may need a screwdriver or a power drill. All detailed assembly instructions with pictures are also generally included to guide you through the setup process.
Q: What is the weight limit for toddler beds?
A: Most toddler beds can withstand up to 50 lbs. However, the maximum weight limit for convertible models can reach up to 200-250 lbs.
Q: Do I need a guard rail with a toddler bed?
A: Toddler beds are safe and close to the ground, so you won’t need to buy additional rails for them.
Q: When will my child outgrow a toddler bed?
A: It depends on a particular model. As a rule, as soon as your child reaches 50 lbs, it’s time to switch to a "big" bed. And some toddler beds can be converted into twin beds to last your kid for years. More so, by adding different components, you can re-configure most beds as you like.
Q: Does a toddler bed require the same mattress and bedding as a crib?
A: Yes. Toddler beds use a crib mattress, and the sheets are the same as well unless we speak about convertible models (twin beds need bigger mattresses).
