Hi all,
We are planning to go for baby #2 next year (I can't believe it!). Since we have a small (2-bedroom) townhome and will be staying here for several more years, we are planning to have the first two babies share the same room. Space is a little tight, but we will have room for the crib, a twin or toddler bed, and the changing table without trouble. (We had built out the closet so there are drawers, bookshelves, and hanging rods in there, so we don't need dressers.)
Does anyone have recommendations on toddler beds, or should we just get him a twin and use baby rails? Is the height of a standard twin bed a problem? If we put the mattress & boxspring right on the floor, I think the height would be okay, but then I don't know how we'd attach the guard rails.
Anyone have opinions? I know it's early, but we're planning to get the new bed for Jake's second birthday next January and get him slowly moved into it before I'm really pregnant again. I like to plan ahead so I can watch what things cost and buy when they go on sale...
Thanks!
