A friend of mine in Canada got her son (a few months older than mine) a Vikare bed from Ikea. It is an extendable bed with folding head and footboards so that it goes from a toddler bed (with side rails) to a twin sized bed. I sent away for a catalog and saw that bed as well as an Ateles bed that also converts from junior to twin. They look well made and are inexpensive compared to the twin beds we've priced at furniture stores.
Of course, there is no Ikea near me so I can't try them out. Has anyone had any experience with Ikea convertible beds, or kids beds in general?
Thanks
Anne
