| Krystyns's Full Review: Cosco 10-T30 Toddler Bed |
I just moved my 3rd child into this bed and decided I should write an epinion on it since it has served us so well. My daughter who is now 6 slept in this bed from 18mo-4 years old. We took it down and set it up for our next child a little more than a year ago. She slept in it for a year and we moved our 3rd child into it. This bed is still like new! It is as sturdy as it was the day we bought it. The paint still looks good with only a few nicks and chips around where the bolts are. We are very impressed that this bed has held up so well especially since at the time we only paid around $39 for it.
It is a very safe bed for a toddler. It is close to the ground and has rails which keep children from rolling out but still allow room for them to climb up and down. The bars on both the rails and the head board are close enough that a Childs head cannot get trapped in them and the mattress fits very snuggly in the frame.
It is also a very convenient bed to use. It takes up no more space than a crib and uses a standard crib mattress. It was easy to assemble and easy to reassemble years later. Because it is so light weight it can easily be moved from room to room without taking it apart.
Overall we have been very pleased with this Cosco bed. The only problem I can ever remember having with it is that from time to time it has gotten a little squeaky. It was easily solved with some WD-40. One draw back to toddler beds in general is that the bedding for them is very expensive. Even more than you pay for a twin set usually. We only got one fancy set for it and the rest of the time used a regular crib sheet and just some soft crib size blankets. If however you are the type of person who likes to have fancy bedding for your kids there is an endless array of cartoon character toddler bedding to choose from and sometimes you can get good deals on used sets from online auctions.
If you are considering getting a toddler bed I would highly recommend this one. You will get your moneys worth with this bed.
