Car Bed

One popular type of junior bed is the car bed. Most of the time, these appeal to little boys, however, once in awhile, the little girl will really enjoy this as well. The car bed is a great way to introduce a new bed to your toddler. Your toddler will love it since it is in the shape of a car, something he or she is familiar with since they ride in your car and most likely have a few car toys. The fact that the car bed resembles a regular car is comforting to most toddlers since they are familiar with riding in cars and possibly sleeping during the car ride.

Since sleeping is something that most toddlers like to avoid, having a toddler car bed will make going to bed infinitely more appealing. The car bed almost resembles a toy that your toddler can play in. Introduce the bed to your toddler and have him get comfortable with playing in the bed. Don’t play too much however or else your toddler will never go to sleep. Try to play a little and then ask him or her to relax in the bed. Have him pretend you are on a car ride to your dreams. All of these little things will help to introduce your toddler to sleeping on his own in his own bed.

The main design of a car bed is the race car bed. These beds are designed to look like race cars. The racing car bed is low to the ground which makes the bed a bit easier for your child to climb into. Usually, the place where your child would sleep is the back of the car which is made to be raised up a little bit for extra protection around your child’s head. Some of the beds are raised around all of the edges so if your child rolls in his sleep, these are great substitutes for bed rails. There are also specialty theme beds like the bat mobile bed, the fire engine bed, and the hummer bed. For little girls, there is the castle bed and the cloud bed and some other designs that appeal more to little girls.

Car beds are made in a lot of different materials. The main materials are wood and plastic. The wood bed is a bit more sturdy and it is also a bit heavier than plastic. The plastic car beds are a bit softer on the edges since plastic will bend a little. These are also a bit lighter, but the construction is not as detailed as wood.

Pricing for these car beds range from $200 to $400 on average, although there are some that are a lot more expensive. When shopping for a car bed, be sure to shop around for the best price since pricing at different stores will vary greatly. A good comparison shopping engine online is Nextag which allows you to see which stores have the item in stock and how much the average cost of the bed is.

Car beds are very fun beds for your kids. If you are considering a junior bed, consider a car bed. This will definitely make it easier for you to coach your kid to bed.
