The bed he chose is blue, my son loves blue.  The second he saw it, he climbed up into the bed and lay down, right in front of the salesman.  Then he proceeded to climb all over it and play in it.  The funny thing was, he sat on the car with his little legs sticking out and started making “vroom, vroom” noises.  I have no idea who taught him that since neither me nor his dad nor his grandparents have ever said that word!  When we were about to leave the store, he wouldn’t leave!  I had to convince him that we had bought that bed for him and that it was going to come to our house in a week.  I explained to him that it was going to be like when Santa Claus brings over gifts.  We had to wait a little bit, but then it would come.  In the end, he left with us, but was slightly teary-eyed.

Example of the Little Tikes Race Car Bed

We really liked the Little Tikes Race Car Bed because it was really sturdy.  My husband sat on it and knocked his hands against the entire bed.  At one point, he knocked and pushed so loud that the salesman looked over.  Apparently, lots of parents do it, so he didn’t mind.  It is really sturdy and the raised edges made us feel better about our son sleeping in it since it will help prevent him from rolling off the side.  My husband characterized it as “pretty good detailing” in terms of the tire and the body so clearly, he thought it was a good enough replica of a car to buy for our son.  Both of them loved the car and my husband joined my son while he was pretending to drive around in it and I saw them both steering a fake steering wheel while driving by cows and sheep and mailmen and all sorts of words that my son had remembered from the books we read to him.

If you’re looking to buy a racing car bed, I would highly recommend the Little Tikes Race car bed.

Race car bed

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 bed

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.
