Choosing an Incredibed to Help Transition Your Child

Choosing the right bed to transition your toddler from a crib can be a difficult task.  There are many worries associated with the transition such as your child's fear of change, falling out of bed at night,getting wedged in the frame or simply staying in their own bed at night.

The transition from crib to a toddler bed or twin bed can be made easier by choosing the right bed for your toddler and Incredibeds can help.  Parents designed and patented the Incredibeds specifically for this purpose.

Here is how Incredibeds plush bed frames can help transition your toddler and why they are a safe choice: 

• The Incredibeds are plush bed frames that fit around a twin mattress and box spring or foundation.
• There is no wood or metal in the frame so there is nothing for your child to bump into.  The luxuriously plush microfiber simply wraps around the mattress set.
• There is nothing for your child to get wedged between.
• The mattress and foundation rest on the ground making it a safe height for toddlers. This makes is very easy for a toddler to get in and out of bed and great for potty training.  Because of the low height chances of injury from a fall are slim and to help cushion a fall simply place a rug at the sides.
• Incredibeds include a custom fitted bottom sheet your child sleeps on.  With this sheet Incredibeds are recommended for ages 3 years and up.  Perfect for after a toddler has transitioned.
• To help protect your child from falling out of bed, Incredibeds has an accessory waterproof bumper sheet.  With this bumper sheet the Incredibed is now recommended for ages 18 months and up. This waterproof bumper sheet zips into your existing Incredibeds frame. The sheet is a soft woven cotton material that is laminated with a safe polyurethane underlayment and has two side pockets built in for two EPE foam bumpers. These bumpers are not only safe but do not move, can not wedge your child between anything, and are easily removed for washings.

Before you make the transition you should prepare your child for the switch to a new kids bed.  Let them know they going to be moving to their big boy/girl bed soon.  Have them choose the Incredibed character that they like best as this will get them excited about the move too.

Once you have purchased your new Incredibed, place the bed safely in the room. Have your child help setup their new friend. Be sure to place your kids bed safely away from windows, heating units, wall lamps, and drapery and blind cords.

Use the same blankets from the crib for a while, even if too small. This will bring them comfort and familiarity. Interact with their Incredibed together, place their hands inside the hand pockets so they can control their arms and give themselves a hug.
