Ever since the movie The Toy every kid has wanted a toddler race car bed. Unfortunately for parents, these toddler race car beds have usually been of inferior quality and extrememly expensive. Now today with advances in complicated polymers and resins, toddler race car beds have become far cheaper and better in quality. The one thing that they lack is that they will never really be a portable toddler bed and in order to truly take advantage of them you need a lot of space.

A Quality Toddler Race Car Bed For Cheap

My personal favorite in the toddler race car bed market is the Little Tikes Lightning McQueen Toddler Bed. This is not a cheap, flimsy toddler race car bed, but rather a well constructed bed that should last for years to come. It features special cubbies to hold books and small collectibles. I use these to put spare diapers as well as sippy cups in. They are great for when you quickly need to put something away or grab something.

In addition to this the bed has a built in front storage area that holds just about anything you can think of. This front area is big enough to everything but the largest of toys, and is especially suited to hold different toys. In addition it is perfect spot for spare bedding – pillows, blankets and sheets should all fit comfortably in this storage locker.

This bed uses the standard crib mattress and support so that you do not have to go out and purchase a new mattress for it. The bed is big enough so that your child can use this toddler race car bed all the way up until he is about five years old. It is perfect for this because unlike some other kid’s beds, the theme is appropriate for kids all the way up to age five or so. Your kid can now be the coolest one in his kindergarten class because his toddler race car bed is a toy as well as a place to sleep.

The only real negative on this bed is the price. You can find the bed for around three hundred dollars, which while this may seem a lot for a kids bed, you have to figure that your child will be able to use it all the way up to first or second grade. Again the solid construction means that you will not be looking for another bed a couple years after buying this one, it is built to last.

Whichever toddler race car bed you decide to go with you will have one happy child on your hands. Take the plunge and get one today.

Buying a portable toddler bed is a big decision for any parent. Not only can it be difficult to find one that is appropriate and will last, it can also be an emotional time as a portable toddler bed is a sign that you child is no longer a baby and can handle sleeping other places, but is too big for a crib. No longer wearing baby cloths, toddler clothing is another sign that they are growing up. While that can be difficult to find that perfect portable toddler bed, with a little hard work you should be able to find what you are looking for.

How To Select A Portable toddler bed

There are many different options that you need to consider when shopping for a portable toddler bed. The first is what your budget is. Portable toddler beds can fluctuate in price, but spending any more than a couple of hundred dollars (mattress included) is not recommended. The reason for this is because most beds will not be used forever, and most will be damaged when they are being used. Even the most well behaved of toddlers will do something to their portable toddler bed, while this damage can usually be repaired like I said I would not invest a lot of money on your portable toddler bed. In addition this is not their permanent bed, so you just want to have something they can sleep in.

After you have a price range you need to decide what materials you want to have the bed made out of. Most are one of three types – wood, cloth, or metal. Wood beds are nice, but are usually very heavy and can be much more susceptible to damage when compared to the other two types. They are not very portable and can be a pain to lug around.

Metal beds are lighter than wood, but in general are cold and unforgiving. They do however last a really long time and can be a solid bed for a long time. In addition to that many metal beds are easily expandable. Metal in general are less expensive than wood, but usually more than a hard plastic resin bed.

While a cloth bed may seem like a cheap and bad alternative, when you look at some of the newer ones that have come out they really can be a good purchase. Cloth is much more resistant to damage than either wood or metal, and is not nearly as harsh or unforgiving. In addition cloth is light when compared with wood, and comes in a lot more available colors than either wood or metal. In addition to all those things it is far cheaper than either alternative.

As you can see there are some things for you to consider before purchasing a portable toddler bed. Consider your options and then make the purchase that makes the most sense for you.
