Zootalaws's Profile

As a grandparent that lives a couple of continents away from my children, I made a toddler bed for my grand-daughter's visit.

It is small enough to keep in Mummy's room so she won't feel alone, it was one of my first furniture projects and it was something that can be useful in years to come (assuming regular fecundity with my three children!).

I like the idea of a toddler bed, even though we didn't have one for any of our children, but more from a 'granddad project' perspective.

As to cost, it came to about $70, uses a cot mattress (which we bought not having any to hand) and my wife made the bedding as her contribution.

If there were such things 25 years ago, it would have been a nice transition and may have saved a few nights of broken sleep/tears.
