Cheap P'kolino Toddler Bed and Chair - White


We bought this bed for our daughter, who was a little over 2 and ready to move out of her crib.

PROS:

- Attractive design: modern and fun but still kid-appropriate
- Solid construction: shake it and it doesn't move easily
- Decent price: not the cheapest bed out there, but far from the most expensive
- Easy to assemble: takes about an hour, all tools included, reasonably clear instructions
- Converts to a chair: we haven't done this yet, but it seems easy enough to do when the time is right, and it comes with the necessary cushions
- Rollout proof (absent lots of contortions, which our daughter sometimes does)

CONS:

- Not the most intuitive layout: because the sideboards are right in the middle of the bed, the spaces to crawl in and out are a little tight; it's not a big deal once the child gets used to it, but it's not obvious at first what the best way in/out is.
- Low headboard: as others have pointed out, it's pretty easy for little heads to get bonked on it when first getting used to the bed. We covered the headboard with a quilt and that solved the problem during the transition.

Overall, it's a solid and attractive bed. Just be careful of the headboard!Get more detail about P'kolino Toddler Bed and Chair - White.
