If you’re like me, moving your child from a crib to a toddler bed brings mixed emotions. It’s exciting to see your little one so happy about being in a “big kid” bed, and they look so darn cute sleeping in it! But it’s also a little sad because your baby is growing up, and will no longer be confined to the safety of their crib. Turning your nursery into a toddler friendly room is a transition you will eventually need to make, and getting a new bed is half the battle. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the convertible crib to toddler bed sets, because I think the “toddler bed” just looks like a crib with 1 less rail. And I’m not quite ready to put my 2-year old in a twin or queen-sized bed just yet. If you agree with me, then you have to check out these adorable toddler beds. They are a perfect size for your little, and oh so cute.
1. Jenny Lind Toddler Bed
The Jenny Lind style is classic and timeless. It’s characterized by the spindly-wood turnings adorning the head and footboard and is a perfect match for your toddler. This bed sits ultra low to the ground and will fit any style toddler room.
2. Tufted “Fainting” Couch Toddler Bed
Oh me, oh my, these beds are to die for! They are perfect for wee ones and are so unique. You won’t see one of these at Babies ‘R Us! The upholstered headboards are ideal for toddlers getting used to sleeping on their own (i.e. jumping on the bed) and you can personalize the design with whatever fabric you choose. Oh, did I forget to mention that’s because these are handmade!?

3. Pirate Ship Toddler Bed
Ahoy mateys! This bed tops the traditional boy race car bed by far. Your lil pirate not only has an awesome place to lay their head, but a ship’s wheel, built in night lights, hidden toy box and book shelf. Good luck getting your toddler to go to sleep!
4. Canopy Bed
This canopy is perfect for the minimalist family. It’s a basic bed with a pop of color, courtesy of the simple canopy. There are no ruffly canopies here! You can match with basically any bedding and your toddler will feel like they have their own space they can call their own.
5. Bulldozer Toddler Bed
Does your child LOVE trucks and all things construction related? Well then look no further because this is the bed for you (I mean, him or her). They will look forward to bed time all day long as relax in the comfort of their own bulldozer. The best news? It comes in yellow or PINK! That’s right, girls love bulldozers too!

6. Slide Bed
I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t want to slide sleep in this bed! It has two ideal qualities: fun AND function. This bed is definitely not for everyone, but if you have a responsible toddler than they will definitely get a kick out of this bed. It’s low enough to the ground to not be a true “loft” but tall enough to accommodate that awesome slide.
7. Princess Bed
No toddler bed list would be complete without a princess bed. You can send your very own princess royally off to dreamland every night! This bed is an adorable pink and topped with crowns for a complete princess look.
8. Boat Bed
Already have a nautical themed nursery? This boat bed will be the perfect addition! It gives the perfect amount of personality, without being overbearingly plastic or large. It’s low to the ground and comes with rails to keep your sailor from going overboard!
9. Rustic Toddler Bed
This toddler bed is a made to order bed that costs a pretty penny. Its contemporary design allows it to work with your existing nursery as an upgrade to your big kid room. The designer’s goal is to be as green as possible and use sustainable products in their designs. What do you think, would you pay over $1,000 for this bed?
10. Platform Bed
If you are looking for a Montessori style bed (basically a mattress on the floor), then look no further. This DIY toddler bed can be done for under $40 and is completely customizable. This is a simple design that maximizes the rest of the space in your toddlers room, because it doesn’t have a bulky bed frame!
