My toddler is going to be 2 at around the time that baby number 2 comes along. Although her cot becomes a cot bed I would rather leave that for the new baby than have to buy another cot.
The room she is going into is fairly large and I currently use it as a spare room. It has a Queen size bed in it. I was thinking of getting rid of this and buying her a single bed that has another pull out bed underneath. That way if a couple come to stay she can go into our small spare room temporariliy which will have a single bed, and we would still be able to have a double if necessary.
However, it then occurred to me that I would be selling a perfectly good double bed for much less than I paid for it and buying a single bed with extra mattress which is actually really expensive. Is this madness and should I just keep the double bed we already have? This would save me a lot of money and I can't actually think of any reason why a toddler can't sleep in a double bed. I have just never heard of it before. Is there any particular reason? I could put guards on it to stop her falling out at first.
V interested to hear some opinions on this.
