Eldest (26 months) in Boori cotbed but new baby (3 months) will be moving into it soon as is a big baby!
So Need next bed for eldest not sure if any point in buying toddler bed? Should I just go stright to single bed? Any advice / experience / recommendations much appreciated!

We went straight to a single bed, not had a problem. Did use a bed guard though, to stop him rolling out.

Straight to single. Cot mattress on the floor in case they fall out Grin.

I think straight to a single bed now, you can get a guard rail to use for a bit

DD1 went straight to single bed at 25 months, had a rail for 4 months or so. Means there's space to lie alongside her reading bedtime stories!

Single. Toddler beds are just the same size as a cotbed. I wouldn't bother unless you're really pushed for space.

Definitely straight to single
