Making the move to a toddler bed? 🛏️✨
Before giving your little one the freedom to get in and out of bed, take a few minutes to make their entire room as safe as possible.
Here are a few things to check:
✔️ Add an extra bed rail if needed to prevent falls
✔️ Cover all accessible power outlets
✔️ Secure or remove any cords and wires within reach
✔️ Anchor dressers, bookshelves and other furniture to the wall
✔️ Keep blind/curtain cords completely out of reach
✔️ Make sure windows are locked and secured
✔️ Remove anything small or unsafe that your toddler could pull down or put in their mouth
✔️ Consider a childproof door handle/lock so your toddler can’t wander around the house unsupervised overnight
✔️ Keep medications, toiletries and other hazardous items completely out of reach
And remember: once they’re in a toddler bed, think beyond the crib. Your child now has access to the whole room — and potentially the rest of the house!
The goal isn’t to make the room boring… it’s to create a safe space where your toddler can explore their new independence. 🤍
