 Well worth the money! March 23, 2008

You just can't go wrong with this bed for your little one! My 19-month old was already trying to climb out of his crib even with the mattress set at the lowest possible level. I knew it was time for a toddler bed at that point. Although a child can stay in a crib until he or she is 2 or so, the crib can also become dangerous for the active toddler who loves to climb and bounce all over. My concern with a toddler bed was that almost every one available still has the potential for the child to fall out of bed. The rails only go a short ways down the length of the bed on a typical toddler bed. With this Stock Car Bed, your little one is not going to fall out of bed due to how the sides are designed in the shape of a car. You rest easy and so does your little one!
When we brought this bed home and put it together, my 19-month old was delighted. His eyes lit up, he pointed to the bed, and he said, "Car!" Immediately he was ready to play on this bed. He didn't want to jump around like he did in the crib. He was content and happy to play on it -- and if he's happy and content, so am I! Naturally when you transition from a crib to a toddler bed, you will have to get them back in bed several times for a little while, but sending my little one back to bed has not been difficult. He loves this bed. Nap time is great, too, because he will even take himself to bed when he gets tired. He can easily climb into and out of the bed by himself.
The age recommendation for this bed is 2 and up, but it has been perfect for my 19-month old. It will use your standard crib-sized mattress, and then when you are ready for a twin size mattress, you simply change out the crib mattress for the twin size one. Thus, this is a bed that you can use for many years, and I anticipate that we will have a lot of years of use from this sturdy bed.
I have no complaints whatsover. Although it's rather pricey, for me, it's worth every bit that I paid for it. If you are interested in purchasing this bed, I recommend that you try to arrange to pick the bed up yourself rather than have it shipped. This is what I did, because shipping charges can be astronomical at over $200.
One recommendation I would make in using this bed with the crib mattress is to roll blankets up and place on the sides of the bed. That way, when your little one gets to the edge of this bed, he or she will not be on plastic, but a soft blanket. I found it very easy to roll up some blankets and set them in the sides.
It's a snap to change sheets on this bed, and you can use twin size comforters and blankets on the bed. I give this 5 stars -- it's a purchase I don't regret.

My son is 20 months old and has had no problem switching out of his crib and into this bed. I agree with other reviewers that the gaps around the crib size mattress do pose an issue. I bought a couple of foam pool noodles to fill in the space. Two noodles side by side fill the gap perfectly and the height of them is flush with the mattress. Now I don't need to worry about my son moving around and falling into those gaps and waking himself up. Other than that, this is a great bed and I highly recommend it (especially if your child loves cars!).
Best money we have spent!!! September 23, 2006
We agonized over what type of bed to put our son in when he turned 2. We finally decided on this bed because they were only on the market for 3 years and you couldn't find any for sale used. We figured that meant it was a long lasting product. Our son sleeps great in his bed. We just recently switched to a twin bed matress and it is great! What a fun and wonderful way to transition a little guy from a crib to a bed. All of our friends kids are a lot older than our son. They are jeleous at ages 8 - 10 that they don't have a car bed!! You can't beat the value!!!!
 He loves his race car bed! May 30, 2006

This is a great bed! It looks so cute in his new nascar themed room. He plays in it all day! I would not reccomend using a toddler/crib matress in this bed, because there is a "gutter" (or large gaps)on all sides if you do. I have found my son in these "gutters" a few times a night, one night his head was on the race track! I had to add rolled up blankets and pillows to fill the gaps. Also, when you put it together, for a toddler bed the plywood they supply you with isn't the correct size. At least, we couldn't figure out how it was supposed to work! We used some of the cardboard from the box to make it work! Other than that it is a great bed. Just plan on using a twin matress insted of the toddler, and you'll avoid these problems.
BEST BOY BED OUT THERE! May 5, 2006

We bought this bed for our son at Christmas (then 16 mos)and he loves it! He HATED his crib and slept with us for almost a year. We decided to get him a "big boy bed" even after cautions from the doctor. We knew he was ready. He slept in it the first night and hasn't been back to my bed since! We also purchased the tool chest dresser and did a whole NASCAR theme in his room. BE ON THE LOOKOUT- the matching toybox is scheduled to come out in July 06!!!!
