Professional toddler bed assembly - low beds built safely for the cot-to-bed transition. All rails fitted, bolts secured, ready for bedtime.
The Big Bed Transition
Moving from cot to bed is exciting. A properly assembled toddler bed makes the transition safe and successful - low enough that falls don't hurt, rails to prevent roll-outs.
💡 Pro tip: Position the bed against a wall on one side. One fewer direction they can roll out of means one fewer thing to worry about.

🔧 DIY Tips
Assembling a toddler bed yourself? Here's what helps:
🔧 What you'll need
- Allen keys (usually included)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Maybe a rubber mallet
- Space to lay out parts
📐 Assembly tips
- Sort all parts and hardware first
- Don't fully tighten bolts until all connected
- Check rails are the right way round
- Tighten all bolts at the end
- Test by pressing and shaking
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Missing parts (check before starting)
- Rails upside down
- Bolts not fully tightened
- Wrong screws in wrong holes
💡 Pro trick: Put the mattress in place and press down hard in the middle. If the bed creaks or moves, bolts need tightening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are toddler beds different from regular beds?
They're lower to the ground so falls aren't far, have side rails to prevent rolling out, and are sized for toddler mattresses. The transition step between cot and big bed.
Do toddler beds have side rails?
Most do - partial rails that keep them from rolling out but allow easy access. Some are removable. We'll fit everything included with the bed.
What age is a toddler bed for?
Usually 18 months to 3 or 4 years. When they're climbing out of the cot but before they're ready for a full single bed. Every child is different though.
Can I supply my own mattress?
Yes - toddler beds use standard toddler mattress sizes. Make sure the mattress matches the bed dimensions. Some beds come with mattresses, some don't.
