What to expect when you’re expecting: Cots and Toddler Beds

Here at Cuckooland, we talk an awful lot about kids’ beds and bedrooms; about how everything in our range is tailored to your children’s imaginations, and what some of the best ways are to spruce up their walls and floors. However, we realise that we’re leaving the mums-and-dads-to-be out of all the fun, and that’s simply not on! So we’re going to take a quick break from talking about the over-3s for a bit, and spread the love to the expecting parents; here’s a quick tour of some of our babies’ cots and toddlers’ bedroom furniture, so you know what to expect when you’re expecting!

Babies’ Cots

Preparing babies’ bedrooms for arrival is an exciting time; this is going to be the first place that your baby really comes to terms with itself – the first place where it’ll be left on its own to develop independently. As you can imagine, this is scary, not just for the baby, but for mum and dad, too! But don’t worry – our range of babies’ cots is here to make sure both baby and the parents get the good night’s sleep they deserve!

Toddler Beds

They don’t stay tiny forever… Before you know it, they’ll be too big for their cots, too old for their squishy, pastel-coloured furniture, and will be ready for their “big boy”/”big girl” beds. The transition from cot to bed can be a frustrating one (and we’re not just talking about the child!), but with the help of our quirky and unique range of toddler beds, bedtime in a “grown-up” bed becomes irresistible.

The Racecar Bed/The Fire Truck Bed

Classic toddlers’ bed and notorious palindrome, the racecar has been the centrepiece of playground hegemony since you and I were kids. We all used to know that one kid with the racecar bed, and he was always seemed cooler than the rest of us. Bestowing the racecar bed upon your child is the Reception Class equivalent of crowning him King of All Children. Oh, and not only that, it’ll also allow your little Lewis Hamilton’s imagination to run wild during playtime, as well as making bedtime more enticing. Seriously, nobody’s going to throw a tantrum getting into a racecar bed!

However! There could well be a pretender to the throne of the racecar bed, and that’s the fire truck toddler bed! Who’re cooler; F1 drivers or firefighters? Well that’s a debate for the playground, and you can guarantee that the result will be swayed by which of these beds each party spends the night in! The perfect sleeping quarters for our future heroes!

The Princess Bed

Of course, we can’t let boys have all the fun! Avoiding gendering too much, perhaps your little girl would love a racecar or fire engine bed – but for those of more common “princess” tendencies, the princess bed will fit in perfectly with the inevitable small city’s worth of princesses dollies that your little girl will undoubtedly accumulate throughout her early years! You could even avoid bedtime drama by tucking her dollies in with her!

However! There could well be a pretender to the throne of the racecar bed, and that’s the fire truck toddler bed! Who’re cooler; F1 drivers or firefighters? Well that’s a debate for the playground, and you can guarantee that the result will be swayed by which of these beds each party spends the night in! The perfect sleeping quarters for our future heroes!
