This bed isnt ideal as a transition bed for a toddler, which is exactly what we bought it for. The headboard has gaps just big enough for a small head to fit in. The base is 2 wider than the standard twin mattress size which isnt too bad, unless youre worried about your child rolling off and hitting their head on the rail on the way down. We had to add bumpers to address these two issues so we didnt worry so much about mishaps through the night.
Okay if your child is a little older.
