The main criticism of Montessori beds is that they are “boring” and too minimalist. Indeed, the classic version is a wooden frame under a mattress placed on the floor, allowing the child to easily use their sleeping area independently once they have learned to walk. However, with the introduction of the bed racing car design, this argument against Montessori beds as being overly minimalist no longer holds. This piece of furniture attracts at first glance and offers countless benefits.
Racing to the Sweetest Dreams
Bed racing car is a children's bed in the shape of a car, which retains the key aspects of a classic Montessori bed:
- Promotes independent use by the child. They can easily get in and out of bed whenever they want without needing help from parents.
- The frame is made entirely of natural alder wood and coated with water-based paints and non-toxic lacquer. This ensures the product's durability and safety for health.
- The item has small side rails to prevent accidental rolling out during sleep.
- The car shape with wheels instead of legs and a frame resembling a car body will appeal to every child.
Is It Just for Boys?
Actually, girls can also enjoy such beds. Parents often choose these car-shaped beds for their daughters, not just their sons. If the product fits perfectly into the room's interior and the child likes it, that's what matters most. Busywood has already taken care of the product's quality and safety.
Safety Aspects
Safety is a must when choosing a toddler's bed. Bed racing car is no exception:
- It is made from natural wood (alder), ensuring strength and durability.
- This item can withstand up to 120 kg, making it very reliable.
- Equipped with slats made of premium quality birch plywood, providing proper mattress support.
- The bed's surface is coated with hypoallergenic paints and lacquers, ensuring it does not have foreign odors and does not cause allergies. It meets international standards.
- All corners are rounded, and each model is equipped with small safety rails, which provide additional security while sleeping.
When to Transition to Such a Sleeping Place?
Transitioning to the racing car bed can be individual for each child. Usually, this happens between 6 months and a year when the child no longer fits in a regular crib. It can also happen after 1.5 years when the child has learned to walk and sit and can independently get in and out of bed without adult assistance.
Choosing the Right Option
The main rule is to consider how well it fits into the room in terms of size and overall design. Besides these factors, pay attention to the following aspects:
- The best option is natural wood, which can withstand many years of use, is significantly strong and does not emit toxic compounds during use. Equally important is the presence of a hypoallergenic coating on the product: water-based paints or hypoallergenic lacquer.
- Ensure the product has all the necessary safety features, including rounded corners and safety rails. The slat system supports the correct mattress position, promoting healthy sleep and proper posture development.
- To make the final choice and prefer one option over another, pay attention to user reviews. This will give you a complete picture of whether this particular model is worth buying.
A bed in the shape of a racing car is not just a bed; it's a place for sleep, play, and development for your child. Combining the classic Montessori approach with a modern car-shaped design makes this bed unique and attractive. The transition to such a bed, as a more adult option, is simpler because children are delighted with such a design and happily use their new sleeping area. So, if you plan to “move” your little one to a separate sleeping space and want this process to be as smooth as possible, car-shaped beds from Busywood are the optimal solution: beautiful, convenient, safe, and functional.
