Little Tikes Race Car Bed

There comes a time in every child’s life when they must abandon the crib and graduate to a more mature, practical bed to meet the needs of their rapidly growing bodies. These toddlers beds can occasionally cause problems with the children not wanting to sleep in their room, and not being able to fall asleep if they are convinced to. This is where the elements of fun and creativity come into play. With recent successful movies such as Disney’s Cars, and Herbie: Fully Loaded, cars are increasingly growing in popularity with children, especially boys.
From this popularity has sprung an infatuation with race car beds. The Little Tikes race car bed is quite possibly the most popular car bed on the market today. Most parents make the switch to toddler beds when their child is around 20-26 months old. The Little Tikes race car bed (Little Tikes race car twin bed to be more specific) is the perfect transition from crib to bed.

It comes equipped with slightly raised sides to prevent an accidental fall. This car bed is also very accessible for a small child to climb in and out. The Little Tikes race car bed generally costs around $230-$240 at various stores.
Another extremely popular car bed is the Lightning McQueen bed (also a twin size), the main character in Cars. These race car beds are commonly reported to be extremely popular with people’s children, many times leaving the child in awe. This Cars bed is a great way to solve the child’s problem of wanting to sleeping with you, making the idea of sleeping on a Lightning McQueen bed seem irresistible, exciting, and fun. One reported problem with this bed, however, is the fact that the sides are not as raised as the Little Tikes race car bed, resulting in a greater chance of falling out of bed. This car bed had a price tag of about $300-$350.
In terms of customer reviews and satisfaction, the Lightning McQueen bed and the Little Tikes race car bed are dead even. Both car beds are great choices for your young boy when moving away from the crib, and both will excite and entice him. The Little Tikes sports car twin bed is the better choice if you are looking for a safe, economical bed for your toddler’s bedroom. The Lightning McQueen bed is appropriate if your child is familiar with the Cars movie (and even more appropriate if he is obsessed with the film), and you are willing to pay a little more for the “wow factor.”
