The Three Brands of Fire Truck Toddler Beds
December 10th, 2009
By Liz Benson
The fire truck toddler bed model has always been a popular choice among little boys. It spurs their imagination and provides a reason to leave the crib. So, if you have a boy who is making a transition to a bed, you can’t really go wrong if you settle for a fire truck toddler bed with its bright red color.
In the market today, there are three popular brands selling fire truck toddler beds. Each one is unique in its design and constructed with different materials. Depending on your budget and design preference, you should be able to pick one that suits your needs.
Step2 Fire Engine Toddler Bed
The first fire engine toddler bed model is by Step2. This model is very popular among parents and at Amazon, this item enjoys a 4.5-star rating. This is because most parents find the bed easy to assemble and sturdy. It is constructed using durable plastics and has a siren night light with an auto shut-off feature.
The Step2 fire engine toddler bed has a dashboard with molded-in details like a steering wheel and radio. To complete the look, stickers are provided to decorate the bed, making it less plain. Unlike other toddler beds, this model has a friendly look with big eyes in place of lamps at the front end. If you are not too fond of beds with clear-cut corners, then this bed should meet your needs because the edges are rounded.
Just Kids Stuff Fire Truck Toddler Bed
This model is a little expensive but it is solidly constructed using laminated and imported Baltic birch wood. If you are thinking of using the bed for more than one kid, the Just Kids Stuff fire truck toddler bed should be a safe bet.
However, this bed may not be as popular not only because it is relatively more expensive but the design is also not as attractive. It is very squarish in style, making it look very much like a box. But if quality is what you are after, then this model may be able to fulfill your needs.
Kidkraft Fire Truck Toddler Bed
Of the three, the Kidkraft fire truck toddler bed is the least expensive. Constructed of medium density fiberboard (MDF) materials, it has a storage compartment at the front end. The guard rails are designed as ladders, giving a fire truck look to the bed.
One advantage of this Kidkraft model is that you can buy matching bedroom furniture together with the bed to decorate your toddler’s room. For instance, you can have a clothes pole, step stool that doubles as a toy chest or little table and chairs to make the room just like a small fire station. If your aim is some fun and play, then the Kidkraft brand gives you that option.
Cost Of The Beds
If you are on a budget and can’t afford to spend too much, then you should look at the Kidkraft fire truck toddler bed. The average retail price for this model is about $130 but you can get it for less at times from some online stores. Comparatively, the other two models would cost you about $100 more.
Whether you should spend $100 more and consider the other two toddler bed models would depend on your preference over the type of materials used for the bed’s construction and of course, design attractiveness. Each of the beds has its own pros and cons and you will have to weigh them in accordance with your preference and situation when deciding on which to buy.
