rachel placzekFirst to rec
“expensive but hear me out; my son’s crib was the kind that turned into a toddler bed with a rail. when we set it up, my husband and I were bummed to find that we couldn’t really snuggle him :( after months of rocking him to sleep, this was a great disappointment for all parties. so, I searched far and wide for a twin bed that could hold the weight of a kid and one (perhaps even two!) adults. the headboard and side supports are great for our nightly routine of reading books in bed and then snuggling up until he falls asleep. I really couldn’t find anything else like this and this was more than we wanted to spend, but it’s been worth it to have something that’s safe and comfy, and he csn use it for years than pass it on to our next hypothetical kid. I’ve unintentionally slept the whole night in here and it wasn’t the world’s best sleep but honestly not bad.
(disclaimer: usually I would only recommend something that’s been truly battle-tested but because this was the ONLY thing I could find that met all my criteria and we love it so immediately, I can’t gatekeep! will update the rec over time if I find something not to love about it)”
