Hemnes day bed for a 2yo

[ladyruskin]

We are thinking of getting a hemnes day bed for our 2.5 as we think it will be a useful piece for when we have visitors and should also avoid the need to get a toddler bed. My main concern is that it is quite high. He's been sleeping in a cot bed without the side on for about 6 months now and rarely falls out and we would put a guard rail up but does anyone have any advice (cautionary or otherwise) re the purchase?

Thanks!

We did exactly that for my daughter at 2, with the ikea side rail and it was absolutely fine, she loved it!

My daughter has had a hemnes daybed since she moved out of a cot at about 2 and has been absolutely fine too. They are good beds. Hers is a hand me down from much older brother who has given it plenty of rough and tumble and it is still going strong. It hasn't been that great for visitors though as the foam mattresses are too thin to be comfortable and if you go for 2 normal thick mattresses it really would be very high...

Thanks for the tips.
