What age can a child use a single bed?

There is no specific age when a child should move to a single bed, it all depends on the child. Typically, most toddlers transition to a bed between 18 months and three years, however, it can differ. You’ll likely be able to tell when your child is ready for a single bed as they will start climbing out of their cot. When you do transition your child to a kid’s single bed be sure to put a guard rail on their bed to prevent them from rolling out of bed. They’ll be used to the side of the cot being there, or even a low style bed that sits on the floor so there is no danger of falling out of bed.
