What kinds of toddler and twin bed prices are parents willing to pay? We have a custom kids bed-making business, and this year is difficult on sales. I'm trying to get our prices low enough to be affordable for the average middle class family but high enough to still earn a living. My question is to parents: What prices would you think are reasonable for a toddler or twin wooden bed that is custom-made how you like it? Is there a threshold which you would not exceed for a toddler bed shaped like an airplane or car, or a twin? Thanks. Some input from people going through the economic downturn will really help.

What happens when a toddler transitions from a crib to a toddler bed? We have a toddler bed all ready for him, it's in storage. It has railings built in all around the whole thing (as it is meant to be a top bunk bed). Will he get up in the middle of the night and play with his toys and go lay back down in his bed? Will he hurt himself trying to get out of bed since he will have to climb over the railings? Sometimes he will wake up at like 5am, talk and talk, then fall back asleep so I'm curious.

What are the main characteristics of a toddler boy? For example, I have a toddler boy that is about to turn two in less that two weeks. He is very aggressive, macho.

I guess I am concerned that I have not nurtured him enough.

How did your toddler do with teething during the canines? The four fang teeth in the front, the last of the teeth to come in before the 2 year molars? Bradley is 17 months old and the poor thing is getting in all 4 canines at the same time! He hasn't slept a good night's sleep in two weeks, he wakes up everday from his nap with a fever and drooling and he's is grinding his teeth constantly.

How long are babies in a toddler bed? I am considering purchasing a toddler size quilt. I realize I can use this in the crib and then use it in the toddler bed (when I transition from the crib to the bed). The crib converts into a toddler bed with the same size mattress.

I am trying to figure out how many years worth of use I will get out of this quilt before it is too small. The quilt would be too small for a twin bed but perfect for a toddler bed.

Toddler's white shirts always end up with yellow stains after being washed? I'm trying to figure out why my daughter's white shirts always end up being permanently stained yellow?? She hasn't spilled anything yellow on herself in particular? I wash my whites in bleach, I try to pre-soak, pre-stain...nothing I do works. Is it something else? Do they purposely make toddler clothes this way so you have to buy more? None of my own clothing or my fiance's clothing is stained this way so I know it's not my washer? Any ideas? I should clarify that I wash the whites with normal laundry detergent, but then add about 1/2 cup of bleach. And no, our own white shirts are not stained this way, even when they're in the exact same load.
