Bed vs. Sleeper Sofa/Chair

[Ravenclaw]

Thanks everyone! I ended up ordering a twin mattress set. Like Luanne said, it will be used by DD in no time. While the flip flop sofa looks neat, for our purposes, we'd still have to get DD a bigger bed eventually anyways, so this will save us money in the long term. (That's how I explained it to DH anyways! He suggested just getting one of those call room super cheap & super crappy foam mattresses! Good thing he goes along with my decisions!)

That makes sense Alison. Since we have the crib/toddler bed already we want to use it for DD, and don't want to save it to use as a crib whenever we have another one since it's been recalled as a crib twice already. BTW, do you guys do AP?

I guess my thought would be, if you're going to be in the same place till she's over 4, she'll probably need a new bed eventually anyway, right?

I wouldn't say we practice AP in anything like a dogmatic way, we just do what works for us. But what works for us is pretty similar to the Sears Baby B's, so if there's a spectrum, we're closer to the crunchy/AP end of it.

Exactly. She'll probably transfer over to the twin bed sometime during our last year here.

RE: AP I'm the same way.
