Toddler Bed Frames
Transitioning from a crib to a bed is a big step for a child, which is why Step 2 has created a variety of children’s bed frames to make that change a little easier. The Dream Castle Toddler Bed ($344.99) comes standard with a variety of useful features, including a headboard with twin towers that include built-in storage, a drawbridge table that flips over for use in or out of bed, protective side rails and an overhead nightlight with an automatic timer. The bed also includes the Step 2 Dream Castle Conversion Kit that turns the toddler bed into a twin.
The Snooze ‘n Cruise Toddler Bed ($257.99) is designed to look like a friendly car to make children feel safe. Both Step 2 toddler bed frames fit standard crib mattresses and bedding.
The Castle Tent Bed ($630) by PJ Kids is also for children who are ready to leave the crib and slide out of bed from their very own castle. Made entirely from canvas, it can be used as both a bed and a playhouse. The Loft Bed ($1,925) is solid wood and includes a vertical access ladder and safety rails.
Toy Boxes and Storage Racks
With a toy box or a storage rack to keep toys in, moms and dads won’t have to worry about stepping on their child’s playthings. The Limited Edition Toy Box by KidKraft ($199.90-$209.90) features safety hinges to protect children safe from slamming lids.

The 3 Twin Tray Storage Rack ($129) from the Children’s Factory (ToyDirectory) has a sturdy handle for easy carrying. Trays are tilted in multicolored racks so children can easily see what each contains. It also includes wall clamps to prevent racks from tipping over.
Rocking Chairs and Rockers
Though rocking chairs and rocking horses have been around for centuries, they haven´t lost their appeal for children. Made by Levels of Discovery (ToyDirectory) and winner of the "2003 JPMA Innovations Award," Rock-A-Buddies have taken rocking chairs to a new level. With baseballs and baseball bats in the design of the chair, the Home Run Rocker ($119.95) includes a 4” x 6” picture frame on the back of the chair, and a “home run derby” rolling ball game built into the arm rest.
Featuring an assortment of fun and exciting images, including Airplane, Train, Fire Truck, Carousel, Space Shuttle and Elephant, Kinder Play Specialty Rockers ($39.99) are sure to stimulate a child’s imagination. They feature all-wood construction and a non-toxic finish, and can be put together and taken apart without the use of tools or hardware.
