Is this mattress good for a 2-4 year old? Thinking ahead once we convert to a toddler bed.

I think so. I have one for each of my kids, the oldest of which is now two. He has been using it since birth and I plan to continue using it in his toddler bed until he transitions out. After two years the mattress has held up beautifully, absolutely no sagging at all.

Yes we've used it from birth to almost 3. Our child is a bit below average weight but the matress has held up really well with no lumps or any problems since it doesn't have springs.

I think it would work fine for that age. My grandson is 2 and sleeps fine on it. He will do fine for the next few years on it since it is firm and supportive.

I think this mattress would be great for a 2-4 year old. It is not too soft or too firm. Both of my kids have this mattress and they will still be on it when I convert their cribs to toddler beds.

I honestly can't tell you that. However, the support for the mattress is very sturdy, framed and well braced. Unless you had a hefty 2 year old jumping up and down, I can't see that your baby won't be safe in this crib. It is very well made. I have no hesitation at all putting my one year old granddaughter in this crib......it is solidly constructed.

Just your regular crib mattress will do. It does convert to a toddler day bed but even the toddler beds use the same crib mattress. I just went to check the tag on the mattress and it says 27x51 inches. Enjoy.

We have a real twin mattress on it and my daughter is 12 and has no problems. It is a full-size twin bed, not a toddler bed. I anticipate it working for her even until she is an adult if she continues to like a pink bed.

I have only used this bed for a child old enough to be in a toddler bed. For younger kids, I recommend a pac n' play. They are made with a firmer mattress that are okay for small babies to sleep on. I would worry about a really small baby getting his face up against the bumper and not being able to breath well.

We have been using it for over a year for naps only. It has been great and I've never had any concerns that it was starting to show wear. It still looks new. I think the larger concern would be whether your two year old would be happy in a space the size of a portacrib (assuming you are intending this for a child birth to age two). The child who uses ours is very small (5th percentile height, not registering in a growth chart for weight). She's really comfortable in it.

Our 4 y.o. granddaughter has slept on it but don't think she's had any accidents. It's a great mattress, very comfy, hubby and I are pleased.

There are no set rules for flipping this mattress for a toddler. The infant side is the more firmer side which is recommended for infants. My granddaughter is 15months old now and weighs 22lbs and we haven't flipped it yet. There's not a huge difference from one side to the other. We will flip the mattress when granddaughter moves into a youth bed around age 2. Good Luck. By the way, this crib mattress has held up beautifully with no sags, tears etc. Very satisfied with the quality for the price. Good Luck

I personally think a 3-4 year old might be a little too small for this. My 16 year old grandsons, who are both @200 lb fit in it pretty well.

It certainly isn't as thick as a mattress and is probably as hard as I remember crib mattresses. I think it might be a neat "bed" for a toddler for nap time. Thickness is only about two inches.

A 2 year old is capable of sleeping in the convertible crib portion to a toddler bed. At age 2 of course he will be able to climb out of a crib placed at the lowest setting. Supervision of course is always important when dealing with toddlers.

Our 4-1/2 year old is small for her age and is just outgrowing this bike. We probably should have gone for a bigger size since we only bought it 6 months ago. I think it would be fine for a 2-1/2 year old.

I would say yes. My 4 year old twins sometimes sleep in it in their bedroom. If your kids move around a lot at night, it might be a problem, but otherwise I'd say they'll find it cozy and lots of fun.

Not necessarily,.. if the person sleeping on it is not very heavy. I bought a good quality mattress and it seems fine for my daughter who is 5 years old. A bigger person/heavier might need a box spring. Hope this helps.

It's more suitable for a 2-3 year old. I bought it for my 2 year old who is now 4 and is too big for it now.

Absolutely not. It's meant for a twin size mattress. It would be very dangerous for a toddler mattress. The child could get hurt.

Yes, I've been using it with my daughter and I just had her. And my son started using his at 7 months. But both my children have this mattress and I love it.
