great bed |

Awesome looking bed. I ordered low profile box springs and a mattress, and it was golden. My kid has been sleeping in his own bed since we bought it. |

I bought this bed for my 3 years old son because his favorite toys are cars and he loves it, he plays with it during the day and sleep on it at night. |

4 year old loves it |

It was exciting for my 4 year old to help me assemble it. It took me about 45 minutes to put it together. The stickers took a bit of concentration but in the end it turned out to be good. The matress fits well. The only thing I wish was better controlled was the height. I put the wooden bars at the bottom most slot, but with box spring and mattress there isn't a lot of height left at the side to stop kids from tipping over. If you use the box spring, I don't recommend for younger kids who move a lot during sleep. Overall, my son loves it and it's worth it. Now I need to do the mural in his room and complete it :) |

Finally a full night's sleep for our 2 year old. |
We bought the Little Tikes Lightning McQueen twin bed for our youngest, a boy of 2 years old. It happened on a bit of a lark.
We noticed that, while he still fit in his toddler bed, he was happier in a regular adult size bed (we spent several weeks bouncing between Disney hotels and other SoCal haunts this summer).
We started looking for a Costco bed set or something that would be durable and accomodate his need for little bed rails as well. Simultaneously, he watched the movie "Cars" every day.
While browsing for ideas, I found this crazy looking bed. I discussed it with my wife and then checked for several days to see where I could get one.
I found no stores that stocked them, so checked prices and shipping for several days. In the end, buying from Americancivilwar.com wound up the second lowest overall (something just under $[...] including shipping), I ordered from them for the peace of mind.
Upon arrival, our son was climbing on the box and trying to sleep in it before it was assembled. Overall assembly took less than an hour (although we have not, as of yet, applied the stickers). Stickers or no, he does not care.
It is sturdy and durable, and ever provides a reason to climb into bed. My wife has been getting more sleep since the purchase.
On a related note, I wanted to complete the garage feel for the room, so I went to Sears and purchased two rollaway toolboxes (four drawer models)to replace his dresser and a shop stool to replace the glider/rocker.
The room has become the talk of the neighborhood kids and our friends from church. Best of all, when he gets bigger, I get two more tool chests for the garage.
We could not have found a better solution. The complete room cost under $[...] and could probably survive being dropped from 20,000 feet (our son is kinda rough on things).
The bed has two height levels and can be used without a boxspring. I cut a Sheet of 3/4 plywood to size for the mattress to sit on. This yields about 4-8 inches of car-shaped don't-fall-out-of-bed encouragement.
This is a great great product for young boys and other fans of the "Cars" movie.

Best Bed in the world !!!!! |

Our son absolutely would NOT sleep in his own bed, until we received our McQueen bed. It's pricey, but sooooooooo worth it!!! Recommendation, if you're purchasing a new mattress and box spring, make sure that the mattress is NOT a "plush" or "pillowtop". We bought a brand new mattress at Sams and they had a plush version and a 'cheaper' model. We liked the plush version, but realized it was probably too tall to fit in the bed. Sure enough, the cheaper mattress fits better and our 3 year doesn't weigh enough to need a more expensive mattress. The bed itself is super easy to put together, just make sure you space the slats out far enough to support weight on all areas of the bed, so no tipping happens. The decals were easy for me. There's a LOT of stickers and you just have to really focus on where they should go. It only took about 30 minutes to put them all on. I recommend this bed for ANY parents having trouble getting their little ones to sleep alone! They fit IN the bed, not ON the bed, so they feel more secure!!! Best thing we've ever bought for him!!
