When we first got our son his “big boy bed”, it was great. He enjoyed the fact that he had moved away from his cot and at first everything was great. It was soon after he moved beds was when the new baby was born. The problem started with our son developing a lot of separation anxiety and a degree of jealousy.

Our son was trying to always get into our bed and this he became more and more aggresive. In the end he totally rejected sleeping in his own bed. We have been struggling for nearly 2 years, and I honestly don’t know understand why I accepted it.

The problem is that my son is autistic, and due to his condition I give in to him a lot more than I should. I know its not the best thing to do, but I find it so hard to be strong when he breaks down.

We knew as parents that we could not let him sleep with us and set out a plan to get him back in his room:

We tried: improving his bed room, increased routine at night… the whole schpang but nothing worked until we came across the Little Tikes Race Car Twin Bed.

Basic Information: Little Tikes Bed range

• Race Car Twin Bed

Cost = around $399 but you should be able to get it cheaper if you Click Here.

This is the most luxurious version of the Little Tikes toy bed and is slighty larger than the normal sports car bed. It has a storage area at the front of the bed which can be a great help if used in a small room. My kids love to put their absolute favourite toys in there at night.

• Sports Car Twin Bed

Cost = around $299 but again Amazon usually has this on deal if you Click Here.

This bed is very similar to the Race car but lacks the storage but it generally is at least $100 cheaper. This bed comes in a number of colours, Red, blue, white, black and yellow as well as a few “special” colours.

• Roadster Toddler Bed

Cost around $149 but again it might be possible to get this cheaper from Here. This bed is made for toddlers and is a lot smaller than the other two. It comes in one colour blue!
