Home | Dash's Big Boy Bed with Nestig

A few months ago the time finally came for Dash to upgrade to a big boy bed. I was preparing myself for a hard transition of trying to get him to stay in his room at bedtime. I tried to make it exciting and fun for him, and surprisingly he was ALL about it and could hardly wait to sleep in a big bed like his sisters. I think part of the excitement for him was also that Penny was going to be his new roommate which I think made him feel even more like a big brother.

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect when Nestig reached out to me to share about their new line of cribs they recently launched. I was drawn in at the first sight of them with their simple yet stunning designs and wanted to know more. In our first conversation I told them that unfortunately I wasn’t in need of a crib at the moment and that’s when I found out the real magic of this company.

No need for a crib? No problem! These cribs aren’t just a one and done deal--try THREE in one! How many of you have used a bassinet...then transitioned to a crib….AND then had to go search for a toddler bed?! Lets just say I’ve gone through this a few times ;) Bring in Nestig and all of those problems are solved! No need to go searching for three different beds for your child's first 2 years of life--they’ve thought of that and have done it all for you!

(And see how pretty!)

So we chose to use the Mountain crib as the toddler bed for Dash. This one is my favorite of them all--although it was so hard to pick just one because I really do love all of their designs. Each crib can be used as a mini-crib (bassinet), full crib, or toddler bed, how cool is that!?!

When I first showed Dash his bed he couldn’t stop smiling and doing *what he thought* were cartwheels in the room out of excitement. It was a big moment for us both as I was holding back the mama tears thinking of him growing up so fast! What I love most about his bed is how they didn’t compromise on design when thinking about how it would transition to the toddler bed. I’ve seen many cribs that turn into beds and to be honest I’ve never loved any of them--they look to me like, well, still a crib. Nestig knew what they were doing when designing these and I think they had the “mama who cares about aesthetics” in mind! I also love how neutral it is and can fit well within pretty much any kind of room decor.

Our rooms are pretty small in our house too, so fitting a bed and a crib in one room was a bit of a puzzle. But this bed fits so well in there and still gives space for us to move around without feeling too cramped, plus it matched perfectly with the crib I already had for Penny and still compliments the “vintage sports” theme in their room so well.

So if you’re a new mama or looking for the perfect crib/bed to use for your little one this is it. I know we’ll be using it for many more years to come--and maybe even as a crib again someday ;) Thank you Nestig for gifting us with this incredible crib and making this mama heart happy. We really really love it.
