3.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy, hard to put together but made my daughter happy, February 6, 2011

This review is from: Dora the Explorer Toddler Bed (Toy)

After reading the many reviews on toddler beds, my husband and I went to Rip off R'US to purchase this product (because we had a gift card, otherwise I wouldn't shop there. Their prices are high and their free shipping isn't free, but I digress).

Most of the reviews of this product are spot on. The product is:

1. Hard to assemble. I was tempted to call my friends husband --who is a mechanic-- to help us put it together.
2. It is poor quality. A Coleman cot has a better, more durable frame.
3. The plastic headboard and foot board are cheaply made.
4. We had a hard time getting the crib bed into the frame.
5. It is overpriced for the quality. $39.99 would have been a fairer price.

However, my daughter was so excited to have a Dora bed. She ran over to it, said "I love it," hugged her Daddy and said I love you. She's also been showing to everyone who is coming over for SuperBowl, showing it to them and saying "Tada."

If you are going to buy this bed --because your child is ready for a bed, it is Dora and they will love it -- then just beware it is hard to put together and not very well made.

Also, buy it from Amazon. It is the best price with free shipping.

If we had more money, I would've bought a Little Tikes or KidKraft bed. They are much better quality and Made in the USA.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much Loved and Sturdy, December 5, 2009

I love this Dora bed, we didn't get the one with the canopy (I knew that would be trouble with my crazy 1 1/2yo child). We picked the bed up at toys r us (or babies r us...) and it wasn't hard hard at all to put together. The most difficult part to put on was one of the bed guards on the side to prevent child from falling out, as it took my strong husband and me pushing it and straining to get the stupid thing to attach in the right stop. Once it was there, it was very sturdy though.

I love that the bed is close enough to the ground that when she does roll out (she is all over the place when she sleeps and she'll scoot out of the bottom) she falls and doesn't even wake up because it's not far enough to hurt. I just pick her back up and lay her back down and she stays asleep the entire time. This doesn't happen more then what's expected of a young child sleeping on an open bed. It wouldn't be enough to make me change my mind on this.

One thing I don't really care for is the open slots on the headboard. It's there for looks, I think, but her binky falls back there and she loses them under the bed, so I have to fish them out and search there often if she wakes up and can't find it and gets upset at her loss of it. The other down part was the first month it was difficult to get her to actually stop staring at the Dora sticker on the headboard and saying "Dora" over and over while pointing at it and making squeaking sounds while she rubbed her finger down it long enough to actually fall asleep. I did regret buying her favorite cartoon a few nights because of this issue, but she's moved past it and sleeps in it without distraction now.

I've actually laid in this bed for short amounts of time, and have sat on the bed while getting her to sleep plenty without any issues (I'm currently pregnant and 150lbs) and my husband has also sat at the end without any issues except the baby mattress coming up at one end for a second (he's around 180ish lbs) so I don't doubt the sturdiness of this bed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk, August 20, 2011

This review is from: Dora the Explorer Toddler Bed (Toy)

The box said easier assembly- I would hate to see the first edition. The holes were off center and hard to line up. After several attempts I finally got the bed together, only to have the side rails fall off after 2 weeks. Piece of junk and waste of money. I gave it 2 stars because my daughter likes it and will sleep in it and the stickers are cute. Now I have to go and buy side rails so it doesn't become a death trap. Will never buy a Delta product again. So angry I want to Twitter about it or write the CEO about lack of quality control!
