My 2 year old son is a huge Thomas fan. I bought the bed topper so that my son could transition from the toddler bed to a twin bed. This topper made the transition fun and easy. My son loves his new bed. This topper is easy to set up although there are four little plastic rods that do not fit where the instructions say they should go. Other than that, this topper is great. I would recommend that if your child is transitioning from a toddler bed to a twin bed, make sure you have bed rails on both sides of the bed. My son fell between the topper and the bed.

This was a great birthday present. To use it, though, we had to take the bed all apart and get rid of the bed's original wooden headboard and footboard because the bed tent would not fit over those. So, now, we have the boxspring on the floor and mattress on top, with the Thomas bed tent surrounding that. We do have the bed next too the wall, so maybe that helps things to stand up properly.

It makes the bed nice and cozy, and our son just loves it so much. He always went to bed pretty well, but now he can't wait to get into bed and go to sleep.

I was afraid it would be difficult to change the sheets and even make the bed, but it is not that more trouble to do it with the bed tent in place.

We think this was a great purchase and highly recommend it to parents who are willing to change your bed's setup to use it.

This bed topper springs right open and is very easy to set-up. It sits right over the bed, and there is a tunnel opening in the back that the child can crawl through to enter the bed area. The problem I have is that my son's bed is a toddler bed, so it doesn't fit as well as it would if it was a twin size bed. My son sometimes falls trying to climb over the site of the tent to get to his bed because there is a big space between the two. Therefore, it works with a toddler bed, but I would recommend it more so for a twin size bed. It does stand alone as a play area, and I'm pretty sure a tunnel could be connected to the opening in the back to make a playland.
Anyway, my son absolutely loves this and I would recommend it for anyone who has a Thomas and Friend's fan in the house.
