ok need advice from the BTDT moms on big kid beds and rooms
We've assembled a twin bed for Ellie who's 28 mos but I have Q's.
What did you do to prevent wetness (rubber sheet, mattress protector, etc.)? and where did you buy the twin size. I feel like BRU might only have them for crib size or toddler bed but not twin.
Also did/do you have curtains in their room? I have curtains but I think I may shorten them to valances b/c I'm concerned safety wise that she's going to want to play with them and/or tug on them, etc. Just curious what others did.
Thanks!

Re: ok need advice from the BTDT moms on big kid beds and rooms
I bought a waterproof mattress protector from Kohls... Its not fitted though, it lays like a flat sheet.
I have vertical blinds in RJ's room with a valence, they've always been there and he doesn't touch them.

Thanks! Can anyone share where they bought their mattress protector. We're not in Kohls very often. Did anyone get one at BRU? or TRU?

QVC.com makes a nice soft fitted waterproof mattress protector. Item number H129775. It doesn't feel like plastic and doesn't sound like plastic.
I don't think you will find anything in BRU or TRU since they don't carry twin size bedding there.

Re: ok need advice from the BTDT moms on big kid beds and rooms
i have a waterproof cover on our mattress because DD likes to nap in our bed and sometimes leaks through her diaper

We bought ours from Sleepy's where we bought his bed. Don't know if they'd sell you one without selling you a bed.

That's what I was worried about. Thank you eveyrone for all the suggestions. BB&B is a good idea. Or QVC so I don't have to go out at all

Re: ok need advice from the BTDT moms on big kid beds and rooms
we bought Ella's mattress & mattress protector at JC Penney's. Bed Baath & Beyond and Linens & Things carry them.
We have blinds & valances in her room. I may still do curtains as well.

I have a water proof pad over ds's mattress I believe it was under $10 from target. As for Curtains/blinds we have those curtains that go up and down like blinds but are really thick, there is a long string but I usually just throw it over the rod so they can't reach it.

We have a waterproof mattress cover that we got from One Step Ahead.
Emily will have blinds and curtains over them. I am not really worried about he curtains since she has had them in her room since she was a baby.

Waterproof mattress cover from Target it was not expensive. Tip - Get 2 - you really need to hang them to dry.

Re: ok need advice from the BTDT moms on big kid beds and rooms
My dh brought a mattress protector home from Sleepy's (where he works). Jared's had a few accidents and it really works.
His curtains match his bedding and I got all that at Kohls.
