Storkcraft Pasadena Toddler Bed with Guardrails vs Delta Children MySize Toddler Bed
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Toddler Beds: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Pasadena pairs built-in guardrails on both sides with a pine and engineered-wood frame and GREENGUARD Gold certification. If money is tight, the MySize gives you the same low, guardrailed layout plus JPMA certification for less.
Storkcraft Pasadena Toddler Bed with Guardrails
Buy itBuilt-in guardrails on both sides, GREENGUARD Gold certified, on a low, tidy frame that still looks like a grown-up bed.
- Built-in toddler guardrails on each side
- Low platform lets a toddler get in and out unassisted, and a short fall is a short fall
- Pine and engineered-wood frame, GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions
- Fits a standard crib mattress, so most families spend nothing extra on the sleep surface
- Costs more than the Delta MySize for what is still a simple frame
- Assembly is required, and hardware is worth re-tightening after the first week
- Rated for children under 50 lb, so it is a toddler-only bed
Delta Children MySize Toddler Bed
Buy itThe value benchmark: low height, dual guardrails, and both JPMA and GREENGUARD Gold certification.
- Low frame, which makes independent climb-in easy
- GREENGUARD Gold and JPMA certified, screened for over 10,000 chemicals and VOCs per the maker
- Two attached guardrails, the standard toddler layout
- Reuses a standard crib mattress, recommended for ages 15 months and up
- Plain styling is fine but unremarkable
- 50 lb limit means it is genuinely a toddler-only bed, not a stretch-to-five purchase
