This bed is great for any kid and so far it has held up for over a year with no problems.  I think it has a pretty low weight limit on it but both my husband and myself had laid on it at different times with our daughter and have never had an issue.  The only thing I don't like about it is that the opening for the mattress is bigger than I would prefer.  We put a twin mattress on it and there is still a few inches of space that isn't filled up by the mattress.  We have that side along the wall, but it still bothers me.
