We got this bed for our 16 month old son who tries to climb out of his crib.  He loves cars, so we thought it would be perfect.  It was really easy to put together (it took me around 30 minutes) and fit our crib mattress perfectly.  Our son was so so excited when he saw it.  He isn't sleeping in it yet though, change is hard and he still likes his crib.  But he does like to sit in it and play and read books.  I'm sure we'll get there.  I really like that the sides are raised the entire length of the bed, I'm not worried about him rolling out at all.  And it's low to the ground so he has no problems getting in and out.  I wish it had a board that coved the bottom though, we're planning on getting a piece of plywood to provide a flat support so that the infant side of his dual-sided mattress doesn't get compressed where the slats are. We'd like to be able to reuse that side for baby 2.
