D.I.Y Modern Wood Jeep Car Floor Bed

I am a huge fan of montessori floor beds and now that it is time to swap our twin boys to their toddler beds, we just had to make some DIY toddler floor beds of our own! I worked closely with Ramos Rustics to create this jeep car floor bed for our twin boys and let me tell you, they are some cute floor beds!

Making the Crib to Floor Bed Swap

It is hard to believe that the time has come to transfer my twin boys out of their cribs. It feels like they were just born yesterday! But atlas, they are 2.5 years old and more than ready for some freedom. I searched long and hard for a modern wood jeep car floor bed for them but came up short with every search. In true Noelle fashion I decided to create it myself (with the help of an amazing local woodworker!) The best part is I am sharing the DIY with you! 

 

How To Know When It Is Time To Transition To Toddler Bed

Here are a few signs to know it’s time to transfer your toddler from crib to toddler bed and also a few simple nudges as well: 

  • Your child climbs out of the crib: This is one I never experienced but I have to put it first simply for safety! If a child is crawling out it is time to switch for safety reasons. 
  • You Want A Montessori Inspired Bedroom: This is usually my main reason for switching out of a crib to a floor bed. You can learn ALL about Montessori Floor Beds in a few previous posts of mine, as I am very passionate about the topic:
  • Waking up and playing quietly: This was a huge sign for our twins! They would wake up and play with each other through the cribs quietly. They would only fuss when they dropped something and couldn’t get it back. This was a huge sign that they could handle some independence! 
  • Sleeping Routinely: If your toddler is on a sleep schedule that they do really well with, they are likely to transition easier after the age of 2. Make sure you create a baby proof environment and the switch will come naturally!

My twin boys are so obsessed with cars so when it came time to switch them from their cribs I knew I wanted to find them a car bed. All the car beds I found were just not the look I was going for. I wanted something clean and sleek for their room. After searching for a modern wood car bed and coming up short I decided to design one myself! I knew I wanted something that would go with their current ‘Beach Themed Nursery’ but that also resembled the same design as my first creation, my DIY House Frame Floor bed .

With that in mind, I drew my idea down and shared it with a local woodworker, Ramos Rustics, who helped bring my idea to life! He was so amazing to work with and took all my drawings and made them into the exact picture I had in my head! That is a skill not many have. I would encourage any local people to the Tampa Area to give him a shout if you’d like this bed without the DIY part! Or really any idea you have in your head!

What makes these jeep car floor beds unique?

Not only are they modern (and totally customizable when it comes to color) but they are also still floor beds. Floor beds for toddlers is a really great way to transition as it gives them an inviting space to develop proper sleep habits from an early age. They can move freely from their bed and listen to their body for sleep ques which benefits their long term relationship with sleep!

    Hey do you guys just sell the beds instead of the plan ?

    • ohhappyplay March 29, 2021 at 6:59 am

      Working on that! Not yet!

  • Carly Turner March 26, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    Hi Noelle! Are the plans for a crib-sized bed? I just would like to know before I purchase.

    • ohhappyplay March 29, 2021 at 6:58 am

      Hi! This is for twin beds 🙂

  • Roxy April 6, 2021 at 3:31 pm

    Hi Noelle! Can you tell me what does the plan include? Does it have a list of material needed, equipment? Can the dimensions of the bed be slightly changed according to mattress dimensions available in my country?

    • ohhappyplay April 13, 2021 at 7:06 am

      It lists out the material and basic steps to recreate!

  • Adriana May 30, 2021 at 7:01 am

    Do you have an average cost to recreate the bed plan? I’d like to know if they’re in my budget for purchasing the plans.

    Thanks!

      Hello! Unfortunately right now the cost of wood has gone up tremendously and I am not sure what the cost for the materials are at this exact moment.

  • Lindsey June 13, 2022 at 8:51 am

    Hey what mattress did you get them for this transition?

    • ohhappyplay June 27, 2022 at 7:12 pm

      We use the Nook mattresses!

  • Hien June 17, 2022 at 2:32 pm

    Hi Noelle, what kind of mattress do you have for this bed there? Thanks

    • ohhappyplay June 27, 2022 at 7:12 pm
