Delta Children Taylor Toddler Bed

Why We Like It

The Delta Children Taylor is the easiest toddler bed to assemble on this list and one of the most versatile in terms of color and theme selection. Safety certifications are comprehensive, guardrails are included on both sides, and the sub-$100 price makes it the strongest budget pick. The engineered wood is functional but not as durable as solid wood beds.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• JPMA certified and ASTM/CPSC compliant with tested guardrails on both sides for roll-out prevention
• Assembles in under 20 minutes with a simple tool and clearly illustrated instructions
• Available in 10 color options including themes like princess canopy and race car for personalization

Cons

• Engineered wood construction is not as robust as solid pine — avoid excessive jumping on the frame
• Some color variants include a canopy frame that adds assembly steps and reduces headroom

Score Breakdown

Toddler beds were evaluated on safety of the design (height, guardrails, and certifications), build quality and durability, ease of assembly, design appeal for toddlers, and overall value for a transitional purchase.
