FOR TODDLER
(18 Months – 3 YEARS OLD)
1. Best Bed Guard
Safest Start Bed Guard, $72, Mothercare
This basic bed guard will stop your toddler from rolling out of bed and spending the night on the floor. It’s easy to assemble and it’s extendable so that it fits to the side of any bed.
2. Best Duvet and Pillow Case Set
Duvet and pillow case set, $250, Numero 74 at Cuckoo
The super soft cotton and chic design were a huge hit with the judges. They also loved the fact that they came with pretty tie closures instead of press studs or buttons.
3. Best Blanket
Summer Blanket, $125, Numero 74 at Cuckoo
Not only did our panel of judges love the array of beautiful colours in the collection, they were pleased to find out that the blanket was super soft and light as well.
4. Best Waterproof Sheet
Brolly Sheets, from $59.90, Brolly Sheets at SMT Distributors
No nonsense sheets that are practical for bedwetters, this reusable cotton sheet with a PVC backing can be laid across the centre of the bed for easy removal: You don’t need to strip the whole bed when junior has been caught out. No wonder it’s sold more than one million pieces worldwide.
5. Best Toddler Pillow
ClevaFoam Toddler Pillow, $49.90, Clevamama at Global Outsource
Our judges loved the size and height of this memory foam pillow that offers toddlers the perfect support. It’s hypoallergenic too.
6. Best Cot Set Covers

Perfect for tots making the transition to the big bed, this comes with a pillowcase that is secured to the bottom sheet and side zips to help prevent accidents.
