We are moving soon, and on the lookout for beds. My girls are going to be sharing a room. Right now the 7 month old is in a crib, but I am trying to figure out what to get my 4 year old, keeping in mind that the crib won't be in use forever. We have contemplated twin beds, captains beds, bunk beds, a loft bed that could eventually fit another full or twin bed underneath.
If your kids share a a room, or if you ever shared a room, what beds have you found to work out well?
My brothers did twin beds that were bunk beds orginally but could be taken apart. The older one got the top while younger one got bottom with rails put on.
We started with a Trundle bed but it didn't go over well-it wasn't convenient to pull out each night. Then we just did two toddler beds which they are currently in. We are looking into bunk beds for the younger two, eventually and a loft bed for the oldest to help give his room some more space.

My husband's younger brothers had bunk beds too. He thinks that is what we should do for the girls as well, but I worry about them not having a sense of their own "space" with bunkbeds. It would leave more floorspace open for playing though. I like the idea of being able to take them apart eventually if they want.

2 girls I watched had a bunk bed system and each bed was so different in the bedding and accessories. They even hung material (cloth) on the wall next to their bed for even more personality. Do they fight for space now?

How old are your younger two? Do they like the idea of bunk beds?

My youngest is a baby, so no, but I worry about the future when the younger one is toddler/preschool age and the older one is in elementary school.
