I don't think so. Actually most of the nicer ones come apart, so you could just put together the bottom half like a twin bed and wait until he's older to give him the top bunk. Get one that the ladder comes off too.
Bunk Bed?

Hi there, my DS is 25 months now, and we are execting #2 in august (another little boy

. DS has co-slept with us up till now, but we would like to try and transition him into his own 'big boy bed' before little one #2 arrives.
As such, I've been planning on finding him a twin bed, but have recently decided that a better long-term investment would probably be bunk beds. *OUR* bed is currently just two old twin mattresses pushed together (which makes like, a king-size bed

. Our plan is thus to buy us a new mattress/bed and give DS the old twin mattress(es). Am I nutty to think about putting my 2 yr old DS in a bunk bed (on the bottom bunk, obviously)??

what we did was put a futon mattress on the floor for dd in her room (she was 23 mos when our ds was born) and my dh slept in there with her for a while.
eventually he came back to our bed. and shortly after dd wanted to come back into the family bed so we put a crib mattress on the floor next to our bed, which worked really well for a good long time.
now (mercifully!!) both of my kids sleep in their own beds - twin mattresses on the floor.
good luck with whatever you decide (and with your new little one)!!!

We have this bed, but without the bottom bed on it. DSD has been sleeping in the lofted part since she was almost 4 and we've had no problems. Once the new baby is ready for the crib (at least a year from now, I am guessing), we'll add the bottom bunk and move DS (who will be 3) into that.
