Surely, the best gift for a child who is interested in cars will be another toy model of a luxury car. But the best surprise for him will not be a toy, but a real bed-car! This bed looks very bright and unusual. The advantages, features, types of models, and important selection criteria are discussed further in the article.
How not to get confused and make the right choice?
Manufacturers of children's furniture have done their best. Look at the provided photos of children's car beds, you will probably be able to choose the right option for your son.
However, small lady cars will not be left out either. The designers have developed and brought to life a line of beautiful cribs in the shape of women's cars.
Feasibility of purchase
Today, a bed-car is no longer a wonder for anyone. Each parent, if desired, can purchase a suitable model of a children's bed with a themed design, be it a Ferrari, a boat or a train. They are all quite bright, so parents think about how to do the right thing. On the one hand, I want to please my beloved child with a gorgeous gift, on the other hand, I want to do no harm, because such colorfulness excites the imagination, which is why the baby may not sleep.
However, not everything is so simple. It all depends on how correctly you approach the design of the room itself. So, a calm color of the walls, bed linen in cold or pastel colors will balance the expressiveness of such an unusual piece of furniture.
There is also no need to worry about the safety of bright paint in terms of its composition. Most often, such models are made from laminated chipboard. The thickness of the lamination layer is identical to that used for a cabinet or chest of drawers. According to statistics, up to 90% of available children's furniture is made from laminated chipboard. But at the same time, the composition of the chipboard is very important; the optimal option would be the one with the E1 mark. This means that the furniture is environmentally friendly, so it can be used in a child’s room.For the little ones - simplified styling
Such cribs are bought for babies when the playpen becomes too small for them.
- Simple design. At this age, children do not require realistic performance. They are quite happy with the superficial resemblance to a car. All elements are drawn or applied to the sides using photo printing.
- No small removable parts. After all, everyone is well aware of the unique ability of babies to unscrew and pull into their mouths everything that can rotate.
- The raised sides above the mattress prevent the baby from falling during sleep.
- The lighting under the fenders of the car does a great job as a night light.
Design of children's rooms for a boy with a sports corner
A sports corner is relevant in any children's room, but especially for a boy. Many parents give up the idea of organizing a corner in their child’s room due to insufficient space or the fact that these equipment “do not fit” into the interior. Using the example of apartment design projects from the portfolio of the Fundament Group of Companies, we will make sure that a sports corner with proper planning will not take up extra space, and can even decorate the interior of a nursery.

The small area of a children's room is not a reason to deprive the interior of its functionality. The sports corner is located in a niche formed between two spacious shelving, and the wall in this area has been turned into a slate and magnetic board, which will be appreciated by the inquisitive young owner of the room.

If a boy is interested in adventures and knightly deeds, in his room you can reproduce the environment that he will like. A chandelier from a medieval castle, a colorful panel with a romantic landscape will awaken a child’s fantasy and imagination. But what kind of knight can do without good physical training? A sports corner in green tones, equipped at the entrance, will help with this.

If the children's room has a balcony or loggia, then this space can be effectively used by equipping a mini-sports corner and play area. Bright and light shades will visually expand the area of the loggia, the width of which you can put a sofa - where you can sit down to relax or read a book with your baby.
Realistic likeness
At the age of 5-6 years, boys have favorite cartoons in which cars appear; they are well versed in existing brands and models of cars. Therefore, their requests for sleeping space are increasing.
- These beds are equipped with removable, rotating wheels.
- The headlights are not just painted on, but are made in the form of night lights. The backlight works in several modes, which makes little tomboys incredibly happy.
- Drawers under the bottom of the car serve as a place to store not only bedding, but also other boyish treasures.
- The side headboards of the bed, made of plastic that is safe for children's health, give the sleeping area the maximum resemblance to a real car.
Material
Children's beds should be made of safe, environmentally friendly materials. Often laminated chipboard, MDF or wood are used in their production. When applying bright images, the photo printing method is used.
To give greater realism, the models have plastic wheels. In many they can even spin, which makes children very happy. There are models with illuminated headlights, which is convenient for use instead of a night light to illuminate the room.
A plastic car is also safe if it is made of durable and fire-resistant material. Made from high-quality polymer, the machine bed resembles a beautiful toy.
Option for brothers
A bunk children's bed is an excellent option for two children living in the same room. This design allows you to free up some space in the room.
Free space is necessary for boys for outdoor games, because two brothers will always find something to do with themselves.
There are countless options:
- fire trucks;
- double-decker buses;
- locomotives;
- vans.
Color solution
There are no limits to the imagination of manufacturers. Car beds for girls are made in the form of copies of cars of famous brands, cartoon cars, which are presented in a wide color range. Popular are all shades of pink and red, which look great in combination with white. Find out your child's preferences. Consider the color of the wallpaper and carpeting. You don't have to follow stereotypes. A bed for a girl can be any color: from light yellow to dark lilac. The main thing is that it fits harmoniously into the surrounding environment.
Fancy and floral patterns are applied to the surface of the beds. You can see beautiful birds, animals, fairy-tale princesses and fairies, and your favorite cartoon characters. There is everything that girls like: hearts, stars, curls, butterflies, crowns.
Don't forget about the main purpose of the bed. Bright explosive colors, especially red and orange, have an exciting effect on the child's psyche. On the contrary, calm, pastel colors soothe and relieve stress from the past day. As a result, the child falls asleep faster.
Loft bed
A loft bed is an excellent option for school-age children. Such a children's bed machine fits harmoniously into the interior of the room. After all, the sleeping place and the place for lessons are made in the same color and stylistic range.
They are often equipped with:
- gymnastic walls;
- ropes;
- rope ladders.
Moreover, a sleeping place in the form of a car can be located both on the first and second floor.
Advantages of a children's car bed
First of all, a significant advantage of such furniture is the emotional component. After all, it’s a great idea to give your child his own fairy-tale world, where he, like a cartoon character, will fantasize, daydream and come up with scenarios. Other important advantages include the following:
Functionality. Such beds are very comfortable, equipped with sides; the front part of some models can serve as a table or shelf. There are designs with drawers, an extra bed, and also lighting, which is convenient to use as a night light.
Safety. The presence of sides, rounded surfaces, and the absence of small parts ensures complete safety in the crib. Originality. Such furniture will make the children's room stylish, impressive and unusual.
Large selection of designs and models. Thematic design options for every taste and color: police cars, Cars, Ferraris, Mercedes, Audis, jeeps, school buses - every growing racer can choose the model he likes best.
Who said car beds are only for boys? Advanced manufacturers also took care of the female half of humanity and produced cute cars for little princesses.
In the end, the likelihood that it will be easier to put the child to bed increases significantly, because he will have a rest in a real car!What to look for when purchasing?
Such beds have far from affordable prices, so they are bought not for 2-3 years, but for a much longer period.
Any of the models provided is intended for children under 15 years of age. The width of the bed varies from 90 to 120 cm, and the length from 150 to 220 cm. The dimensions of the bed are quite suitable even for a comfortable sleep for an adult.
The only difficulty is that a boy of 5 and a teenager of 15 have completely different taste preferences. Therefore, when purchasing a bed in the form of a car for your child, take into account this piquant feature.
Please note that not all children's car beds come with a mattress. This presents an additional difficulty, because it is not always possible to choose a mattress that is suitable in design and color in a short time.
The permissible load also plays an important role. The main mistake that most parents make when purchasing is not focusing on this parameter.

Not a single child will simply sleep on the bed; each of them will consider it his duty to jump, tumble and play around. Budget options are unlikely to be able to cope with such tricks.
The weight of the bed plays a huge role. The greater the mass, the better and more durable the product.
Children's room design ideas for a boy. Photos of interiors
In a children's room, it is important that the interior is not only beautiful, but also contributes to the harmonious development of the child. At the same time, the room should not resemble a “classroom”: nevertheless, first of all, it is a space for relaxation, but also a personal space, so your baby’s personality must be present in it.
Bed shaped like a racing car

Many boys are interested in cars, trains and motorcycles - why not please your baby by turning a boring bed into a racing car? A panel on the wall with your favorite cartoon characters adds color to the already bright interior of the nursery.
Wall – slate and magnetic board

When a child is fascinated by “rock painting,” many parents have to think about new renovations in the children’s room. This can be avoided by prudently organizing a suitable place for the young artist’s creativity. For example, turn an entire wall into a slate and magnetic board, on which the child can not only draw, but also play with the magnetic alphabet and figures.
Mini-observatory for a young researcher

If a boy likes to look at the stars and asks “unchildish” questions about the structure of the universe, a telescope definitely needs to be installed in his room. Today there is a huge selection of telescopes for children and teenagers, and many are not inferior in quality to “real” modern devices.
Tent for games in the nursery

A tent is a perfect solution for a play area in a boy’s nursery: with the help of it and your imagination you can organize many exciting games. For example, imagine yourself as the Leader of the Redskins, who is playing a prank on his captors, or “go” on a multi-day hike.
Green carpet and starry sky above the bed

The children's room is divided into play and sleeping areas using colors and designs that evoke natural associations. “Obeying the laws of nature” - this could be the name of the design idea for this room. The starry sky in the sleeping area and a carpet reminiscent of a green lawn in the playroom are an excellent solution for visual zoning of the children’s space.
Alternative to store-bought beds
It is absolutely not necessary to purchase a store or factory model. You can make a baby bed machine with your own hands. In this case, there are absolutely no restrictions on the flight of fancy. Of course, you are unlikely to be able to make plastic sidewalls - wings, but applying photo printing to existing sidewall blanks is quite possible.
First, you will need to draw a detailed sketch of the future model with the placement of decorative elements (headlights, wheels, drawers). Next, you should detail the product indicating the exact dimensions and purchase the necessary materials, hardware and accessories.
After this, you should cut the sheets of lumber (apply an image of the parts in full size) and cut out the parts with an electric jigsaw, process them with a cutter to round off all protruding parts.

What material is the structure made of?
The following materials are used in the manufacture of car beds:
- Wood has a long service life and practicality. It is reliable and hypoallergenic. The negative point when choosing such options is the high price.
- Plastic is characterized by its popularity and versatility. The structure weighs little and is easy to transport and install. There is a wide variety of solutions. Plastic models should not be placed in rooms near heaters. If the bed overheats, it can release toxins that will lead to many pathologies.
- The bed is made from chipboard. The structure can be assembled and disassembled quickly. It weighs little and is affordable. If chipboard is exposed to moisture, the material swells, undergoes deformation, and toxins may be released.
- Hypoallergenic MDF. The material is characterized by ease of ignition and high construction cost.
The bed is upholstered with a jacquard type of fabric consisting of natural and synthetic fibers. When decorating, it is recommended to use metal and glass. You can decorate the structure with beautiful lighting.
How to choose the right mattress
Such furniture can provide a child with high comfort if you choose a high-quality mattress with an orthopedic effect. In the case of a mattress, everything is simple: its scale is selected to match the size of the bed itself.
Regarding the rigidity of the product, it is worth consulting with a qualified specialist. A mistake can cost your child's health.
If a teenager has problems with the spine, he will need reliable body support while sleeping. That is, a harder mattress with an orthopedic effect. If the baby is still too young, then excessive rigidity can only harm his musculoskeletal system.

Rules for choosing a mattress
The mattress is selected, first of all, based on medical prescriptions. If there are none, the model purchased for the bed should be as comfortable as possible for the child. Therefore, before making a final decision, we recommend letting your baby lie down on the mattress and lie on it for a few minutes to determine whether his sleep will be comfortable and safe.
The mattress must be comfortable for the child. It is especially important to carry out such procedures for models with built-in mattresses. When purchasing a mattress separately from the bed, it is important, after checking the comfort for the child, to make sure that its size is compatible with the sleeping area of the bed.
The size of the mattress should perfectly match the size of the bed.
Varieties
Car beds for children come in different varieties; stores offer a wide range. There are one- and two-tier models. The first option is standard, designed for one child. A bunk bed is designed for two boys, has a second floor and is usually styled to resemble a large vehicle such as a truck, fire truck or bus.
By design there are:
- Stylized bed-type cars. They follow the contours of the car and have characteristic elements that imitate car parts. Such models are suitable for small children, as they usually have side skirts.
- Copies. Such a car resembles a smaller car and has an identical exterior, although there are oversized models of almost real size, suitable for a spacious house or apartment.
You can find models for boys and girls. Girly options have a more delicate design, characteristic shades (pink, lilac, red), rounded shapes and cute details and drawings: toys, hearts, bows, flowers, images of fairies and fairy-tale characters.
approximate cost
The prices for children's beds for boys on sale vary as widely as the beds themselves. First of all, the simpler the equipment, the lower the price.
As a rule, the lower limit starts at a level of 6-8 thousand rubles. For this price you can buy a machine with a sleeping area of 160*90 cm and a slatted bottom without a mattress.
The cost of such a machine starts from 6,000 rubles. If the question arises of purchasing a bunk bed, you need to have double or even triple the amount. The price for such beds often approaches the level of 20 thousand rubles.
The price of bunk beds can reach up to 20,000 rubles. The more decor used in equipping a car, the higher its price. For example, the presence of storage boxes adds about 3-4 thousand rubles to the cost, decorative lighting - another couple of thousand.
By following the recommendations given in the article, you can easily choose the most suitable children's bed for a boy.
Updating an old bed with your own hands
With his own hands, the boy’s dad can create an interesting decor and update the look of the car bed. To do this, use sheets of plywood or chipboard. On them, draw blanks of the required shapes that will cover the side parts of the frame from all sides: sides, headboard and front panel. Cut out the parts with a jigsaw, paint them in the desired color and draw the headlights, bumper and other details. All that remains is to secure the elements to the frame using self-tapping screws and a screwdriver.
Now you can choose a boy's car bed that is popular in 2022.
