Pint-Sized Pillows That Are Perfect For Your Toddler

Once your little one is ready to transition from a crib to a toddler bed or regular bed, it might just be the perfect time to introduce a pillow! The KeaBabies Toddler Pillow is the perfect way to introduce your little one to a pillow. Appropriately designed for optimum comfort and safety for your toddler, the KeaBabies pillow is an affordable, adorable option for your growing child!

Are pillows like the KeaBabies Toddler Pillow safe for use in a crib? 

No, pillows and other soft objects should not be used in an infant’s crib. The American Academy of Pediatrics warns against the use of any soft items such as blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals in an infant’s crib. A pillow can obstruct an infant’s airways and cause suffocation. 

However, when your child is ready to move from a crib to a toddler bed or a regular bed, he is likely ready to use a pillow and blanket for sleep. Most toddlers are ready for a pillow between 18 and 24 months of age, although pillows aren’t necessary for a comfortable night’s sleep. It might seem odd, but since little ones don’t use pillows regularly during infancy, they don’t know any differently and can sleep perfectly soundly without one! 

If your child seems to toss and turn at night and has a hard time getting comfortable, it’s probably a good time to introduce a pillow!

Size matters - but so do other factors. 

When shopping for a toddler pillow, parents should keep in mind several factors. First, they should consider the pillow’s size. It should be much smaller than a regular pillow, about 13-18 inches in length. You should also look for a good amount of support, but not something too firm. A child’s face can get buried in a pillow that is too fluffy. Parents should also consider the pillow’s filling, as little ones have very sensitive bodies! Loose fillings like pellets, buckwheat, and down, might cause allergic reactions or present choking hazards. Aim to find a pillow with a synthetic, hypoallergenic filling. 

The KeaBabies Toddler Pillow was designed with all of these factors in mind, which is why it has remained one of the most popular pillows for toddlers over the last several years! 

The pillow features: 

• An ergonomic design for maximum comfort
• 100% cotton pillowcase for easy washing
• Hypoallergenic fiber filling
• Small size to make it great for preschool, travel, and sleepovers
• Available in multiple prints to match any child’s personality
