The IKEA KURA cot is suitable for children from around 2 years of age - then you can set it up in the low floor version. Here, your child sleeps safely at mattress height and there is even room for you to read or cuddle. As soon as your child is older and wants a bunk bed, you can easily convert the IKEA KURA cot into a bunk bed.
