two trundle beds and a partridge in a pear tree

I need a wee bit of advice. Abigail’s crib is falling apart. Phil says it’s just loose, needs some glue or nails or something, but I say, it’s done. I say it’s a sign. Why not take this as an opportunity to transition to a toddler or twin bed with rails.

And that’s my question for you. Which would you do? Would you go out and purchase two toddler beds (which for those who don’t know are small beds with rails that still use a crib sized mattress), or would you skip that step and simply buy two twin beds with universal rails? While the twin beds will be more costly, we’re at least skipping a step. I feel like we should just go for the twin beds, but wanted to hear any advice you might have. Also, at what age do you think bunk beds can be appropriate? That is, what age would a child have to be in order to safely sleep on the top bunk?

I do wonder if come morning I’ll ever find them snuggled up together on the floor.
