Must-Have Accessories for Your Child’s Car Bed Setup

A race car bed is more than just a cool place to sleep. For a child, it’s a ride to dreamland, a play zone, and a symbol of independence. But the real magic happens when you complete the setup with the right accessories. Themed bedding, playful lighting, and clever storage turn a standard room into a space that feels custom-built for your little driver.

If you’ve already invested in a race car bed or are planning to, here's how to elevate it into an experience your child will love and your home will appreciate.

7 Must-Have Accessories for Your Child’s Car Bed Setup

1. Bedding That Matches the Excitement

Your child’s race car bed sets the tone. Now let the bedding bring it to life. Bold, graphic bedding that features racing stripes, flames, or high-speed imagery adds instant flair. Look for comforters and sheets in deep reds, checkered flag patterns, or even custom pillowcases with car motifs. Not only does it complete the look, it also helps toddlers feel a stronger connection to their space — making bedtime a little easier on everyone.

At USCarBed, our bold color bedding sets are made for twin beds and designed to fit seamlessly into your car-themed setup. They're soft, durable, and machine washable because we know messes are part of the ride.

2. Wall Decals and Stickers That Pull the Room Together

Painting a room can be a big project. Decals? Not so much. Removable wall stickers with racetrack themes, traffic signs, trophies, or speedometers give your child’s room a custom look without the commitment. Plus, they’re fun to apply and change out as your child’s interests grow.

Our eco-friendly, PVC-free decal sets are parent-approved and renter-friendly  and they match our beds and accessories perfectly.

3. Themed Rugs and Floor Mats for Cozy, Safe Play

A soft rug underfoot doesn’t just tie the room together, it keeps little knees and feet comfortable during playtime. A race-themed rug, especially one shaped like a track or printed with car icons, invites kids to turn the floor into an adventure zone. It also adds texture, warmth, and sound-softening, something parents definitely notice during early mornings or late nights.

4. Nightlights That Double as Pit Stop Signals

For many toddlers, the dark can be intimidating. A soft nightlight adds comfort and safety while reinforcing the car theme. Look for LED lights shaped like headlights, dashboard gauges, or even steering wheels. Bonus if they change color or dim automatically.

This small detail often makes a big impact. It helps children wind down, and parents appreciate a peaceful bedtime routine.

5. Storage That Fits the Theme (and Keeps the Floor Clear)

A child’s room can go from tidy to chaos in under five minutes. The solution? Storage that kids actually want to use. Race car-themed dressers and drawers encourage them to put away toys and clothes because it feels like part of the game. From gas-pump shaped shelves to pit-crew-style organizers, themed furniture blends fun and function.

At USCarBed, our dressers and drawers are built to match our bed designs. They’re not only playful, they’re durable and easy to wipe clean, made for real family life.

6. Matching Accessories Like Remote Controls and LED Upgrades

Already have a car bed? Add-ons like spare remotes, light-up wheels, or sound kits can take it to the next level. These upgrades are great for birthdays, holidays, or just because. They also help keep your investment feeling fresh as your child grows. Plus, if something gets misplaced  as it inevitably does, having spare parts on hand saves time and hassle.

7. Finishing Touches That Reflect Your Child’s Style

No setup is complete without a few personal touches. Add framed photos of your child in a race car bed, hang medals from sports or school, or create a display shelf for toy cars. These elements turn the room into more than a themed space, they make it theirs.

If your child has a favorite color or character, incorporate it through throw pillows, curtains, or wall art. Even small adjustments can make a space feel more special.

Why Accessories Matter More Than You Think

The car bed might be the centerpiece, but the right accessories make it feel intentional and complete. They help your child fall in love with their room, which can:

• Encourage independent sleep

• Reduce nighttime anxiety

• Support creativity and imaginative play

• Teach responsibility through organized spaces

For parents, it also means fewer bedtime battles, less clutter, and a space that grows with their child.
