At what age did all your kid's change to a big kid bed? We never did a toddler bed with Tanner...right before his 2 year birthday he was in a twin bed and did great. Being Aiden is a much different child, he is still in his crib.

Zander was around 16 months when he started jumping, so i moved him and he did great. Zav was about 2, and he does great but still comes in my bed when he wakes up.

Kylie slept with us or on a mattress on the floor until age 3. Then she went straight to a big bed (full size) with side guards. She did perfectly fine - no problems. Her bed was even pretty high and needs a step to get down off of it and she did fine.
Megan was 3, I guess, when we moved her into a big bed and she had no problem. Come to think of it, I was wrong -- Kylie was 27-29 months when she went into her big bed because we had to have to the crib ready for Megan when she was born. I'd put some side rails on it if you think he needs him and put him in -- I think he'll do fine ![]() -------------------- ~*Karen*~

Will was about 2 when we changed his crib to the toddler bed. He just got to where he was trying to climb out of it. We had one side of the bed against the wall and put a guard rail on the other side. He did fine with it, but we did have a gate at his door in case he got up when we were asleep so he wouldn't be able to wander around the house. Luckily he only climbed over it 1 time, then seemed to forget he could it!

Brooke was around 1 1/2 - we converted her crib to a toddler bed when Madison was arriving. Madison was a bit younger - just about 1 - because she learned to climb out of the crib.

We moved Keith to a toddler bed a couple months before he turned 2. We were planning on waiting til he was closer to 2 but Summer was getting too big for her bassinette so we moved Keith to a toddler bed so Summer could move to the crib. He did really well and sleeps in it very good. I have a feeling Summer may be more of a challenge when she moves to a toddler bed, she's more ornery than Keith.

I was just thinking this the other day, Andrew is starting to climb when he is in the crib,and I am sure it wont be long till he climbs out.
I also have a crib that turns into a day bed, but it still seems so high to me..so I like the toddler bed better, its lower to the ground. I am going to keep him in the bed though as long as I can. we have the kids upstairs, and I am not comfortable with him navigating the stairs alone especially at night. I also think andrew would come to our bed every chance he got! and no one would sleep. -------------------- Stacy, wife to Peter, mom to Caleb, Jakob, and Andrew

oh yeah i should have mentioned, baby gates, i have one at the top of the stairs, then one on the landing (2 stairs down, just in case he gets past the first one) on the bathroom door and on the playroom door . the playroom door is because he will get up and go in there and sit up all nite "reading" his books and is brutal the next day. so everything is blocked or double blocked except his room and mine.

Andrew was 18 months - he did great for a week or two and then something happened I don't remember what, and we ended up putting him back in the crib for a month or so. The second time around he was fine.
Allie is still in the crib - I want to move her to a bed, but up until recently she had been going to bed so nicely I didn't want to mess up a good thing. ![]() ![]() -------------------- |
