How did you know that DC was ready for a toddler bed?

Jacob is 18 months and he likes to sit on our bed. He also knows how to get off the bed safely (on his belly). When did you put DC in a toddler bed. I am a little nervous. I have visions of him walking around the house in the middle of the night TIA!

For me it was b/c my girls would consistantly climb out of the crib..night after night after night...they were all about 18 months when they went into the toddler beds.

I did it only because DD is very tall and big and she would move around in the crib/day bed and hit all the walls lol.

DS started to try and climb out so I put him in a bed before he hurt himself. If he didn't try to climb out I wouldn't have moved him

MY son was always trying to climb INTO bed at bedtime, so we got him a toddler bed.

I don't think he even noticed that he was sleeping in a bed, he just climbed in and went to sleep!
