Spinoff to toddler beds...
Bella, my little spitfire, will be 18 months next Wednesday. When should I be mentally preparing myself to "graduate" her into a larger bed?
I don't want to say it, but thus far things have been...you know...not necessary...
NO JINXING please.

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
My son, who is nearly 3, would more than likely still be in a crib is #2 hadn't come along. He was not a climber and loved it. I guess things could have changed, but we'll never know, he went into his toddler bed and 22 months. IMO, I would keep them in the crib until a situation warrants otherwise  Or they get too old

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
I don't plan on taking Jake out of the crib until it's necessary (i.e. he starts trying to climb out).
I'm terrified of the possible ramifications of a toddler bed: getting up in the middle of the night to come to mommy & daddy's bed, getting up to play with his toys, etc.

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
I plan on moving my son in a few months and he will be a little over 2 but only because #2 is on the way and I want him have time to forget about his crib being his before the new baby comes and gets in. He loves his crib and is sleeping well now and I don't want to jinx this but this is what works best for us. I think you convert when you feel the need to - if they aren't jumping out or too big or need the crib for someone else - why convert them?

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
Jake is 28 months old and still in his crib. He fell/leaped out once and scared himself that he never did it again (along with mommy yelling at him never to do that again). I will keep him the crib for as long as I can. I have the conversion kit for his crib for when the time comes.

Same here. We have no issues so far, I'm hoping it stays that way.

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
When we move into our new home I'm going to put Julia in a full bed, she will have to get all new furniture because the next baby will get her crib and other stuff.
She will be 2 when shes in her bigger bed.

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
I just read an article on this and they said don't rush it. Children usually switch anytime between 18 months and 3 years old, and the closer to three years old the better. It said not to switch them to a bed until the child seems ready, and if you must switch because you need the crib for another child to switch a couple weeks before or after the new baby will need the crib.

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
My DS climbed out of the crib at 15 months and my DH bought a toddler bed that night. It is great at night he goes right in but he doesnt have a regular nap schedule since he would rather be out playing with all the toys in his room. It is so hard sometimes without the nap, so I say keep them in there as long as possible!

Re: Spinoff to toddler beds...
Ava is 2 1/2. We made a big production buying her a Princess Toddler Bed. She "helped" Daddy take down the crib- we even took pix...She played in the new bed all day. When it was time for bed- she went nuts!!!!! She was having a breakdown and would not even sit in it.....
Soo,,,,,,since I treasure my sleep and since she usually sleeps 12 hours straight- a night- without a peep.... Poor Daddy had to take down the toddler bed and put back up the crib!!!!
We will wait till she is almost 3...She is not big on change...
