21 months-only because she figured out how to escape and was hurting herself
Put it off as long as you can!

We just did last week, 2years old and a couple of months. The portacot he was in was getting a little small for him and we are expecting in Dec so thought we better do it now so he thinks it is because he is a big boy, not because he's being booted out for baby lol

We are at two and a half still in the crib. Putting it off until he figures out how to climb out of it š¤š»

Between 19 and 20 months, little one will be 21 months next week. So recently.

16 months. I put pillows on the floor while she got used to the side being gone.

Wondering the same thing my oldest I think was 3 my youngest is 1 in a crib

About 12 months we bought a low frame single bed and ditched the crib. But we only used it for naps until 2.

About 2.. I think you just have to gauge it with your little one and see if theyāre ready. Every baby is different.

13 months

2 years

18 months or less as he kept climbing over! We did keep a side on the bed though so he didnāt roll out and it made him feel more secure x

About 21 months but she was trying to climb

About 18 months she climbed over the cot rail and out and came into my bedroom to say hello š¬

2!

My daughter was a year old, but that's simply because of her height. She is super tall x

My daughter is 21 months and so scared to switch her to toddler bed because off the way she sleeps š¤£š©

Took the side off the cot the day he turned one. No drama at all. He got a toddler bed at 18 months and loves it. He's 2 now and still going awesome.

My daughter was 2 years old. But she kept weighing around and hitter her head off the side. Got her a three quarter bed (small double) when she was 3 and has slept perfect since

2 years only because I gave birth to 2nd baby so had to transition 1st child quickly

About 15 months as he was climbing out of his cot.

I switched when my son turned 2

I just switched my son to a toddler bed last week. Heāll be 2 on Saturday. He loves it!

When it became apparent they could get themselves out (leg up on the side).

We changed our lo over at 13 months and never had an issue. He gets up in the middle of the night and crawls in bed with us but that's about the only thing. He'll be 2 in Oct and he loves his big boy bed.

Toddler bed at 18 months and twin bed at 2 years for my son.

2.5 years ⦠because baby came & was outgrowing the bassinet
I did like her in the crib because in the mornings she would have to stay in there & play or fall back asleep until I got up hehe but now sheās up like a rooster!!

2.5 years. She was fine in her crib, didnāt try and climb out or anything, we just had a very good bedtime routine going and not a lot of things going on in life so we decided it was a good time for us. We wanted transitioned her into a toddler bed while the timing was right, instead of waiting til we absolutely had to (like if she started crawling out of it, or if we got pregnant again) because who knows what would be going on in life when that happened.

Iām struggling with this too! My son will be 3 in November and has no interest in leaving the crib. He doesnāt try to climb out and he is not one for change!! So I know the transition will be difficult. Any suggestions?

My oldest we transitioned her right before she turned 2 and she did great!
My second is about 2.5 and is not the best at communicating so I just worry that she would get out of bed with out me realizing it and get into trouble. The room is as baby proof as I can get it we had to move from a large house to live with my father in law so we are down to 2 rooms so that makes things hard. She is in therapy to help help her with her development and speech. I maybe worried about nothing but that thought doesn't help my mommy brain.

When I noticed he was jumping and trying to get out by himself. Around age 2.

My girl is 2 1/2 half and Iām 6 weeks away from my due date. We ask but she is not ready ot give up her crib. So we are gonna see how she is after 3-4. Thatās what most experts say. I would not force the issue. Especially if you donāt have to. A friend forced her 2 year old out of her crib so she could use it for her son, and to this day her daughter (who previously had 0 sleeping issues) sleeps on her floor smack against her door so no one can get into her room in the morning.

My child is 2.5 and still in a crib. Sheās only climbed out once. Otherwise sheās very content just hanging out in her crib and everyone has told me to keep her In a crib for as long as sheāll let us. So either she will start to climb out more or sheāll get kicked out when the 2nd comes along š

When we started the potty training process that's when we changed the bed.

All in toddler or twin by 18 months and potty training starts if they are ready but all my kids so far have been potty trained by just after 2 yo.

9months

I generally waited for my kids to tell my my son switched at about 2.5 my first daughter was the same age but my last baby hated the crib and at about 10m we lowered her crib all the way and took the front part off so she can get in and out freely, left a body pillow on the floor infront of it, she absolutly loves it this way.

2 years 1 month. Mainly because he was potty training and we wanted him to be able to get out of bed at night if he felt he needed to go x

With my first we switched to a mattress on the ground right before she turned one because she was climbing around. We just baby proofed the entire nursery and put a gate on the door so she couldn't get out until we got her. Currently pregnant and we're planning on switching to a toddler bed once they start standing/ climbing again

Mine is 2 1/2 he climbs up and down his cot hes ready. But I kept him longer as I worried hel fall off his big boy bed. But hes ready i think

2

I switched my son to a bed this year after he turned 2

2 years old

I can't remember, but I think around two

Just did a week after he turned 2. Only because he crawled out of his crib. Otherwise I wouldnāt have made the move

We are in the process right now and she's 16mo. It's only because she's very independent, her room is baby proof, and we want to use the crib for her brother in 2 months...so we want to give her a transition time. She loves the bed (it's a frame that sits on the floor so she can get in and out herself), and right now we are just working on her getting out of it easily without falling before we try a nap and do bedtime a little later. She's also beginning to indicate potty training readiness signals. When we start that process I want her able to get up when needed, not stuck and having to wet herself.

See took the side off the cot bed when she turned three and have just moved her into a single with a bed guard now she is 3.5. She still doesnāt climb out until we go get her in the morning

My son will be 3 in a few weeks and he is still in his crib. He likes it and doesnt try to get out. He is potty trained when awake but will not wake up to go to the potty yet.

I made the switch when my babes figured out how to climb out.. Both were 2 š

Mine is nearly 2 and we r considering putting him in his toddler bed. He keeps climbing into his sister's bed so we think he is ready
