When did you transition to toddler bed?

Question

My son is about to be 2 but I have zero interest in transitioning to a toddler bed because he still sleeps great in the crib and we’re not even at the lowest setting. Is it bad to keep waiting? I was hoping to make it til 3. What age did you make the transition?

Answer

We’re rocking the crib as long as possible over here!! I’d love to make it to 3 as well. Our little guy sleeps great in his and has never tried to climb out, so we’re in no hurry lol.

Answer

We did before 2 but he never slept in a crib. I think kids are fine in the crib until they’re potty trained unless they’re climbing out.

Answer

I did my first at 18 months, my second at a year because he steadily climbed out of his crib by 11 months, and my third is still 2y2m and happy as a clam in his crib.  I’m with you, I plan to let him stay in it as long as he’s not endangering himself falling out climbing and he’s cozy in there.  It gives me some peace of mind knowing he’s safe and not wandering the house.

Answer

My LO actually helped me realize she was ready!! She is 20 months and would not sleep in her bed!! One afternoon she wanted to sleep in brothers toddler bed, she fell asleep instantly. I transitioned and bedtime is no longer a hassle.

Answer

If he’s not climbing out, keep him in the crib. When they start climbing out it’s time to transition them, but if he’s good no need to transition him early.

Answer

2 1/2. He’s in a loft bed with a slide. 🤣

Answer

We transitioned when my daughter fell out of her crib while trying to climb out (just after her 2nd Birthday). 
Both of my nieces stayed in their cribs until they were 3 since they never tried to climb out.

Answer

Whenever our littles started crawling out of the crib! Our first was maybe 19/20 months old

Answer

Ours was almost 3. 2 months before his 3rd birthday.  If their sleeping fine in the crib why mess with it? He transitioned no problem and understands he has to stay in his room until we come in.

Answer

I’d just keep going if he’s doing great! We only went to a toddler bed because someone brought it (ugh pressure) she’s going to be 3 in June, she’s had her big girl bed for quite a while now and doing well but she will open her door so bare that in mind! We’ve had to put a stair gate at the top of the stairs as I will worry!  Def just go with the flow, if baby still fits then there’s no issue :)
