Toddler bed, but early…

Has anyone switched to a toddler bed super “early”? My little one is not even 2 and I’m kind of considering it so we have an easier transition. He’s in a mini crib right now. He typically sleeps through (7:15-6:30) and often flips himself 180 at some point. His room is set up to be safe if I do a few little adjustments and we use an audio visual monitor, his bed is literally 6 steps from ours but in a diff room (we have a very very small home) and we are extremely light sleepers.

Thoughts?
