My daughter just turned 3 and sleeps in a toddler bed. My son is 17 months and sleeps in his crib. I was wondering what your kids sleep in and when did you move them from crib to toddler bed? Toddler bed to big bed? Or did you skip the toddler bed all together?
We didn't bother with the toddler bed at all. We went straight from the crib to a twin size, but we used side rails for the first few months. We did this all when he turned 2.
I have 2 daughters. My oldest is 2 1/2 (31m) and we just put her into her BIG GIRL Bed (a twin bed) on Wednesday. We tried a toddler bed with her earlier (18 m) and she wanted nothing to do with it so we sold it and put her back into the crib until now. My younger daughter (20m) is still in her crib. We will skip the toddler bed for her too.
My son had one of those convertible cribs. Take the side off and it turns into a toddler bed thing. He went to that at about 2 years old. And then at about 3, maybe 3 1/2 he went to a twin size bed. My son is very big for his age, so he just outgrew the crib size mattress.
my son went from a crib to a toddler bed at around 1 1/2 did great with the toddler bed.it was good because we wanted to transition from toddler bed to twin bed when he was around 2 1/2 seeing how the beds are about the same if u have a safety rail on the twin and plus he was extra tall for his age..but now he sleeps in a twin size bed with safety rails on one side and the other side is on the wall and he just turned 3 in september 2010. My step daughter is still in a toddler bed and she is the same age (4 days older than my son).we had her in a crib/playpen untill she was about 2 1/2 then we got her a toddler bed and still remains in that..she is smaller is height than my son so it works perfect for her..she is also 3 yrs old.
My son, 4 sleeps in a toddler bed and my daughter, 2 sleeps in our crib converted into a toddler bed. In January my son will be getting a twin or full size bed. And actually Leigh, my son's toddler bed including mattress was only ONE hundred dollars, not hundreds of dollars :)
