How old was your child when you put them in a toddlers bed?

Question

My son is 15 months old and climbs on everything, gets into everything, and is walking like a pro :P anyways just want to get a general idea of how you kid was when you put them in a toddlers bed?

Answer 1

If he is climbing out of his crib, now is the time to change. If he is not, you can wait till he is closer to 2 or he starts climbing out.

Answer 2

My son was about 13 mos old he was climbing out of his crib and I didn't want him getting hurt so I put him in the toddler bed with rails and he did wonderfully.. my sister put a baby gate up at her son's door when she put him in a toddler bed so he couldn't roam the house at night

Answer 3

acctually my son who is 2 spent his first night in the bed last night. He never attempted to climb out of his crib so I never pushed the issue. I think when ever you think they are ready

Answer 4

Answer 7

my son is 15 months and we just put him in one this weekend.  we put a safety rail up until he gets used to it so he doesn't fall out.  He is doing well and loves his new bed.

Answer 8

Both of my girls were 15-18 months- We put my oldest in a "big girl bed" for naps only 1st b/c she was uncomfortable w/ it, but by 18 months she was sleeping in it all the time. My youngest transitioned easily- at about 18 months or a little earlier. If he is a climber, then you may want to go ahead and transition him for his own safety so he doesn't try to climb out of his crib.

Answer 9

When your son start climbing out of his crib, then I would suggest switching him. Otherwise, keep him in as long as possible. I didn't switch my son out until 2 1/2. It is a different world when they have the freedom to get in and out of their bed, so beware. It is exciting to switch them into a big boy bed, but it is a LOT more work....
