I told Clay the day he tries or is successful with climbing out, we are taking to crib down. I am on the fence with the whole "toddler" bed. I like that it is small and low to the gound but I may just go ahead and get a twin bed and put those rails on it. I am in the same boat as you…I don't really know what to do. I am not a big fan of Will having the opportunity to roam around the house while we are asleep. UGH! This parenting this is hard! HAHA!

I think she was around 2 1/2 or so. Her crib converted to a toddler bed and that's what she used until she was 4. Then she got regular bedroom furniture.

I, like you, liked the peace of mind that she was safe and sound where she was supposed to be all night long. She, like your son, never tried to climb out. I think it made her feel safe and secure too until she was mentally ready to move on. Thinking back ,it coincided with her no longer wearing a pull up at night and she needed to be able to access the bathroom if need be.

It's not like a pacifier you need to take away at some point because it is doing damage to them. Let them move on when they're ready IMO.

I use bed rails for my son and for my daughter I just took the crib mattress and put it on the floor so if she rolled off she would just stay on the floor and sleep. They need to feel like BIG KIDS by the time they are 2 or 3. Move him to his Big Boy bed.
But I understand how you feel though, its hard, but so much fun watching their eyes get so big when they are in a BIG KID bed
