I am ready to put my 2 year old in a toddler bed.?

Posted December 31st, 2009 by admin




I think a big boy thing is good. I recently put a pillow and comforter in his crib. He just thinks it is so cool! I am on the fence to take him out of his crib. I guess I am not ready for the responsibility on him getting out of bed. He has never climbed out of his crib. Any suggestions? How old were your children when you pet them in a toddler bed? Thanks

    My two older boys were around 2 – 3 years old when they switched out of the crib. There is this sudden sense of freedom and I needed to use a wee bit of bribing to help convince them that staying in bed was necessary. It takes time and patience to make this transition.

    I do suggest that you wait until you are ready. If you aren’t than you might get frustrated easily and send the wrong message. Mentally get yourself ready for this new adventure in parenting.

    About 2 years is when mine moved to a toddler bed. You can leave him in the crib longer if you aren’t comfortable though. They are the same size. It just comes down to what you are comfortable with.

    My son I took him out as soon as he started climbing out of his crib my daughter I took her out at just a little over a year old due to her brother beaking the movable side of the crib. She didn’t really do too bad at all. I usually am up before either of mine are up and when I am not up they are just so use to mommy being there when they get up they come in my room and get me up. It’s really a big step in their lives to change them up. Maybe if you want to try it out you could always try it out to see how he does. If he don’t want to sleep or anything like he normally would then put him back in his crib. It’s up to you on what you do though. Your the Mom and you know what’s best for your child. Good luck

    We moved when my son was 18 months, rather than setting up the crib, I just put his toddler bed in his room.

    Was a slight struggle getting him to stay in there at first, but he eventually got with the program.

    My twins were 18 months, and my son was 2 when they moved into twin beds. I don’t understand the whole toddler bed thing. Their twin beds were stackable for later bunks, had no boxsprings so were close to the floor, and had guard rails. Why spend the extra money on a bed they’re only going to outgrow soon anyway? Their twind beds lasted them the rest of their time at home.
    The twins were climbing out of their cribs and I was more afraid they’d fall from the height of the rail than that they would fall out of a bed less than 18 inches off the floor.
