We went to a queen cause we had the mattress. She had no issue.

We also went from crib to full (crib converted)

She was a wiggler and to prevent her from falling out we used pool noodles on both sides which actually makes the bed smaller and more cozy - add some stuffed animals for extra coziness

We transitioned her to a twin bed a little before she turned 2.5 years old.

DS went to a twin junior loft and DD went to a queen floorbed.

My older one went to a queen no problem. We already had the bed. We used bed rails for a little while.

Now we need them to room share so we got the IKEA daybed and everyone loves it. It's cozy, it seems bigger than a twin (though it is one) since you can go all the way up to the back edge, and it has huge storage underneath. And looks nice!

The major advantage I see of a big bed is being able to lay down with them, and using it for company. But the daybed is super fun and at IKEA prices we can give it away when they all outgrow it. Also it's a super fun reading spot for the whole family.

She went from crib to queen, because we already had the bed in her room anyway. It was nice as someplace to lay down with her or sleep with her when she woke up at night.

When we moved we switched her to a full and put the queen in the guest room. She had no trouble switching either time.
