New baby was coming. In hindsight since he still liked the bed we maybe should have left him in it for longer since the baby slept in a bassinet for a while. Once the crib went, so did naps, so we should have held out a bit longer.

@erinbaderin: I consider converting the crib because I have to stick my hand in between the slats and I think it might be easier to lay in between their beds at night to get them to sleep. But I have twins that currently have never tried to climb out and so the thought of two of them loose in their room makes me think bedtime will be even worse.
@Mrs. Blue: How was it transitioning to toddler beds with twins? I'm afraid one or both won't stay in their beds or will wake the other. I don't have climbers so the crib is containing them until we get them.

@bluestriped bee: We didn't transition them until they were a few months shy of 3, and it was completely not a big deal. I had it built up so much in my head, but I think because they were pretty old, they understood what the beds were for and they mostly stayed in them. We did out long rails up, but I don't think that had much to do with it. With twins (actually any kid), I'm a big fan of leaving them in as long as possible, unless there is some major safety issue.

LO turned 3 this spring and we still haven't moved him!

She started to climb out

@jhd: This is my original thread and my son is one month from turning 3 (tomorrow) and still haven't transitioned to a bed! I'm not too nervous for the reason @Mrs. Blue: stated - he's older and loves sleep so I kinda think it won't be an issue. I've kept him as long as possible but it's getting really really hard for me to get him in and out. And I'm sure it'll only get harder as this pregnancy progresses! So I'm thinking it's in the next couple of months.
At first I was gonna go straight for the full sized bed and put up mesh rails (to reduce transitions from bed to toddler to full), but now for sake of immediate ease, I think I'll just do the toddler bed. I'm too lazy to think about getting a full sized mattress and sheets and bedding right now. Haha. Maybe when the 1st tri is done kicking my ass it won't seem so daunting. -
We waited until after the arrival of the new baby. We did it right after Christmas when he was almost 3.5. He slept so well, so why mess with a good thing?!

@SweetiePie: DS turns 3 next month. We transitioned to a full mattress on the floor a few weeks ago because he was having super-early (like 3am) wakeups, and he was too big to sleep in my lap in the glider....my back was killing me and none of us were sleeping. The switch was 100% for momma.
It has been hit or miss....he loves the new bed, but the full is so much bigger that he seems to get overwhelmed and have trouble actually falling asleep in in. So we converted his crib, and he is ROCKING it! Every night, he gets to choose "big bed or little bed". He mostly chooses little bed, but I like having the big mattress for cuddles and stories and the occasional super-early wakeup.
