She is on the smaller side at 5years 34lbs and 43".</p> <p>She had no issues with it.</p> <p>She moved up to the Kura twin bed from Ikea when DD2 was ready for the toddler bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-in-toddler-bed#post-2849211 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 11:07:35 +0000 josina 2849211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning on getting DS a twin bed for his 4th birthday - I'm also hoping this convinces him to sleep in it all night vs. crawling in our bed!</p> <p>We also have 2 in a small room so it's been a necessity. Once we switch to a twin I'll have to take the rocking chair out of their room - and it will get more cramped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-in-toddler-bed#post-2849204 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 10:41:39 +0000 nana87 2849204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 was in a toddler bed for about a year— about 2.5-3.5. She doesn’t sleep inside sheets like a human though, she sleeps on top of the blanket and kept twisting perpendicular and then falling off 🤦‍♀️ If she would have slept normally she could have made it last longer but I couldn’t deal with the middle of the night falling out of bed dramz much longer lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-in-toddler-bed#post-2849176 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 08:55:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2849176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree that it really depends on their size. I don't have big kids and while neither of them are in a toddler bed, I am sure they would fit in one longer than average if need be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-in-toddler-bed#post-2849174 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 08:52:16 +0000 Sams Mom 2849174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is still in one at 2 1/2, but he's already 40" tall so I doubt he will be in one for more than a year more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-in-toddler-bed#post-2849172 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 08:49:18 +0000 Adira 2849172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really depends on your kids' height I think. We switched Xander close to 5.5 because I was starting to feel like he was getting cramped, but he's also a peanut (5th percentile for height), so if you have a taller kid, I'd expect they'd outgrow it sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-in-toddler-bed#post-2849171 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 08:48:00 +0000 erinbaderin 2849171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B was about 4.5 when we moved him, and he probably could have stayed in it a while longer, but he’s pretty little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-in-toddler-bed#post-2849168 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 08:39:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 2849168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TL:DR - How long did your kid stay in a toddler bed? Or how long could they?</p> <p>Trying to make DD1's room work for two kids is proving to be tricky. It's a big room but not a ton of empty wall space (windows, closets, etc.). We're thinking of moving her to a toddler bed instead of a twin to buy us some time, with the hopes that when LO2 needs to go from crib to toddler, we'll have the space to move DD1 to a twin. DD1 will be 3 1/2 in December when LO2 arrives. </p>
