He was potty trained at 30 months, but wore diapers for sleeping until about 32 months. We needed the crib for LO2 and I wanted to be sure to transition a few months beforehand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-older-toddler-in-crib#post-2216118 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 09:30:52 +0000 matador84 2216118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 33 months now and we switched him to a twin just a couple months ago. No reason I just thought it was time and I needed to put dd in the crib. No problems at all, it was a simple transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-older-toddler-in-crib#post-2216064 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:49:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2216064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I think you can do both if you want.<br /> My DS also has a sept bday - he PT'd the June before and we put him in a big bed in Sept - right at 3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-older-toddler-in-crib#post-2216051 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:37:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2216051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister moved my nephew after 3. He just liked his crib. She finally moved him because he could no longer stretch out in the crib- tall toddler and a stokke oval crib that's a bit smaller than most. I think he was even potty trained before that, but she still put him in a diaper at night just in case. He would just call when he had to go to the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-older-toddler-in-crib#post-2216038 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:28:10 +0000 SeptMomma12 2216038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: We're planning to do the 3-day potty training in two weeks. Would it be crazy to do it at the same time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-older-toddler-in-crib#post-2216031 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:24:41 +0000 Mamaof2 2216031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I think the biggest reason for moving is that once potty trained they should be able to get out bed alone to use the potty - cant do that when in a crib </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-older-toddler-in-crib#post-2216026 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:22:59 +0000 autumnlove 2216026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We modified LO 1's crib into a toddler bed two months before she turned 3 and she moved into twin bed about 2 months before she was 3.5. She never asked to move and wasn't a climber but the timing seemed right for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-older-toddler-in-crib#post-2216021 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:20:39 +0000 SeptMomma12 2216021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you move them? DS will be 3 in September and still seems very happy in his crib. Has never mentioned wanting a bed. Is there an age it's developmentally important to transition him by? </p>
