We want the crib and nursery ready for number two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-977106 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:15:52 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 977106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our toddler rails came in the mail yesterday. When I asked my dad when we should do it, he suggested we go ahead (at 18 months). In a bief moment of insane excitednrss I suggested to DH we go ahead and do it. So we thought we mighttry this weekend. Or not. Who knows. We'll see what little man does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-977062 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:22:30 +0000 HLK208 977062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3 months before his 3rd birthday. Late, I know but he loved his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-976758 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:39:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 976758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21-22 months </p> <p>We wanted to do it around age two because we knew she was tall and would be able to climb out easily. Around May (21 months) we got her room set up. Without us prodding really she asked to sleep in her new room. It was a very successful transition. But her twin bed does have rails all the way around (its the top bunk of a set that we have unbunked). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-976720 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:22:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 976720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has started being able to climb out of the crib at 16 months, so we're transitioning now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-976711 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:19:01 +0000 Maysprout 976711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months. She always hated the crib so when we moved we put it up but also just put a mattress on the floor and she always ended up on the mattress so then we just took the crib down after a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-976301 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 16:16:49 +0000 pelikila 976301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After we potty trained so 20 months was right for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-976287 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 16:06:45 +0000 Sweet T 976287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was between 20 and 21 months. He figured out how to take off his sleep sack and climb out if his crib. He never tried climbing out before that. I was so worried about the transition affecting his sleep but he's done great. We converted his crib into a toddler bed for a month of two but now he's sleeping on a floor bed. We'll use the crib for baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975782 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:28:47 +0000 lavender 975782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHotDog: I read it as a blurb in a parenting magazine, could not tell you for the life of me which one though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975774 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:26:56 +0000 Rubies 975774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 22-23 months...We wanted her to get used to her bed in plenty of time before the arrival of baby#2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975767 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:25:55 +0000 Bao 975767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering this too! I think we may switch her crib to the toddler bed around 1.5/2...unless she still isn't trying to escape by then. We will buy this baby a new crib anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975764 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:25:21 +0000 looch 975764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son decided...20 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975757 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:23:59 +0000 MrsHotDog 975757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: do you remember where you read that? Is it bad to wait longer? My daughter just turned two and can climb out but she doesn't so I am debating about what to do. She is a great sleeper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975731 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:15:26 +0000 lavender 975731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that 2- 21/2 is the ideal time to transition. I already see signs of M trying to climb out at 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975724 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:14:17 +0000 lamariniere 975724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: same here! DS is 2.5 and has never tried to climb out. He is also a champion sleeper, so I don't want to risk ruining anything. We will have to kick him out in December though when baby 2 arrives and we need the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975249 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:19:23 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 975249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @Mrs. High Heels, we just did this so we can use the crib for new baby, who is due in October. LO is 25 months and has done really well so far. But he was sleeping great in his crib and I think I would have kept him there until 3ish if not for the time constraints! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975248 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:19:22 +0000 autumnlove 975248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm keeping her in as long as possible...probably when/if LO 3 arrives! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975242 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:18:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 975242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am curious as well. J is 17 months and nowhere near ready - he doesn't try to climb out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975236 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:17:27 +0000 Sammyfab 975236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will keep him in the crib for as long as possible!!! Thankfully he is not a climber (or much of a daredevil at all). </p> <p>If we waited until we couldn't physically lift him in and out of the crib then he'd probably be in high school by that point! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975230 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:16:16 +0000 prettylizy 975230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning on moving her to a floor bed in the next few months. Her younger sibling will be born right around when she turns 2 and I need the nursery for bebe #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975219 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:13:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 975219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: we moved her at 22 months because we wanted the crib for her younger brother, who was debuting when she would be 26 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975216 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:12:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 975216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it was 26 months? shortly after two. he had been able to climb out of the crib for a while, but the sleep sack kept him in there for a couple extra months. then he learned how to climb out with the sleep sack and it just wasn't safe anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975207 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:09:31 +0000 Andrea 975207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it at 2 only because I wanted her used to her twin bed before the baby came. And I needed the crib for the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975164 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 10:55:32 +0000 T-Mom 975164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved my DD when she started jumping out at 18 months. DS we thought was going to be a jumper too, but aside from the one time, he hasn't done it since, so he is still in the crib (22 months). We are thinking of moving him into the trundle bed to keep DD company when he turns 2, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-your-toddler-out-of-the-crib#post-975112 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 10:41:38 +0000 mediagirl 975112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When and why did you move your lo out of their crib?</p> <p>My husband asked last night when kids are moved to beds. We're not anywhere ready yet, we're both just curious! Is it when they get to heavy to lift into the crib? :) </p>
