TIA.

3xsthefun replied: I think Kaitlynn was almost 2 years old. Maegan she was about 14 months or so.

Mommy2Isabella replied: We converted Bella's crib she was 15 months i guess

Calimama replied: We haven't done it, but we will around the time DH gets home. So like 20-21 months? We're getting her a new bed, probably a twin rather than a toddler bed.

moped replied: Well Jack was almost 3 when he got out of hte crib....we converted it at first, then about 3 months before Laila came we got him a new bedroom set in a new bedroom with a double bed.......so both I guess.

Our Lil' Family replied: We converted Thomas' crib to toddler bed just before he turned 2. It turns into a full but now I wish it was just a twin...a full size takes up so much room! Next time I'm getting one that converts to day bed or twin!

grandma replied: I'm trying to find a good trundle bed on craigslist for my 3 yr old grand daughter, I think that would be a good choice.

moped replied:
I hear IKEA has them at a very good price

grandma replied:
Oh wow - thanks I hadn't thought of Ikea....I've never been there as it is about 40 mintues away, but I'll check out their website - thanks again!

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Sammy was 3. His crib converted directly into a full size bed - no toddler bed option. We put bed rails on both sides of the full size bed. He had no problem what so ever.

Abby will be 2 in June and I'd like to covert her crib into the toddler bed at that time and then at 3 convert the toddler bed into the full size bed. That's the plan, anyway.

holley79 replied: Well Annika's converts to the day bed without the side rail. She has been in it two nights now. Tonight being the worse yet. She is right now in my lap. She keeps running from room to room and going into the potty. I am thinking about maybe getting her a Dora or Princess bed and seeing if that will make a difference. I was also just looking through the NEX paper and the captain's beds are on sale right now. That would also get rid of her dresser and free up room. Who knows. UGG. lol. Thanks for the in sight ladies.
