at what age did your child start sleeping in a bed..?

Question

just curious what the average here is.

Answer 1

Both my son and daughter moved from a crib to a bed at about 18 months. The deciding factor was that they could both scale their crib and dangle dangerously from the top rail.

We used better judgement at that point and took the fall from four feet down to two feet with their very own beds.

Keeping them IN the bed is another matter altogether :)

Answer 2

2 or 3

Answer 3

5

Answer 4

My girl started at about 2 to 2 1/2. When we got her a toddler bed and took down the baby bed. was not a big deal to her.

Answer 5

My son was just a little over a year old when he started sleeping in his bed (it is a Sponge Bob bed). He never even cared about the changed.

Answer 6

We moved our son into a toddler bed when he was two and a half, and we were planning to try to have another baby. We didn't want him to feel like he "had" to give the baby his crib, we just told him he was a big boy. That way he wasn't feeling replaced by the baby. It worked very well.

Answer 7

My children all have gotten a toddler bed at their 2nd birthday. My 3 and 4 year old got bunk beds for their birthday this year.

Answer 8

When he got big enough to climb out of the crib by himself. I guess he was between 18 to 24 months (don't remember-it was so long ago). I was in bed and one morning when I woke up,
he was standing next to the bed looking at me. Scared the
"you know what" out of me. Switched him to a regular bed after
that

Answer 9

1 Year of age. We placed him in a bed of roses and that is where he still sleeps. He is 57 years old now and loves it!!!

Answer 10

My kids went from crib to toddler bed on their first birthdays. My son got a big boy bed on his fourth birthday. Some say it's too early, but they adjusted quite well.
