When should you move your child from a crib to a toddler bed? There really is no right time. It will all depend on your child.
Most parents switch their baby from a crib to a toddler bed between the ages of 1 ½ and 3 years. It is best to keep them in their crib as long as he or she fits comfortably in it.
Toddler Bed Safety
One of the reasons you may rush to buy a toddler bed is because you worry your baby will start climbing in and out of their crib, risking injury. Before you do this, please be sure that your toddler is ready to make the transition. A toddler bed provides some freedom for your child, as he/she will no longer need help getting in and out of bed. It may not be safe for your toddler to be walking around the house when everyone is still sleeping, so please be sure they are ready for this freedom, or perhaps put up a safety gate limiting access to other rooms.
If you need to move your toddler from a crib to a toddler bed because a new baby is coming, try to move your toddler six to eight weeks prior to the new baby coming home. You do not want your child to feel their crib, or room, is being taken away by the new baby. But if your toddler is not ready to make the move, don't rush them. Leave them in the crib. Your newborn can sleep in a cradle, or bassinet, until your toddler is ready to make the move.
To make the transition easier for your toddler you should try to keep the toddler bed in the same room as the crib and make the change fun. You can have a big boy/big girl moving-from-crib
-to-toddler-bed party. If there is an older sibling you can say "WOW, you are moving into Bobby's big bed."
You may want to have your toddler help you choose the bedding that you will be using as this will make them feel safe and not afraid to make the move.
Finally, if your toddler is walking around at night, crying, or cannot fall asleep, he or she may not be ready to move to a toddler bed. So please wait a few weeks and try again.
