Haven't posted here in a very long time, but I'm so glad to see this thread. We were just debating whether or not to move out of the crib. I guess my husband and I felt like it was something that you just do as they get to be about 2, but DD does so well in her crib I hate to mess with a good thing! I'm glad to see others are having the same discussion.
We have a full size daybed in her room. She still sleeps happily in her crib though and doesn't try to climb out. We need the crib for her brother though so hopefully she will adjust. She already says she wants to sleep in the big bed but I don't have the rails yet. Hopefully in the next month or so.
Ds climbed out of his crib for about a week a couple months ago and I thought we had to transition him but I talked to him an told him to wait for mommy or daddy to get him and he stopped. Now whether he really understood me I don't know but he did quit climbing out and we are happily in the crib. It scared me to think about switching him to a toddler bed. He'd probably do fine with it but he's such a mover in his crib and I'd think he'd get up and wander around at night.
I caught Bentley trying to climb out a week ago. Luckily we were able to move the mattress down one more step and now he is no where near able to escape. They love their cribs and since they aren't talking I am kind of stuck with these big kid transitions.
We just took the front off the crib over the weekend. DS hasn't realized he can "escape" yet. Pretty soon we're moving him to a twin bed so new baby can have the crib.

Same. No need to make my life more difficult if she's fine in her crib.
