I put bed, but it's actually a full size bed on the floor. She's done great with it. When we move her to her big girl room, I'll put the bed on the frame and put rails on it.

I voted since DD is just a few days over 2.5. She moved to a toddler bed at the beginning of June so 2 years 2 months. She has never once gotten out of bed. She calls for us after her naps and when she wakes up in the morning. I'm sure this isn't the case for everybody but we had good luck.
We just moved DS to a full size bed (mattress & box spring on the floor though) about a month ago.... so he was about 2 y/1 mo. We wanted to start the transition before #2 arrives in 3 weeks on Nov 3rd. He's taken to his big boy room & bed amazingly! Knock on wood, doesn't crawl out, make a fuss, and waits for us to come get him after naps and in the am.
We transitioned JD's crib to a toddler bed when he was 22 months. He's done great with it mostly. Every now and then he goes through a phase where he refuses to stay in bed and wants to fall asleep in the hall outside his door. I just let him and then put him in his bed before I go to bed.
I voted toddler bed, been there a while but he's actually been in a double bed. We had him in his toddler bed and one night he walked into the guest room and went "sleepytime" on that bed so we converted his crib to double and he's been there for about 8 months now.
DD has been in a single bed since July. I wanted to keep her in her crib until we needed it again (that would be this spring) since she wasn't even attempting to climb out. However, we went on vacation at the end of July and I wasn't sure if our room would be big enough for her pack n play or if she'd have to sleep in the other double bed.
I planted the seed and then she requested to use a big girl bed. No problems sleeping there at all. She is day care trained and does not get out of bed until I come in for her! She does know to speak up if she has to go potty (I still use the monitor).

Re: 2 to 2.5 yr olds (poll)
DS is still in his crib and would stay there except that we need the crib for #2...so we'll make the switch in December.
At her mother's house, SD is still in her crib.
With us, she's been in her toddler bed since she was 18-19 months.
I never held you, but I always loved you.
