Can a toddler go from a crib to a twin size bed?

I am trying to figure out if DC can go straight from a crib to a twin bed (with a guard) or if they need to be in a toddler bed first.  This will help determine the type of crib I get now.

 Thanks for your thoughts!

    They can do whatever you want them to do!  DD's crib converted to a toddler and then a full size bed.  We skipped the toddler phase and went straight to the full bed with a rail.  Super easy.  The toddler bed seems pointless to me.

    A lot of people do it. B's crib converts to a toddler bed but the way the bed is in her room it's essentially just a twin bed pushed against the wall, it doesn't have a guard on one entire side.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    My son went from a kid to a toddler bed.  we bought him a car bed so he thought it was really cool to sleep in a big boy bed  :)

    Our cribs went to toddler beds and from there we put them in twin beds.  The twins only spend a few months in the toddler beds so we could use one for the younger guy.

    My older kids went from a crib to a 3/4 bed (used to be my DH's).  It is actually between a full-size bed and a twin.  Harder then heck to find sheets for (had to buy really, really, really cheap ones and shrink them).  It was fine and we never even used a railing.  I think I put pillows along one side and the wall was on the other side.
