Looking for some help with the whole toddler bed situation....

My son does not try to climb out of his crib yet (knock on wood). He sleeps pretty well and knows that his room is for sleep, not play. Has his own play room.

My question is....When do you move to the toddler bed? Do I force it or just wait till he is trying to get out?  Just don't want to disturb his routine and sleep patterns if there is no need to. I don't mind losing sleep but I just don't know if waiting might be worse. We have already secured the dresses and baby proofed. Any help appreciated or experiences. I think he is ready....he goes to daycare once or twice a week and naps well on a mat there (which is why I think he is ready). Nap is different from all night though lol

 

Thanks, ladies!

    DD2 can only sleep in her crib. If I try to put her to sleep on any other surface she simply cannot settle. So, crib it is until further notice!

    Mich climbed out of her crib just before Christmas. I changed her crib over to the toddler bed that night and she hasn't gone back. She is using the same mattress so I think that helps. Although we lucked in and she sleeps pretty well anywhere.

    If you don't have a need to go to the toddler bed (i.e. needing the crib for another baby), I would say there is no rush.

    We waited until M was jumping out of the crib (and, we also need it for baby #2), and it has been a bit of a challenge.&nbsp

    What they said. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
