What age did you LO move to a BIG bed?
Hi ladies,
I am sure this has been discussed loads before but I was wondering at what age you put your LO in a bed rather than cot and when you did if you used the side things that clip onto the bed or were they OK without it?
LO is 17 months and I was thinking of trying to get her into a bed at about 2. My sister's LOs were relatively late (in my opinion) at going into a bed at 3 - but my opinion may well be very wrong.
What are your experiences?
Many thanks

The other thing would be his ability to climb out of bed and play with his toys in his room...brilliant at weekends!!!!!
I don't think there's any right time, it depends when you think is best for your LO. DS has been happy in his cotbed so we didn't see any need to change him til now. x
Thank you - that has all really helped.
K is not a climber and does sleep well (most of the time) - she is in a sleeping bag still so I think I may leave her a little while longer and perhaps do as I first thought and see what she is doing when she turns 2 in the summer.
Thanks again - much appreciated

she is now 2 and baby is due in 9 weeks, have just ordered evie a single bed so i can move her out of the cotbed, before baby arrives so she doesnt get upset that baby has stolen her bed!
if i hadnt of been expecting i probably wouldnt of moved her so soon tbh as she gets out in the middle of the night and comes into our bed zzzzzzzz!

I'm 11 weeks preg with number two so we've made the move early enough for him to not associate it with the new baby but I suppose its relatively late for him - he wasnt interested in climbing out and also a good sleeper so didnt see the reason to move him before.
Am a bit nervous he will be up and down like a yoyo though so wish me luck for tonight!! xx
We've just put ds2 into a bottom bunk over past couple weeks. We have a bed guard this time as it is a full size bed. He has a step to get in and out (which he loves and stops him climbing the ladder!). He has settled well and sleeps so much better. He is a big baby though and filled his cot (plus he borke it trying to rock it over :roll: )
Each to their own!
