CP: Crib v.s. Big Kid Bed

[Beener]

A few recent posts have me wondering who has made the transition from the crib to the big kid beds.

For the mobile users:
We are still in the crib, and will be for awhile
We are still in the crib, but plan on transitioning in the next few months
We've already transitioned to a big kid bed
We cosleep

We didn't move H out of the crib until the month before he turned 3. I will hopefully do the same with E.

She's still in the crib, but we're trying to figure out what we'll do when #2 gets here. She'll be just shy of 2 years old and I guess we'll transition her to a toddler bed? I feel like she's just too little for a bed though! And she's nowhere close to being able to climb out of the crib, she's only 28 inches tall.

Crib for as long as possible!

Same here.  And we only moved him out because of the impending arrival of DS2!
Crib 4 lyfe.
Or, until 3, anyway.

Crib until he can climb out. Unfortunately, I don't think he will last til 2.

We put Dylan in a twin bed at 18 months and we will have to do the same with Mia soon because she is a climber. I know it is going to be soon that she figures out how to climb out of her crib. Grrrr!

The climbing scares the crap out of me. He has gotten really good within the last week and it is not going to be long before he figures out how to do it in the crib.

Oh geeze, I just saw this post! I need answers, lol.
Eta:Andrew climbed out this morning.

Goal is 2.5/3, but DS1 climbed out at 2 we are debating buying DS1 a twin bed for his birthday or Christmas just in case we don't make it till next year's goal.

Hopefully this is a one time incident and not a habit! We did not move DS1 till he literally just got in and out at his pleasure. There were a few random instances before that.

We cosleep and he has a big boy bed.

We moved Kalvin out of the crib into a twin bed at 22 months because of Katelyn. She loves to climb into Kalvin's bed and she has slept in it several times when both are in our bed and DH puts her in his bed because we don't trust the two of them next to each other.

I think we'll switch the crib to a toddler bed by 18 months because we are on borrowed time until she gets her legs over the crib.

Still in the crib, but for some reason I am wondering when we'll switch him. I dont know why, he's perfectly good in his crib, but I would love it if he could get up on his own and come out to us. But I want to keep him contained, too. I dont know!!! Maybe in a few months.

Crib and sleepsack for life.

(I'm a broken record this morning.)

[cat19]

We bedshare. She effing hates the crib. We're going to Ikea Tuesday to find her a big girl bed. We'll start with naps, but I hope to have her in there full time by 18 months. She's an expert at getting out of our bed and hers won't be nearly as high.

[angiekay84]

Crib and a crib for as long as possible. I love that she can't open the door and "run" around the house. I don't think we'll have a problem with this as she is a cautious child.

[bebeetmoi]

I'm keeping her in the crib until she is at least 3! Or, at least until it is no longer safe due to possible escape attempts.

[lauranicole91]

She's in her crib from 9:30pm-1:30am and then our bed from 1:30am-9am.

Clearly you can see I failed miserably trying to get her out of our bed. We gave up. But we did find a more comfy set up for the three of us so at least we are all sleeping well.

[thedahliharpa]

Mostly in her PNP in our room. Tiny bits in our bed. We will try the crib/room transition again in the next few weeks once we get a new shade for that room. It was awful last time, I'm dreading it.

[thedahliharpa]

Oh and H was in her crib until after D arrived, almost 3.5 years. At least someone used that crib :-)

[browneyedhunni85]

Christian will be in his crib for awhile. I hope to get pregnant next at the end if summer/ early fall and we will try to transition once we prepare for new baby.

[monkeybabe]

We cosleep, but Zoe has a big girl bed for naps and the beginning of the night where we're still downstairs.

[SteelCity44]

Crib for as long as I can. He's not a climber though... yet.

[dixeedeluxe]

We'll use the crib forever!

Crib for as long as possible.

Driving home from the furniture store with $1100 in big kid furniture. I'm refusing to buy another crib. Hopefully this idea will not backfire!!

[carawestt]

Still in a crib and will be for a while. Lincoln would never stay in bed if he wasn't contained.

Crib as long as possible
