DS turned 4 in December and started to give his up about a month ago. DD1 I think did about the same, maybe even napped a little longer. My kids stay up late, though, so I think they keep napping longer than others.

Knocking on wood, we still need them & he'll be 4 in a couple of months. We skip it sometimes on weekends but he gets even wilder than usual & falls asleep on his dinner plate so it's pretty clear that he still needs them. Generally is asleep by 8:30, in bed around 8.
My DS turns 4 this week. He's skipped his nap a few times this week, and it hasn't phased him too much. I'm the one that is missing the nap time the most. I get more accomplished in that hour and a half than I did the rest of the day.

Between 4 and 4.5 she started doing more quiet time than nap time, and I stopped trying to get her to fall asleep. She (and I) need the break, but if she falls asleep (still happens very occasionally) it screws with bedtime.

This exactly, except it was between 3.5 and 4.
Now that we are completely done with naps, I find I don't usually miss them. It's nice not to have to plan our days around naps, and I still make sure he gets an hour of quiet, independent play time most days. Plus his nighttime sleep has improved.
3.5. He would have kept napping happily but it his nap was getting so long and he would be so cranky if I woke him up early and it was seriously messing with nighttime sleep. Once we cut out the nap we could put him down to bed earlier with ease and he sleeps well throughout the night.
DD1 was 5 and that is because she started full day kindergarten. Every once in a while, she will still fall asleep on the weekends. She was always my rockstar napper. DD2 is still napping at 2 (thank goodness) and it will be a sad day when she stops. That will be when I truly go insane.
DD was just over 2.5 years. She would still nap but then be up until midnight. We cut the nap and she started going to bed at 8:00. DS was closer to 4 before he gave up his nap. He still requires more sleep than DD and he is 17months older.
DD1 stopped her naps a little after 3. DD2 occasionally took naps until she was 3.5. Most of her naps 3 and after happened if we were in the car or on the couch. It was difficult to get her to stay in her room.

This is G. He will be 4!!!! In the beginning of may. He still naps most days. If he lays down he will fall asleep 95% of the time. If he doesn't have a nap he doesn't fall asleep super early, but he does act like an asshole.
Dd1 was 4. Dd2 is 3.5 and still naps about half the time. You do have to watch how long she sleeps or it screw up nightime. If she could sleep past 6/6:30, she wouldn't be as exhausted.

Ds started only doing off and on naps around 2.5 and was done napping by 3. Dd napped every day consistently till about a month ago, so around 3.5, but instead of still napping off and on like ds did, she just stopped and won't take a nap even if she lays down and tries to.
