DS is 23 months old and very content in his crib, so I don't see us transitioning him anytime soon unless he climbs out. He also does 360s all night long and that makes me think he's gonna fall out of a regular bed.
DD is 2 years, 4 months and still in her crib quite contently. She's never tried to climb out. I see us keeping her in there until sometime between 2.5-3 years if possible! So obviosuly I can't help you with when we transitioned, but she's still in there and doing well.

Are you anywhere close to potty training yet? Just wondering how that works with a crib!

We are potty training over Christmas break, so in about a month. So I guess the crib thing will be dependent on how that goes. I image we'll daytime potty train at the beginning and then work on naps and nighttime. So we might be able to still keep her in the crib for a little bit.
at 3 and a couple of months. We switched her so she could get up and use the potty at night or in the morning if need be. She typically won't get out of the bed until we come in though
Shortly after turning 2 (2y, 3 m, to be exact).She was fully PT and out of diapers, even at night, and I wanted her to be able to get out of bed on her own to go to the bathroom MOTN and first thing in the morning (even though she still needed my help once in the bathroom). She also wanted a bed and talked about having a bed "like a big girl" and it just felt like it was time. It coincided with her starting preschool just a few weeks after.
DD was 1 month shy of 3 when she suddenly decided she no longer wanted to sleep in the crib. One night she refused to go down in it so I told her if she slept there one more night we'd buy her a bed the next day. She did and we did.
Right around 2. When DS calls for me in the night I usually go in and lay with him until he falls back to sleep (and I end up staying there), so getting him a full-size made this easier. (Prior to that, we had a futon in his room, I wasn't climbing into his crib to lay with him, lol.)
DS1 got kicked out just shy of 3 because DD needed it. DD and DS2 got the boot right around 3 because they looked uncomfortable. They have twin beds with one side against a wall and a rail on the other.

3 years and 7 months. I was pregnant and was going to need the crib for the baby in a few months. Otherwise I'm not sure I would have even switched her then!

I guess this is one benefit to having lazy ass boys who don't want to potty train until 3.5. Both my boys were/are late to potty train, and happily stayed in their cribs until just after 3.
He'll be moving to a twin bed in a month to give him some time to transition before ds2 is born. He'll be 2 yr 3 months. Otherwise I wouldn't move him for another 6 mo to a year.
26 months because we needed the crib for kid #2. The anticipation was way worse than the actual process, IMO. We played up the "big girl bed" element and let her pick out sheets and a duvet. She seems so much more comfortable now in a twin bed than the last few months in her crib.
The first three were moved around 2.5 because another sibling was on the way. DS2 will be moved in the next few weeks because he is a climber. He will be just shy of 22 months.
