Toddler Bed
How old was your toddler when they moved to the big kids bed?
I just wanted to know what was a good age for your child to move from the toddler bed to the big kids bed?
Sorry from the toddler size bed to a twin or single size bed is what I’m talking about.
I think it really depends on your toddlers size and comfort. As long as they still have room in the toddler bed and aren’t over the manufacturers suggested weight limit, I don’t see a reason to switch them. If you’re concerned about falls, bedrails can be purchased to fit any size bed. Otherwise it’s up to you and what you prefer.

When Should You Move Your Child To A Toddler Bed?
There’s really no particular time you should move your child to a toddler bed, but most children make the transition when they are either too big or too active for a crib. As a parent, both my children were moved to a toddler bed around the age 2. The thing that helped my wife and I to decide is when we started to notice how tall they were standing in a crib along with their climbing capabilities. I also have a third child who in a few months will be moving to a toddler bed. And since he’s been watching his brother and sister play on their beds, I don’t think we’ll have a difficult time introducing him to his new bed. On a side note, they say (and I have witnessed this first hand) that children without brothers or sisters have a harder time making the transition to a toddler bed.
When you plan to move your toddler to a bed, it’s not a decision that should be rushed. It’s a decision you should be anticipating, but at the same time, you don’t want to move your toddler to a bed if he or she is not ready. During this time you should also be lowering the crib base which can give you additional time, if you’re toddler’s not ready yet.
Since every child is different, they will react differently once they start sleeping in another bed. Some might have a hard time adjusting if they are very attached to their crib, while others will transition seamlessly. It’s also a good idea to plan this milestone since it might coincide with other milestones like potty training.
Once you start the transition, it’s a good idea to get a bed your child will like. For example, if your child likes cars, you might consider buying him a toddler bed that looks like a car. My son’s first bed was a fire truck bed. It had a light, which doubled as a night light and a bell. We also put in several of his favorite toys and his sleeping blanket. Also, make it a big deal and get him excited to sleep in the new bed. Throw a mini party and make it special.
Don’t worry if your transition doesn’t go well, he might not be ready. Just don’t give up, keep reinforcing the fun and excitement of a new bed. It will happen over time once they get comfortable.
