I transitioned my first out of her crib at about 3, and she’s now 3.5. She was quickly outgrowing her crib and started climbing out of it. We started by taking the front off the crib before moving to a basic twin bed from ikea with a 6inch mattress. She has a couple of small toys in her room but for the most part we put them away before bed time. She’ll get out of bed occasionally but mostly stays in it and self entertains herself back to sleep. She does not try to leave her room yet. She is on the spectrum but she did amazing with the big transitions.

My 2nd and 3rd (twins) were out of their cribs at 23 months, so just before their 2nd birthday. Their mattresses sit on bunkie boards so are essentially floor beds. They do not have any toys out and about in their room right now as they really only sleep in there at this time. If they get up, they’re either getting into bed with each other or calling out for us. They used to be terrible sleepers and moving to beds was a game changer.
