<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: When They Are Ready
Toddlers have an innate sense of when they are ready to move from a crib to a toddler bed. They will start to feel too big for the crib and may start climbing out of it regularly. This is a sign that your toddler is becoming more independent and is ready to sleep in a toddler bed.
On the Other: By The Age of Three
When toddlers turn three, they are old enough to switch from a crib to a toddler bed. They are usually potty-trained and a toddler bed gives them the freedom and independence to go to the bathroom. It affects a toddler's well-being and sense of independence when they are sleeping in a crib after the age of three.
Bottom Line
Toddlers are on their own timeline for independence, growth and freedom. Making the transition from a crib to a toddler bed is a big change for a toddler and it is a turning point in their life. After potty training and/or the age of three, they should be sleeping in a toddler bed.
