Tan we were wondering the same thing here, but Aricyn likes jumping up and down on beds too much for us to even contemplate changing him into a bed. He still wakes up at night - mainly because he gets cold cos he shuffles around the cot so much, but we aren't even thinking about getting him out of the cot any time soon.
We have hired a hammock for the new bub (and have a bassinette as well) and if worst comes to worst, we have our portacot. We definitely aren't going to try to move Aricyn before he has indicated to us that he wants to move. Hopefully that will lead to him wanting to sleep in the bed, instead of jumping on it!!
just wanted to add that you can get junior beds these days which are really low to the ground, use a cot matress and have rails attached. they are pretty cheap too.
my DD never slept in a cot, she was in our bed, on a matress on the floor, only used the cot when both sides were off and bed rails on. so it was easy for us when we put her in a normal bed. she is in a single bed now and ok with it. she can get in and out of it fine being the size it is.
