Kellie HI

Max had a cot where the sides came off and I did remove them prior to him being in his big boy bed here and I do think it helped a little. I had a rail on the side though.

As far as moving rooms goes, we moved countries and Max transitioned really well.

I guess he was used to having no cot rails so didn't have any trouble going from little toddler bed with guard rail thingo (Target one I think) to new room in new big boy bed, with guard rail thingo

He'd been moved around sleeping in hotel beds etc. so he's pretty adaptable at the best of times. So I guess my advice is do try and take the cot rails off first. You will soon know whether Tahlia enjoys the security of the cot.

A friend of mine who just had her second baby tried to transition her DD1 a while back and she hated a bed....so I leant her Max's cot I guess they are all different, so try anything I say!
