Leash, Oskar was 2 1/2 and made the decision on his own to go into the big boys bed and into his own room all in one go!! He was in our room, in his cot, next to my side of the bed up until then. The only time he ever got out was when he said he wanted to sleep in there one night earlier than that but then decided he actually didn't want to be in the new bed but his old bed. Once HE made the decision he's actually never got up and out. *touch wood* As for falling out, I'm not sure if he fell or tried to get out one night - middle of the night. He was sitting on the floor lol crying out mummy mummy. The bed he has is from Ikea and it's a full size single BUT it can be adjusted in length to make is shorter so it has like a rail inbuilt then. We have it at it's shortest length still and have a pillow in the gap JIC lol.

sazza, my personal opinion on that is to let her adjust and transition on her own. Make the bed up and have it all nice etc and she might just decide she wants to sleep in her new bed. We also told Oskar he was too big for the old bed. We didn't need it straight away for Elijah but it was getting close so I'm glad he got to decide, it's worked really well.
