I think DS was about 21 months - it was a few months after Miss M had arrived, and we needed the cot for her.

He was always banging his head on the end of the cot though - so for a year we put up with constant wake ups. He's better now, his bed is an IKEA one so its really low to the ground, so even if he falls out, he doesn't really fall, just slides.. lol...

We were thinking of moving Miss M soon, just because she keeps on hitting her head too on the end of the cot, and I don't want to put up with a year of constant waking up every hour cos she has shuffled to the other end of the cot!

As for outside - DS will play outside now for a little while by himself, but prefers me to be out there so we all go.
