If you feel that he is ready then he probably is, sooo many people told me that it would cause problems being so young. Just depends on the child I suppose, I know some who are over 20 months and would not handle it yet. Good luck
I think each child is different. If you know yours is ready, then i'm sure you're right. I started the daytime sleeps in a big bed at 9 months old. Most people thought that I was crazy, but at exactly 12 months, we were out of that cot. Haven't looked back.
Good luck to all, being a parent is never easy and the rules are always changing! haha... not all kids are the same.
Im subscribing to this also cause i think we will be needing to transfer Miss B to a big girls bed soon as i have caught her with one leg up over the bar a few times already
A friend suggested to me taking the sides of the cot first - but start with the one near the wall?!
DS was 15 months old when I took the cot rails off his cot and it changed to a toddler bed.
I put a bed rail on it for security (and peace of mind for me) and I also slept in his room for a few nights to make sure he didn't climb out.
It worked for me! At 21 months he transitioned again (because we moved) into a BIG BOY bed....he still has a bed rail up, but happily climbs into his bed and sleeps all night.
we took the cot sides down first, so like someone else posted DD could get used to it and then one day she was really tired for a day nap and i just popped her in and we havent looked back...
i was suprised by the transition in that i thought it would be alot trickier, but DD likes the idea of being in a Big Girl Bed ITMS...
