My DD2 is 26 months and co sleeps in the middle of our king sized bed. She has her day time nap in our bed as well, I just put her down on her pillow towards the middle of the bed. Can't remember if she had a pillow at 8 months? Maybe not. She either falls asleep in the car and I transfer her or we sit on the couch and she has a BF then I put her in bed.
DD1 co slept, she moved to her own bed when she was almost 5 and going to start prep. DS would not co sleep, he liked his own space. Given the option both my big kids would co sleep now, I have considered buying another kings sized bed and putting it in the bedroom next to ours so we can have a supersized family bed!
We have our 4 year old DS1 in a single bed in our bedroom, which works well for everyone. We moved him to his own bed when DS2 was on the way. DS2 is 21 months and recently we have moved him into a single bed pushed up against our bed - our bedroom is crammed full of beds! We love having our boys in the same room as us, having them in another room would feel weird. It would also be hard I think for DS1 to be in his own room when DS2 sleeps with us. Nice to keep everyone all together.
When DS2 was a baby he slept on our bed, I bought a video monitor so that I could make sure he was safe. The monitor was great, it enabled me to get up and do things while he slept. Now he's bigger, he just gets off the bed himself when he wakes up. I do still put pillows around the edges if the bed just in case he rolls when he's asleep. He's never fallen off though.
