Transitioning Toddlers to a Bed

Toddlers need to begin to sleep in a larger bed at some pint. Parents can transition toddlers out of their crib when they begin to walk by themselves, or when they start to climb out of the crib on their own. Keeping a child in their crib if they are climbing out of it is dangerous as the child could get hurt if they fall. Begin by taking the crib apart and putting up the toddler bed in the bedroom. Keep some of the same bedding in the toddler bed so the child feels comfortable while they sleep. Have the child help you pick out their own bed. If they get to choose what they sleep in, they will be more likely to sleep in it.

When the bed is put together in the room, sit beside the bed when the child is ready to go to sleep. Don't sleep with the child because they will likely expect this every night. Each night, move farther away from the child until you no longer have to sit beside the bed at all. Keep a small night light on in the room and a favorite stuffed animal in the bed with them. Keep the door to the room open so you can hear them if they cry.

At what age can I safely take the bed rails off my toddlers bed?

Usually a normal todler will be able to be safe on a bed thats not a bunk bed by the age of 2. However it is only if the parent is comfortable in doing so. There really isnt a specific age for when you could safely take the toddlers bed railings off of their bed. If you feel like the child can handle laying in the bed without falling out of it then that would be the time that you can take them off. I would say that the age of three or four would be the appropriate or approximate age.
