Bed for a 2-year-old?

Around age 2, parents often think about transitioning the child to a bed. There is no fixed "mandatory" age for this, but general pediatric guidance suggests transitioning when you see one of these signs: the child starts climbing out of the crib, the crib rail height reaches the child's shoulder (for safety), or the child needs to get up independently at night for toilet training.
The safest option is a "transition bed" with the same mattress dimensions as the crib or a crib with a removable side rail used as a side bed. Low models that don't sit high off the ground reduce fall risk. To ease the transition, using a side bed in the same room for a while helps the child adjust to the new setup.
