7 Signs Your Baby Is Ready For A Big Kid Bed

Making the transition from crib to toddler bed is one that can be fraughts with indecision and worry when parents decide to go ahead and shell out money for a race car or a princess carriage or single cot purchased during a profanity-ridden jaunt to the IKEA. How do you know when your baby is old enough? How do you know when your baby is ready? Most sexperts (and yeah, I know, I should refer to them as EXPERTS but calling them sexperts makes it sound much sexier) suggest waiting until your toddler is closer to age three, but because I am also a sexpert I have compiled this handy list to let parents know when it may be time to move their baby out of the crib.

If your baby is getting strong enough to get their limbs trapped in the crib, it may be time to move them to a big kid bed.

 You Are Pregnant Again 

When you find yourself in the family way again, now is the time to boot that baby from the crib and get them into their own big kid bed, so you can make way for your brand new baby.
