[quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your kid. My first was a rule follower. She could get up to pee or when the first number on her clock said 7. She went to a full bed with no rail around 2.5.

DC2 was not as much of a rule follower, so we kept her in all the way to 3, with a mattress on the floor of her crib since she would climb out otherwise. Once we moved her to a bed, we let her come get us when the first clock number was 6. She went to a full bed with no rail. We spent lots of nights silently walking her back to bed.

My youngest went to a twin bed with a foam bumper. He was not night trained yet, so he was not needing to use the bathroom yet at night. He also couldn't read numbers, so we got him a "green light" clock for when he was allowed to wake up. We used a gate at the top of the stairs mostly so no one would fall in the night on their way to the bathroom (middle dc also sleep-walked). They certainly could traverse the gate during the day, but when half asleep it prevented anyone from falling down the stairs.[/quote]
