Crib vs Big Bed – 5 Reasons To Think Before You Switch

Are you considering moving your child from a crib to a big kid’s bed?

1. My child is too old for a crib

If your child is content, sleeps well and doesn’t exceed the height and weight limits of their crib it’s perfectly fine for them to continue sleeping there until they physically outgrow the space. Many children rely on the security and coziness of a crib and can sleep in it comfortably until they’re three or four years of age.
