I second skipping a toddler bed in favor of a twin with a rail (also a head/foot board). My daughter switched at about 21 months and it wasn't a huge deal. She got up and we have to put her back ALOT but I started with nap that day so she knew what to expect come bedtime. And a toddler bed is the size of a crib w/o the high rails. We're switching from our convertible crib/toddler bed to a twin with a rail after Christmas.
