I used aguard bumper bed next to my bed but my 29 mthd eldest boy will climb onto our bed to sleep instead.. while my 9 mths youngest sleep in bb cot.... going to transit them to their own room in a few months time with a queen size mattress put on floor...
my son refused to sleep in cot and prefers mattress around 18 mths . gradually we transitioned him to his own bed around 2 yrs old . ikea kura bed is good as mattress can be on the floor and u wont worry ur kid will fall
You can let your toddler sleep in a bed after 18 months . Follow normal bedtime routine.
Just normal bed , by following normal sleeping / napping time
