You aren't going to want to hear this...especially since you already bought a convertable crib. But what I have personally found was the easiest thing to do is to skip the toddler bed. Put a twin or full sized mattress on the floor and decorate the room like a regular room. Make sure you put rails on the bed too. As the baby gets older, you can add the box spring and eventually the"wooden bed". Some furniture places even sell full/twin beds that are specifically for kids and you can raise them higher and higher off the ground. Don't waste your money on toddler bed items...they will be out of it in no time flat.I started both of my girls on a mattress when they were 10 months old. They didn't sleep beneath the covers until about age 2...but slept on top the bed with blankets on. I had their room completely baby-proofed and kept a night light in their room and just shut the door. At first, it was a novelty and they would get up some times and wander...but they always went back to their mattress to sleep. ------
