Crib to bed vs. potty training

[chyna823]

My just-turned-two-year-old seems very interested in trying the potty, but she's still in a crib. We do want to switch her to a real bed soon, since there's a new baby on the way, but I'm wondering which I should try first. If she's still in the crib during potty training, will that cause problems because she can't get up and go to the bathroom herself?

We started potty training a little over a month ago and dd was still in her crib.  The next day she decided to learn how to climb out of her crib so we did both at the same time and it really hasn't phased her.  We're still working on the potty training of course, but most times she's good with her bed.  It's a convertible bed so it's still her crib with the one side off to make a toddler bed.  She's only gotten out twice when she should've been sleeping.  Anyway, my point for you, is that we were planning to do potty training while still in the crib so I think that's ok to do AND dd is in a big girl bed now and does not take herself to the potty.  She's in diapers for naps and bedtime still as she doesn't have the control while sleeping.  That often cames later than daytime training.  Good luck with whichever you decide!
