Here in WI, we are required to have children under one in playpen or crib. Then after one they can be on cot. What ages do you put on cot?
I have all my just turn one year old on a cot, and they are doing fabulous! I think they like that they can now have blanket to cuddle with and are no confined to the playpen. I was just setting up 8 cots, thinking about how great it was not to have to put playpens up and down all day!

I also have pretty large play pens and move my kids anywhere from 18-2.5 years depending on the child.

13 mo? I have one I'm starting to transition. She was 1 on Oct 4. I have another turning on nov 23. Then another on the 9 of Feb. Then. NO MORE BABIES 3 at a time. Lol. I do it every 4-5 years. It's not easy. Lol my last " triplets" are in 2nd grade now. They were may 4,6&14. Lol. I got them all at 6 weeks. At least this group is spaced out.

Anywhere from 18 months to 2.5 years ~ depending on when I need the pnp's for the next round of infants.

Any time after 12 months. Depends on their ability, but most my kids are comfortable and easily down on cots/mats by age 18 months.

Around 18 months IMO. I have an 18 month old starting soon and she was in a pnp at her old daycare so I'll start her out in one and then transition soon.

I transition based on ability and what kind of nappers they are. Kids who sleep a long time stay in playpens as long as possible. Short nappers sleep on mats.

I start @ 13-14 months.
