If you have enough room to set up the child's bed-to-be without taking the
crib down first, you can make the transition slowly and without undue stress.

We did this with our son and it worked very well.  He started out taking his
naps in the bed occasionally and progressed to preferring it to the crib
in a few weeks time.  The advantages of being able to easily get in and out
of bed by oneself become apparent to the child pretty rapidly, so the crib
soon loses its appeal.  Of course every kid is different and this might not
work well for you.
