Advice to help me with my toddler

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

ok. i would post this on babycenter.com but no one ever response to the chat boards there so i think here would be a better place. if you are a parent or know a great deal about children maybe you could help me. ever since we got back from rome about 2 weeks ago grace (14 months on sept 4) doesn't want to sleep in her crib. she usually plays in her crib while i am showering but she screams when i put her in there. i can usually distract her w/ toys and she's sometimes ok. she was today. she got sick when we got back and in general just hasn't been sleeping well. she did have to sleep w/ us while on vacation b/c at the hotel in rome for one night the babybed was broken and in venice we stayed at a mom and pop type place w/ no crib. i know this has spoiled her but i can't help it. i'm not going to not tour europe b/c she can't sleep in her crib everynight. she has been napping fine in her crib. so my ? is. do you think it would be ok to move her to her toddler bed. her crib converts into one. the reccomended age by the crib manufacturers is 16 mo. but she can already walk and knows how to get down off of the couch and our bed so i don't think she'll hurt herself. any thoughts? sorry my post is so long
