Transitioning from the crib to a bed

Did any other mommies skip the toddler bed and go right to a twin for their child.

My daughter is very tall. At 22 months she is already 3/4 of the way down her mattress. So I am thinking that a toddler bed will be a waste of money because she is going to out grow it quickly. Did anyone just skip the toddler bed and go right to the twin? Besides getting the railings are there any other recommendations?

We are going right to a twin size bed we are going shopping tommorow.

We're not at that point yet but I'm interested to hear because I would like to use our crib for the next baby and get DD a full size bunk bed with a twin on top and go straight to the full bed for her.
