My daughter is 16 months. I know this is quite young to start training her

I don't think she's too young for a regular bed.

However, the one thing I WOULD recommend is that you take the crib down
and leave it out of sight for a short time (at her age, a week might be
enough, but month would be better.) -- long enough so that she has at
least BEGUN to think of the big bed as "hers". Most kids I know have a
pretty hard time with feeling displaced by the baby if they are "kicked
out" of anything and it's turned right over to the baby -- even when
they like the baby.
