Pull-Ups... when to lose them?

My daughter is too young to give up the Pull-Ups during the night, but I'm wondering what the average age is for children who can sleep through the night without accidents most of the time. I understand there may be bed-wetting at some point, obviously. But when can MOST children sleep through the night without having a ton of accidents.

My daughter was potty-trained at 2 1/2 and she's now 3 (JUST turned 3 a couple weeks ago). Do I just go by whether or not she wakes up dry most of the time?

i think the average age varies greatly b/c bed wetting is a totally different catagory from potty training.  there were numerous children at the childcare center and that i know of that were fully potty trained but always remained a bed wetter.  
there are parents that swear by stopping fluids after dinner time, others that swear if you get up twice in the middle of the night and make them use the potty the bed wetting will cease and also that they will eventually just outgrow it (my kid brother did but not until age 10!) as well as numerous other suggestions and interventions.  maybe some of the other posters will have other tips for you as well.
my son never experienced the bed wetting issue while his best friend is still tackling it today.  it just depends on the child

I agree - it's completely within normal range that your daughter isn't sleeping through the night dry.  My dd's had problems w/this for a long, long time - nothing worked & they were in pull-ups or goodnights a heck of a long time after 3.  I wouldn't worry if I were you - express your concerns to your pediatrician.  Some say stopping fluids after a certain time helps but mine said it makes no difference and for us he was right.  Good luck and don't worry - treazaure's right - it depends on the child as well as other factors.

Basically a child has to be able to hold their bladder for up to 12 hours to sleep through the night dry. I think it is a totally different thing to being able to tell and go and use the potty during the day; that they have more control over, the night thing just comes with physical maturity.
Funny thing is my autistic son is proving to be quite problamatic to train during the day as he doesn't really have the understanding to grasp the whole potty thing although he is doing better..but he is 9 times out of 10 dry during the night! So you see I have the oposite problem..his body is clearly physically ready to be trained day and night but emotinally and intellectually he isn't!
