Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 We went from the crib to a day bed (bottom trundle, so it stayed close to the ground) at about 12 mos. and Becky has done great. I am sure that she would do fine on the top bed but I have always been worried about her falling, or climbing too. I know that toddler beds aren't too high off the floor, or you could always just place a matress directly on the floor (that is what we did for our son and he did not have clubfoot).

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 With my non clubfoot son we got him a twin bed. We put one side against the wall and bought one of those plastic/mesh side rails for the open side. It is not as long as the bed so he can climb up and down on the bottom part of the bed but he doesn't roll out. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Just lay his big boy mattress flat on the floor till he's bigger s. Big boy bed and DBB Hi everyone, Ridley is doing well. He's in his DBB 12hrs a day now. He's running and is trying to jump and kick a ball. I'm so proud of him. He's 16mtns now. We want to move him out of his crib into a bed. I'm a bit worried about him falling out of bed as he thrases about a lot. I know you can get those bar thingmys. But he loves to climb also. I guess I'm just worrying. He's climbed stairs with a DBB and gets down off Sofas with one on no trouble. Any advice for me changing to a Big boy bed? Thanks everyone, Melitsa Little miracles happen everyday. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
