Kid falling out of crib--help

problem. Any suggestions?

How old is she? If she is falling out of her crib it is time for a regular bed.

You could tent her crib (see Right Start catalogs etc......) but I question how
they will
hold up against a really determined child.
My son went into a toddler bed after breaking his arm at 17 months 'climbing'
out of his crib, which
was at the lowest mattress setting with the sides up and locked. Better to
spend time teaching her how to
stay in bed/in her room then going to the ER with a concussion or broken limb
from falling.

when they can get out they are no longer 'too young to have their own
bed'

I know I put my son in his own bed at 18 months. Didn't need the rails as
he stayed on the bed on his own but boy I had to rebabyproof the room lol...
Toddler beds are great. THey are close to the ground and they have a
railing that keeps them from rolling off... GOod luck

How young is she? My parents moved me out of my crib at 18 mos because I
was jumping out of my crib. I moved my son out at about 21 mos for the
same reason (well, that, and I needed the crib for a new baby).

on the other hand, who wants to have to buy many different beds for one
kid -- if one has a toddler bed given to one or one of those convertible
crib sets great -- but I wouldn't buy a toddler bed -- just get the twin
size mattress and springs and start on the floor if necessary

YMMV
