20 month old climbing out of crib
Anyone else at this point?? Idk what to do. Everything says “keep them in a crib as close to 3yo as possible bc they are way to young otherwise for a toddler bed” but then also says, if they climb out they need to be in a bed or other floor and gives no other help. We transitioned the crib to a toddler bed Sunday night and it was a disaster so we went back to the crib but with a sleep sack and it worked until tonight when I walked out of the baby’s room (he was laying in the crib) took three steps away and heard a thud bc he’d climbed over the railing in the sleep sack and hit the floor. (He’s fine!) I’m currently holding him snoozing in the recliner but this is obviously not helpful long term.. but neither is any advice I’ve found from all these sites about baby sleep 😭😭 anyone else here and so torn and struggling?!
(Sorry for typos- typing at a funny angle over sleeping baby and trying to just get this out!)

Hi! Is your crib at the lowest setting it can go?
If so, I’ve heard if some moms putting a cover over the crib! However I know the toddler bed is an option but it can take a few weeks for them to get use to it, so if you go that route I’d baby proof as much as possible and use knob covers so they can’t escape
it is 😭 it’s been lowered for longer than I can remember. Friends suggested putting it all the way to the floor but with our crib there will be too much of a gap so not an option. I’ve seen the covers but I think those would give us more of a problem than anything. Just hoping for the best here! We baby proofed the crap out of everything so that should be okay and have a gate in the hallway so if he gets out the only place he can go is our room. We’ll see I guess!! Haha ahhhh 😅😂
