My toddler keeps climbing out of the crib. Should I switch to a bed?

If your toddler is consistently climbing out of the crib, it's a safety concern and time to transition. Lower the mattress first if possible. When switching, put the mattress on the floor or use a low toddler bed with guardrails. Keep the room childproofed since they'll be free to roam.
