DS is 19 months and I feel like any day he's going to figure out how to climb out of his crib. Every morning when I go in to get him, he swings his leg up onto the crib rail, like he's going to climb over. I think it's only a matter of time before he figures out how to actually do it.
His crib is convertible, so we can either take off the front entirely, or we can put up the toddler rail.
I'm worried about what we need to do to make it safe enough to give him freedom. In the room there's the crib, a small dresser, a nightstand and a power recliner. I will have DH secure the dresser to the wall and I will unplug the recliner. I'm mostly worried about what to do with the night stand though. It has a lamp, a sound machine and a humidifier on it. I'm afraid if we leave stuff on the nightstand he'll knock things off of it and break them, but we need them in the room. I could maybe put the lamp on one of his shelves, but I don't think the other things would fit. I'm also worried that he'll try to open and close the drawer in the night stand and hurt himself, either by knocking it over or closing his hand in the drawer.
Maybe I'm being silly, IDK. He's pretty accident prone though, so I don't know that I can be too careful.
So what would you do in this case? Or how did you prepare to give your toddler freedom in their room?
