A floor bed worked great for DD1. We transitioned DD2 at 16 months recently and she went into a twin bed that's pretty high off the ground. I put a small round long pillow under the sheet to keep her from rolling off the open end. She's never fallen out in the almost 3 months she's been in it.

We went to a floor bed- a twin sized memory foam mat on the floor. Then we worked our way up to a captain's bed by moving the mat onto a mattress, then a mattress and a box spring, then the bed. He fell out twice so we borrowed a railing from a friend. I don't think he really needs the railing that much though and I kind of hate it.

She was older- 2.5- but we went straight to a queen bed. We just put extra pillows along the open side and she only ever fell out twice, and one of those times I'm pretty sure she was trying to climb out. But a queen size means she is further from the edge than in a twin. (We alr au had the queen bed in there from before she was born).
