Our son started climbing out of his crib at 1 1/2, so to cut down on the black eyes and the threat of being arrested for child abuse, we moved him to a "real" bed. No problems were encountered. We bought a plastic slip cover for the mattres (for obvious reasons!). We also got a bed rail from Toys-(backward)R-Us. We removed the crib from his room. He does climb out alot of nites to sleep with us, but no "crib withdrawl" or anything like that was discovered. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "GORT...Klatu borada niktow" ...!{nsc,sun,hplabs,ihnp4}!amdahl!dwl10 [ The opinions expressedbe those of the author and not necessarily those of his most eminent employer. ]
