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.
