I am team crib til college. Change my mind

@neverbeenalone I have a theory it's better to transition before they challenge the crib, because at that point, they're going to challenge any sleep space. When we switched our toddler, she didn't even try to get out of the bed, but she hadn’t been trying to escape our crib, either, so it didn’t occur to her to leave bed without us.

To this day (she's now almost four) she still waits for us in bed in the morning.

@dartee We did this also and my three year old is the same way

@neverbeenalone The 35 in thing is not just for climbing but because they are likely to be where they might just lean over the edge and fall out due to gravity if it's hitting their belly button level. Same reason for adjustable platforms on learning towers.
