This morning our 13m old fell head first out of his cot, which is at the lowest level. I think he may have been reaching for something but he was definitely leaning & reaching when he fell, so a sleeping bag won't prevent it happening again. We have put his cot mattress on the floor and will see how it goes but I don't hold out much hope. Anyone have any suggestions where such a young toddler can sleep safely? Thanks!

My daughter has always been tall for her age, and around a similar age to your LO she started to get a leg over her cot rail!


We went for a futon instead, and super-babyproofed the rest of her room in the case of her getting up to play before I was up (which happened a lot). She slept on a futon until she was three, then we got a toddler bed.

one of ours did this too, but it turned out to be a one off. We perservered as we weren't quite mentally prepared for no cot, and she hasn't climbed out since. Worth giving it another chance before you abandon cot completely. He may well do it again, but worth trying?

we 'restrain' our climbing toddler (2yo nearly) during bedtime with the use of a sleeping bag. I don't know about the other ones but he can't get the bambino marino one off by himself (yet...) and he can't lift a leg high enough (or stand easily enough) to get over the cot with it on.


I have to emphasise we didn't plan it that way - we just put him in the sleeping bag because he's a wriggly little one and would wake up having kicked blankets off etc. But I do have to say it's been remarkably convenient....Mwah mwah mwah....


(and I should add that he likes his sleeping bag and asks to go into it - so I don't feel too bad about it)

Thanks all for the advice. He is already in a sleeping bag so I think our best bet for an immediate (and cheap) solution is to use the travel cot as it is very deep. He tends to lean forward over the side of the cot if the wants to get out or is upset, plus it is difficult to drop everything immediately and run to him whenever he wakes just in case he goes over the side again.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
