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.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
