Prep Room to move from Crib to Bed?

foodislove · August 2018

Kiddo is starting to learn to climb, so we expect its only a matter of weeks before he figures out how to escape his crib. So far, we haven't done much baby proofing in terms of his room because hell, he's 2, he's always supervised in there. The only thing we've really got is the outlets are covered.

What do we need to do to prep his room for a transition to a toddler bed? Like, what should I be aware of that I haven't thought of before? Here's what I've got so far:

Table lamp to replace wobbly floor lamp
Bolt all the furniture to wall
Hide monitor cord behind furniture, put monitor up on the wall (currently just on a dress)
Replace blinds with magnetic ones (we have cords atm)
Shorten the curtain (should I just remove them?)

That sounds like a good start. You may need to do additional toddler proofing depending on what kinds of thing he likes to get into. Mine was a climber, so we had to basically clear off the entire top of the dresser and all the shelves.

If they fall out, is there a side table they can hit? pool noodle under bed or guard rail.
