[quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous]Her room is child proofed and I'm not concerned about her moving around her room on her own; her climbing out of the crib is not safe.  We also have a second child due soon so will ultimately want to transition her sometime in the next 6 months to have the crib available for the new baby and I'd rather start the transition now where we can get her used to the bed being in her room, practicing with naps for a few weekends (she's in daycare during the week), and then ultimately transitioning to sleeping in the bed at night but aren't yet under a time crunch to do so.

Trying to climb out and actually being able to climb out are 2 different things.  I don't think that's all that dangerous tbh, but I understand the perceived danger.

If you're cool with locking the door and letting her cry then you'll be fine.  Otherwise just expect some bad nights of her coming out of her room.  If it doesn't happen, great, but better to be mentally prepared for it.

As for bedding, we just put normal sheets on the bed, had a smaller blanket (4 x 4 feet maybe) and kept them in their sleep sacks for a bit.  I definitely wouldn't purchase any additional bedding.[/quote]
