We've got him in the pack n play for the immediate future. We're expecting a new side rail from the manufacturer and will see how that goes, but he does well in the PNP, so why rock the boat? It's very foolish to worry that he's sleeping in the "wrong" kind of bed for more than an occasional thing, and thank you for providing perspective on that. I must remember: he's SLEEPING. And for that, when it happens, I am wildly grateful, no matter the location. Elle, Thanks for the advice. We’ve got him in the pack n play for the immediate future.

My last child was 18 months when the crib finally disintigrated, and Bowman decided he prefered the pack n play over the toddler bed. I put a small stool next to it and told him he was free to climb in and out of it anytime the stool was there. I would remove the stool after I put him in bed, and put it back in the AM when I got up. I only had to rescue him from the window sill a few times, but he stayed in that thing until I forced him from it after he turned 3. I feel I got my money's worth.
