When is a baby too old for a crib?

When the child begins to attempt to climb out of the crib or the child reaches the weight limit of the crib. Many manufacturers have a standard 35lb. weight limit. However, height can also be an issue with child safety. On average children transition from a crib to a toddler bed at some point between 2 to 3 years of age. Some parents have used Crib Tents in an effort to keep climbing toddlers in their cribs longer, however these tents have been recalled due to potential strangulation hazard.
