Infant development is something that cannot be downplayed or ignored. For example, as soon as the child hits two years of age, they begin to want their freedom. The crib suddenly becomes a cage that they cannot wait to get out. At that moment, the parent should acknowledge the toddler’s emerging needs and get them a new bed. Beds that are fit for toddlers look like cribs, but with more advanced features to enable the child to have greater mobility with minimal assistance.
