One other danger to be aware of about switching from a crib to a bed. You don't know if your child will sleep walk until he/she has the freedom to do so. If your bedrooms are on the seond floor, there is a danger that your child may sleep walk, or just walk not quite awake yet, out of his/her room and fall down a staircase. It is safer to use a gate at the doorway to the room or the top of the stairs.
