Next weekend we're moving our DD (just turned 2) to a toddler bed - DS is due in August and we need the cot. Would have preferred to have waited a bit longer but hey ho!
I know she will be a wanderer and we will need to contain her in her room. There's nowhere upstairs apart from door frames where we can put a gate, including the landing. In every area there's always something in the way (radiator, door, handrail etc).
When your LO moved to a bed, did you use a safety gate on their door or keep the door shut? She can't open the door as the handle is really quite high up (it's like this on all of the upstairs doors, no idea why!) so closing the door seems like a good option to me, less faffing about. Plus if her door isn't completely shut then it swings open, yo can't just leave it open an inch or so. So if we had a safety gate then the door would be pretty open and she'd probably wake up when we went upstairs or the cat was having crazy time.
Just wondering if I am missing a major problem with having the door shut? Thanks!
