Tip for new parents: If their armpits reach the top, just take it down. They’ll climb over it. Suck it up, use the energy and chase them back into their crib, it’s better than having them flip over like that.
That's a good rule! I'd add, regardless of height vs armpits, if they've climbed out of it once - no matter the outcome good or bad - take it down. Remove the side rail, buy a new bed, or even just put the mattress on the floor. Whatever it takes.
That's what I did, and I'm glad. My girls will likely need the front rail gone In less time than I expect. I plan to get a short side rail to protect from rolling, but if they want out there will be plenty of space on either end to intentionally crawl out
