I did this about a week ago to our crib. The way it's built there's no going back, so it was a permanent change. It worked GREAT. He spent 20 minutes just climbing in and out, and goes to bed several times a day.

That is, until last night. At around 3am I heard him scream on the monitor, and I went in to find his arm caught between the bars and him hanging with his butt about 3 inches off the ground. Luckily he wasn't seriously hurt, not even a bruise, but it could have easily been a broken arm or dislocated shoulder.

I've now taken the front panel off of his crib and moved all of the furniture out of the way so he doens't hurt himself if he falls out of bed. He's really not ready for a full-on toddler bed, and I thought this would be a great in-between stage. But it's really not safe, and now my crib is permanently damaged.
