pat king (response 5) touched on a point that I feel works really well
in converting a child from crib to bed.  The first step we took was to
put Becky (then 19 months) on a mattress on the floor (no frame or box
spring).  She loved it, because she could get in and out "all by myself".

After a month or so, we added the box spring underneath (still no frame).
With a bit more effort, she could still climb into bed by herself, and
was used to the size of the bed (i.e., her subconscience knew where the
edge was).

We don't plan to add the frame until she is big enough to get in by herself--
probably at about 4 years.

P.S: Only one instance of falling out of bed so far.  But two nights ago,
we woke up to a meek "help.  help." coming from Becky's room.  I went to
investigate, and found that she had got under the sheet, and was laying on
the edge of the sheet so she couldn't get out!  Is this unique?
