Which toddler-age client height indicates it is no longer safe to sleep in a crib?

The height indicating that it is no longer safe for a toddler to sleep in a crib is generally around 36 inches. At this height, a toddler has likely reached a point where they might be able to climb out of the crib, posing a risk for falls and injuries.

Cribs are designed to safely contain infants and toddlers up to a certain height and weight, which correlates with their development stage. As toddlers grow, they become more physically capable and may start to attempt climbing over the crib railings at heights closer to 36 inches. Standards for crib safety emphasize that the crib sides must be high enough to prevent a child from falling out, and when children reach this height, their ability to escape becomes a significant safety concern.

Thus, once toddlers reach around 36 inches in height, it is advisable to transition them to a bed or another sleeping arrangement to prevent the risk associated with climbing out of the crib.
