When is it safe to move a floor bed against the wall? My daughter is 18 months old and has been sleeping on a floor bed for approximately two months. The mattress is firm and contained within a bed frame that has no sides. Thank you.

There is no exact age/time when child’s bed should be removed from next to the wall.
The concern is the risk of child becoming wedged between mattress & wall.
Refer to safety information & link to “Cot to Bed” brochure .
