[blindkid] From a crib to a bed?

[Sarah Dallis]

Hi everyone. My daughter is coming up on her 2 year birthday and she is
blind (there may be some light perception but not much). She doesn't walk,
talk, or crawl. (She's so close to walking and talking, but is not into
being on all fours to crawl or play.) She's getting a little big and I
would like to move her out of her crib, but I don't know what bed to get. I
can't switch her to a toddler bed because she'll fall out. Her TVI said to
get a full size mattress and put it on the floor so if she rolls or falls
off it's not a far drop. I talked to another parent who got her blind son a
futon that was low to the ground, pushed it into a corner in the room and
then put a pillow across the open side. But then again he knows how to get
off a couch, while my daugter will fall off the couch. I'm not sure what
the best option would be so I wanted to gather others opinons.

Thanks in advance
