When a child can climb out of the crib, it's time for a regular bed. If you're worried about your child falling out of the bed, they sell bedrails that you can insert under the mattress.
Usually you should start thinking about a regular bed when the child begins walking because climbing isn't far behind...one of my children was climbing before he began walking!

Congrats on having an adventurous child!
My neighbor loaned me bedrails for my kids but they run anywhere from $35-80. I also got a standard twin bed for the boys when they moved from the crib to bed because kids quickly outgrow those smaller beds. A friend of mine didn't have bedrails so she used pillows on the floor and it worked well. My sister used a beanbag chair. Just about anything will do as long as it cushions his fall, should he roll out of bed.

We also went pretty much straight from the crib (or in the case of my boys a playpen) onto a twin mattress. With my middle son we moved his crib mattress on the floor for a while, as it seemed to help him. With him, he was 18 months old, and he would have still slept in the playpen, but his brother was born and needed it more :)
My youngest moved straight from the playpen to a double bed with his brother, but he was slower developing physically and was over 2 before he outgrew the playpen.

Watch it, next thing you know he'll be half grown! Enjoy him while he's little!
