Switching to toddler bed

Maria • Baby boy born May 22nd 2019 ❤️

I need advice, my son has woken up screaming 2 times now because he gets his leg stuck in the front part of his crib in between the slats, it scares me everytime so I feel like I should just switch him over to a toddler bed and take off the front, (there’s walls on the other 3 sides of his crib so he can’t get his limbs through) does this mean it’s time to switch him over? I’m so nervous to switch him any advice or tips are welcome! 😭
