baby question for a friend

They arent sure about switching him to a toddler bed since he is still so young and cannot walk all that much still.
I suggested a crib tent but not sure if that will help or not?

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Once she was better at walking, she moved into a bed with a guardrail.
