I’d move her out of the crib now and calmly return her to her new bed whenever she gets up. Once she can climb out, repeated climbs put her at risk of falling, even at 22 months. The [American Academy of Pediatrics](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/healthy-living/sleep/Pages/Big-Kid-Beds-When-To-Make-the-Switch.aspx) recommends a toddler bed or a crib mattress on the floor as options.

Make the whole room safe for her to move around unsupervised. Anchor furniture, secure windows, remove cords and small objects she can reach, and block access to stairs. If you use a floor mattress, keep it away from gaps where she could become trapped.

Keep her usual bedtime routine. When she gets up, briefly check whether she’s uncomfortable or needs a diaper change, then gently guide her back: “It’s nighttime. Time for bed.” Keep these returns brief and uneventful, and avoid playtime or lengthy negotiations. You may have to repeat this many times at first. That approach follows the [AAP’s bedtime guidance](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/healthy-living/sleep/Pages/Big-Kid-Beds-When-To-Make-the-Switch.aspx).

Of your two options, I’d choose returning her to a safe bed. I wouldn’t keep putting her back in a crib she can climb out of or make “play until you collapse” the routine. You can expect her to rest at night without expecting her to fall asleep immediately.
