Toddler frustration

A couple more issues I've run into:

Sometimes if the toddler bed is pushed up against a wall, the parent will act like they can't get to the bed. It seems like they pre-choose a side, and then cancel if they can't reach the side they chose. It seems like which side they pick initially is random. But after that, they always pick that side. So once they decide they can't reach the bed (because the side they chose is against a wall), they always say they can't reach it, no matter how many times you try. Moving the bed away from the wall, or even pushing it up against the opposite wall, so that the previously blocked side is now accessible has fixed the problem in my game many times. It's really weird.

Bathrooms are sometimes the worst for routing issues. The sim washing the toddler need to kneel next to the faucet end of the tub, so make sure that's not blocked by a sink or toilet or something.

If there are two caregivers for the toddler (for example, two parents) sometimes they both try to do something with the toddler at the same time and the game cancels the action for one or both of them. Make sure one of the adults is busy doing something else before having the other take care of the toddler.

Edit to add one more idea.

Is there a stereo on the lot? Sims (toddlers included I think) will wake up and get out of bed if the stereo is playing, even if it is in another room. So that's one more thing to check.

Thank you, everyone

I'll rearrange the furniture, and I did try turn autonomy off, which helped a bit. My broke sims bit the bullet and hired a useless nanny and had to fire her after she left the toddler stuck in the highchair :O and ignored the other one. The second nanny was amazing and cooked for the family! They had twins, so much for just two kids for their family lol as they already had one

I was tempted to run away and leave them to it and play another household until they got to child stage, but they only have one day to go, and I managed to get the parents to use their leave time and take shifts sleeping. Man what a mission!

They survived! They are now children, lol

Congratulations on the survival of your family @Sablesasha XD

I've found it's easier to play as the toddler, and have them ask a caregiver for what they need. It seems to result in far fewer interrupted actions. This seems to be especially true with toddlers who have the Wild trait, as it can be a challenge just keeping up with them, never mind dealing with gameplay quirks.

Don't use a highchair, in fact remove it from the lot altogether. Have a Sim serve a meal and leave it on the counter. Call to meal. The Toddlers are able to grab food for themselves, especially when called. I play with autonomy on, since I play with large households. Louise Cantrell, is the worst mother I have ever had. It's surprising her four older kids turned out so well. Adrian came as a surprise. Perhaps, she's burnt out. I do recall feeling overwhelmed (going through that season women go through) that my older two kids were in their Teens, or just about there and I still had one in grammar school. I think it's a nice way to get a female through this change. I no longer had baby-fever. I almost didn't want to be Mom anymore. LOL. Kids are all fine, no worries. That youngest went on to serve his country in Iraq.

I don't do what was suggested by removing autonomy for a specific Sim, but yeah. It can be hard. Thankfully the four eldest in my game are all Teens, and they see to the Toddler for the most part. Phew. He just aged up. Yay! Another thing that does help, is giving Sims the Family Trait. I've discovered these are far more committed parents. Hang in there, Toddlerhood isn't forever.
