When I was 18 months old, I jumped out of my crib and broke my leg. I was in a full leg cast from toe to crotch. Other than stories that are still told, I have no recollection of it. The good thing about that age, is the baby is not yet potty trained and can still go in the stroller.

My niece who is not quite 2 1/2 years old, fell and got a hairline fracture on her femur bone. She was in a full leg cast (all the way up to her hip) for almost 5 weeks over the summer. After the first week, she adapted well to it and was able to get around on her own doing something like an army crawl. It didn't seem to bother her.
