DC age and Crib Level Question?

Hi ladies - first time mom with no clue here so forgive me if this is a stupid q. My crib has four levels - if DS is 4.5 mos what level should it be at? I put it at the second level down so one level below the "newborn" level but there really isn't much of a difference. The crib does not come with any guidelines as to what ages to move it...i called the store and they asked if this was my first child and told me i could prob find the answer in a baby book

TIA

DS rolls so the crib is set a the 2nd setting. I lowered from the 1st setting I used when he was a NB.

I will lower to a lower setting when DS will be able to stand.

It's not based on age, but "ability". Like AP mentioned, lower it when they get to the next stage. Crawling, standing, climbing.

DS is just 8 mos old. His crib is at the second to lowest level, b/c he has started pulling himself up using the bumpers, railings and he was using the rainforest music thingie, until we took it out!
