He sleeps 1.5 hours and then you are leaving him alone in the crib for another 30 minutes? Or he sleeps an hour and you are letting him fuss? If he has slept 1.5 hours he probably slept all he needs to and you need to get him up. My kids sleep on a mat from very young (as young as 6 months), and around 1 they learn they do not crawl off the mattress until I get them up. Right now the 20 month old is laying on her mattress looking at me, but not crying, because nap isn't over yet. I think you should switch him to napping with the older kids and teach him to stay on the mattress when he's done sleeping.
