We had a mozzie problem at the old house and had mosquito nets on all the beds (and screens on all the doors/windows and all gaps filled, nfc how they got in - the town has no mains water so they are breeding in poor people's uncovered rainwater tanks) and DD#2, being the sort of baby that makes noise in her cot instead of sleeping, would pull the net in between the bars. It still kept the bugs out but there'd be these huge wads of mozzie net in the cot.
I can't comment on how they work with a toddler, we have no screens on some windows in this house AND no mosquitos, we have mains water here and people here earn a lot more so what tanks people do have are modern sealed ones.
ETA: ours was on a large plastic hoop, and attached to the ceiling with a very large and solid eye screw right into a joist. It was hanging by a plastic chain and attached at both ends with a clip from the rigging section of the hardware store, so if bubs swung on it the only thing that would be breaking would be the actual tulle of the net itself. We had 14 foot ceilings so we needed the chain up top.
