Climbing out of the crib
So my DS latest trick is climbing out of the crib when he doesn't want to be in there anymore. He is 21 months and I was hoping to wait a lot longer for him to go into a bed. Any suggestions on getting him to stop. He does it so quietly too. I am just nervous that he will get hurt.

Re: Climbing out of the crib
Any other thoughts. I have put him in his crib 5 times already tonight and he keeps climbing out. He used to go to bed at 7:30 on the dot without any problems.

Re: Climbing out of the crib
Im pretty sure the onlt thing they make is what the PP suggestied - Ive seen that in many posts on here before....a mesh tent that is put on top of the crib to keep them in there. I think its that or toddler bed time!

Re: Climbing out of the crib
We recently went through the same thing with our son. Unfortunately we have a sleigh style crib and the crib tent won't work for us 
We started bringing him into our room at night when he figured out how to open the door - crazy stuff at this age!
We finally gave in and ordered him a twin bed and we are waiting for that to arrive... He has stopped climbing out as often - i guess the thrill has worn off.
If the crib tent works for you I heard it can be good for at least another 6 months of crib time...
GL to you!!

Re: Climbing out of the crib
When my kids did it, I just switched to a regular bed. Both my older kids were in beds by 21-22 months. Just make sure you super duper baby proof the room and get a gate for the doorway at night so he can't roam. I'm not ready for this with #3! He's a climber just like his brother & sister so I think the time might be coming soon for his first climb out too.

Re: Climbing out of the crib
My son was 19 mos when he started to climb out of his crib and when I asked my ped what I could do he suggested the tent to go over the crib. However I can't tell you how it works because I felt bad using it so I bought a toddler bed and gate so he couldn't get out of his rm. Also kept the monitor in it so I would hear him if he woke.
