He isnt even 20 months old yet and not even 2 foot 8 inches. Guess I get to build his bed today. In other news the wife, no pics you sick fucks, made him this for the 31st. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a285/2000Z3M/Mobile%20Uploads/20161017_085438_zpsog47cpyi.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a285/2000Z3M/Mobile%20Uploads/20161017_085434_zpsxbqhyl4k.jpg View Quote Your life is about to get even more exciting. |

First, that is one seriously cool costume, love it
And two, you're lucky you made it to 20 months. I had one kid climbing out before 18 months, and one night I spotted him and caught him as he fell because a foot got hung up. Kids are awesome. |
|
Mine's 2 and a half and hasn't even tried. I know he can but I'm not telling him that.
|
|
When my kids started that I just pulled the front section off and let them get in and out on their own. My back was much happier, and I didn't have to buy a real bed right away.

Cool costume.
Turn that shit off your TV......you are infecting his mind. |

I all of a sudden hear this screaming one morning and run in his room and he was stuck at the top and couldn't get down. He hasn't done it since. |

Has he started taking his diaper off by himself yet?
That's when the real fun starts. |

Our crib, yiu can take the front off and it makes a toddler bed. He started climbing out at about 18 months or so. He busted his ass real good one night when he fell in the process. So here is me and the sammich maker, up after bedtime removing the front of his crib. We knew it was time.

Today he climbed out when i was in the room but i cought him befor he fipped. |

Youngest Son, aka "The Bear", figured it out almost as soon as he could walk. One night he piled up all of his stuffed toys in a corner of his crib, climbed up and went over the railing onto our bed. He then rolled across the bed until he could slide to the floor, and then surprised us by suddenly appearing in the living room while we were watching TV.
I'm just glad he picked the right corner, as the drop to the floor from the crib was a lot higher and less soft. |

My son is 18 months and just learned how to crawl out of his crib. Bought a $50 toddler bed on Amazon and he loves it. So far he hasn't tried to open up the door to his room to escape.

Barb wire the perimeter. Once he is able to get out he will be ready for high school, college at the latest.

I have an electric fence box that I can loan you. You'll have to get your own wire.

Time for a toddler bed. We had to use one of these for a while with our oldest until she started sleeping through the night. http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/tru_prod_images/Safety-1st-Twist-&-Grip--pTRU1-5745089dt.jpg View Quote This |

Run wire along the top of the rail and put a low voltage through it ... problem solved.

When my twin brother and I were babies, we slept in cribs on either side of the bedroom. Our mom would put us to bed with a bottle each at night. She'd find us in the morning with two bottles in one crib, none in the other. Whichever one it was, one was climbing out of the crib overnight, stealing the other's bottle, and climbing back into his own crib.

The Today show? are you trying to turn him lib? Turn that shit off.
ETA: cool costume. |

Time to get a new "big boy" bed.
Do a search for "<his favorite cartoon> toddler bed" in Google, spend the $50-100 and take apart the crib, you might want to keep it for the next one. |

My daughter never tried. My son was going over the side by 18 months like a spider monkey. We had a full sized bed in the room and we'd find him sleeping in it in the mornings.
So we just child proofed his room and told him he could sleep in the bed if he stayed in his room. If we caught him out of the room we put him in his crib and watched him on a baby monitor. If he tried to climb out again we told him via the monitor to get back in the crib. A few days later he learned to stay in his room . Or just flip the crib over either way works |

Mine hasnt done it and is over 2. He likes his crib but could easily get out if he wanted to. Im still worried about waking up with a little hand tapping my head at 3 am...
Cute costume! |

Our oldest daughter only did it once. It was a Friday, and we had already planned a trip to IKEA on Saturday to get her a 'big girl' bed. I was in my office while she was supposed to be taking a nap, and I turned around to a 'Hi Daddy!'
Still have no idea how she did it, and how she didn't fall, because there was nothing soft to land on around the crib. |

Wait till they start wandering out of their room in the middle of the night.
I had to install a locking door knob in reverse on my youngest kids room after one late night escapade. Ended up waking up to the sound of a huge crash. She threw a heavy wooden bathroom step stool down the stairs. It busted through the drywall. No idea how long she was up running amok prior to that. She had every light on downstairs and every kitchen cabinet door she could reach open. Luckily she wasn't able to reach the deadbolt on the front door. |

our oldest had been put to bed in her crib one night, wife got a phone call, I was vegging out on the TV. The kid came running out of her room. I looked at the wife and said looks like we need to buy a bed now. She was about the same age as your son.

I had three that are grown now. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy door latches and mount them near the top of the outside doors. You may want to peg the windows as well. We were woken up several times by our neighbor around 6 am bringing back our 2 year old who had figured out those child proof door knob things. We lived within 1 block of a busy main road and I shiver to think of what could have happened to him had our neighbor not intercepted him. After securing the doors, he figured out how to open the bedroom window and escape that way. I finally had to use wood screws to block the windows from opening more than a couple of inches. The joys of parenthood

Went through the same with my twins who decided they didn't want to sleep in cribs anymore. We were lucky they didn't get hurt on the way down. We immediately switched the convertible cribs into toddler beds even though the timing was terrible.. If the kid has climbed it once they will climb it again.
ETA: My two decided they didn't like being separated at night and decided to make a jailbreak. They've been sleeping side-by-side ever since. |
