How?

[LuFins Dad]

Not a Cleveland Indian Thread…

How is a 32” tall toddler escaping a crib where the sides come up to the same height as his eyes. There is nothing to climb on, the slats are vertical, and the head and foot boards are taller than him. This kid has a 50% chance of tripping over his own feet crossing the room, but yet he is Spider-Man when it comes to his crib…

Determination. Lower the mattress.

Put him in a cage where he is enclosed on all six sides, not just five like a crib.

It is at the lowest level…

That's sooo 19th century! Try something more modern:

Do you hear a THUD when he lands on the ground? I'm sure he's just pulling himself up and using his legs to push off of the vertical slats until he gets a foot over.

What 89th said. See Youtube for shows about babies climbing out of cribs. With the added piquancy of videographers aiming rock-steady vidcams at the babies as they risk life and limb going over the side.

Agile little moneys, they are.
