Yeah, we ended up having to baby proof the room for curious toddlers. </p> <p>@kitty: We ended up just moving the changing table and diapering supplies to the guest bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771379 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 18:47:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2771379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@muffinsmuffins: @mrsbubbletea: ours is my dresser from when I was young too! It's so heavy that I wasn't really worried about her climbing it and it's never been a problem. Basically once she was out of the crying she wanted to come out and see us, not explore in her own room. We had the bed next to the crib and she did climb in and out of the crib to the bed though. Not exactly what I wanted but not too dangerous either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771375 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 18:15:58 +0000 DesertDreams88 2771375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting, hadn't thought of this! Our changing table has a large surface - 4 ft long, 3 ft deep. It won't fit anywhere else and my ILs who babysit can't easily bend low or kneel change LO, and there will be another LO hopefully in February so we need to keep it around anyway. So I guess we just anchor it down and hope that he doesn't climb + jump off! It's only 3 ft tall and there's good carpeting, so I don't think it would be horrible at this point, but definitely not desirable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771346 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 12:10:09 +0000 Littlebit7 2771346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid climbs onto the change table regularly. We have a pbk anywhere chair next to it so she climbs right back down again. It's actually great now...I'm 6 months preg and I often don't have to lift her to change her. </p> <p>She's fallen off once climbing on her own..but in the vein of natural consequences, she hasn't fallen again.<br /> It is the IKEA 2x4 open shelf bookshelf. The kallax I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771336 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 10:04:37 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2771336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@muffinsmuffins: me too! My dresser as a kid I mean :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771333 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 08:47:43 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2771333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our change table is just my dresser from when I was a child and I want to keep it in there so we bought furniture straps off amazon and bolted it to the studs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771325 Sat, 02 Sep 2017 04:13:23 +0000 kitty 2771325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put the change pad on the floor when DS got strong enough to flail around and it became dangerous for him to be at a height. Is it an option for you to do the same and just have a diaper caddy or something that you grab from a closet or high shelf when it's change time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771307 Fri, 01 Sep 2017 21:26:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2771307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to empty R's room of everything she could climb once I put her in a toddler bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbable-changing-tables-and-the-toddler-beds#post-2771301 Fri, 01 Sep 2017 20:21:59 +0000 BSB 2771301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are still using a changing table and it's one that the kids can climb, what happened to it when your kid transitioned out of the crib? </p> <p>I don't really want them climbing it. Especially </p> <p>Did you move the changing table out of the room?</p> <p>Did you stop using the changing table? </p> <p>Did you child proof it to prevent climbing? (If so, how?)</p> <p>Is there another idea I'm not thinking of? </p> <p>We aren't close to potty training. </p>
