@septca: I don't understand how these small kids are climbing out either!! Maybe it's because L isn't much of a climber so I'm just not seeing it firsthand, but it seems like there are some serious monkey kids out there!!

@shellio: AAHH!! They are monkeys!! Hahaha! I lost it when the (second from last??) baby opened the crib for the other baby, and then put it BACK up!

@shellio: those videos are crazy! Twins are trouble!!

@Pumuckl: wow! that's pretty cool....I wish cribs here in the US were made that way, seems like it would be a pretty easy way to keep toddlers from trying to climb over while still keeping them in the crib (unless there are some made in the US and I don't know about it?)

LO is 18 months and (knock on wood) has not even attempted to climb out. Which is a little surprising since she is quite the daredevil and climber in general.

He started trying around 14 months, and figured it out by 18. He now climbs out of the crib whenever he's up for the day or done with his nap. He can also climb into his crib.

We're in the market for a twin bed, though.

@Smurfette: He's always been an active climber, so if R loves to climb, you may be right. None of our friends have had their LO's climb out, but one kiddo just isn't very limber, and the others are more timid/cautious in general.

But it hasn't been an issue keeping him in when we put him down for bed since we have a video monitor and have made it clear that bed/naptime is not an option. He only climbs out when it's time to get up, which I don't mind, though I'd rather him not be climbing out at all for safety reasons.

Ugh. I don't know how long he had been trying for but he figured it out at 18 months. So now we have the front rail off his crib and a twin bed in there trying to transition. It could be worse but it hasn't been fun either.
