So I now have an 18 mos climber/jumper (out of the crib) years ago I used a crib tent with both boys without any issues. When I went to buy one again I noticed that it has been recalled and no longer sold.

What is everyone doing with these escape artists?

Just to add I've read that transition to a toddler bed is ideal but she's 18 mos I have a special needs 6 yr old insomniac, work full time and I am 4 months pregnant! So you can imagine I just can't pull all nighters coaxing her back to the toddler bed [emoji26]

Sam's little twin over managed to hoist herself almost out of the crib at 16.5 months......since then she is in a sleep sack!!! My mom custom made one for my ds1, it has been used so much more for dd ;)

you could put a baby gate on the door so she can't go too far. I feel your pain though. DS3 has just started doing this but he's 2.

We did the baby gate with DS2. He was my escape artist too... So we put him in the toddler bed. He would scream when we closed the door (and could eventually reach), so we put a baby gate in the door and it was amazing! He'd get out of bed, but not out of the room.

Just made sure it was very securely baby proofed and he'd eventually go back to bed or sleep on the floor. But no crying like with the closed door. :)

Sleeping bag!! Make sure it's one without studs on the shoulders. My boys would stand up and push upwards to pop the studs and then climb out of their cot. I now use and love Bubbaroo sleeping bags (Australian brand but deliver overseas). IMO I wouldn't try a toddler bed until at least 2! Too hard!! [emoji37]

I second the sleep sack suggestion. My daughter sleeps in one every night and while she doesn't try to climb out of the crib, she can't walk in it at all so I doubt climbing would be successful.

So the sleep sac was a total fail, she takes them right off even bought the non zippered ones off, stripped that one off too! UGH!

The recalled crib tent is nowhere to be found and honestly don't think it would fit the crib I have now because the crib has a high back and it really only fits crib with even sides..

So Googling like crazy and all I found was the crib tent that I would have to order from an Australian company and pay for shipping from Australia??!! Goodness nothing in the whole USA with this product?? :hair: Not to mention it's $200 plus shipping from Aus... just great :(...Crib Tent- Crib Pop-up Safety Net- Certified SAFE at www.babycribsafetynet.com (http://www.babycribsafetynet.com/)

Oh my! Well I have not experienced this first hand but I would be inclined to make the transition to a cute toddler bed.

My MIL had this problem with my DH and had to transition him to a toddler bed at 10mo!! He slept much better and no more getting out of bed antics!!

FX and GL to you!! By the way, your daughter is gorgeous!

Can you imagine! This is not at night thank goodness only during the day, very scary when I log on while working and see this! Honestly if I put her in a toddler bed in her room she will rip out everything in her drawers I mean everything.. AND I thought GIRLS were sugar and spice and would be so much CALMER! HA! Was I wrong :(

Oh my, what a cheeky monkey!

I've just put 'crib tent' into Amazon.com and it has a few options there (I normally filter for 4+ stars and look what it shows). Are any of those usable? x

You need to put her in a toddler bed and a gate at her door. You don't want her to climb out a fall and break an arm or leg or something more serious. Addy climbed out at 22 months. We had her in a toddler bed from that point on, and now in a twin bed at almost 2 1/2.

Thanks TRL! Didn't she wreak havoc in the room before finally going to bed? Open drawers, bang on door etc?

She is a terrible sleeper! I lay with her till she goes down.[emoji17] you definitely have to fool proof her room. That way you can leave her in there and she can't get hurt.
