Now that she can break free of the crib, our life is hell. She won't sleep and it's impossible to baby proof everything. Has anyone tried the crib tents? Do they work? It looks to me like she could still escape pretty easily. HELP!!!

honestly it is dangerous for her to be climing out of her crib. she could fall on her head. I would move her up to a toddler bed now.

I think it is time to get her a toddler bed. If she is breaking free, I don't think a net will help, It might just be dangerous. When she is out of her crib, maybe child proof one area, put up your baby gates, and leave her to play in the one area. I have a daughter who is now four, and we made the living room area the safe area. You can choose any room in your home. Good luck.Before you know it she will be talking back, and telling you she can do it herself. This time will pass sooner than you think.

well I hate to have to tell you this but, its just the beginning. Its time to get a toddler bed. she could really hurt herself if she falls out the wrong way. Ok our daughters love to climb. we have put locks on all of the doors except for their bedroom to limit what they can get into. I also find that I have to put my kitchen chairs into our bedroom and lock it so they dont pull them up to the counter and climb up on top. they get pretty fast and its impossible to be with them every min. you might be folding laundry and they might be messing up in a different room. Im not too sure about crib tents they might work. well good luck with your exploring little girl, shes learning every day.

I used the crib tent for my son and it was fantastic!!! It worked great. So many people put their babies in beds once they climb out, but in my opinion, all you are doing is making it easier for them to escape their bed. Better to wait until they are older and you can reason better.
Just an FYI too, a friend of mine got one on ebay, much cheaper! Good luck!

PLEASE don't use a crib tent.
My friend's toddler died b/c he got partially out of the tent - his head got pinned and he got stuck partially over the rail.
His blood supply to his brain was cut off from his neck being pinned and then he lost consciousness and eventually suffocated from the weight of his chest.
Put your baby in YOUR room on a mattress on the floor.
Safest bet.

she is 19 months, time to get her a toddler bed, she could hurt herself in a crib now, you can't keep her prisoner, you have to get up with her, get a monitor or something, she is way to big for a crib

The more complex the trap the more dangerous it will be when your child escapes it.
maybe its time for a toddler bed and some discipline.
Some negotions work bettwer than others...go to sleep never works......put your head on your pillow works 80 percent of the time.....toss in a story ..a drink of water and a song...and they will usualy stay put til morning when they come running in and yell wake up! wake up!

drop her matress to the lowest setting. and spank her bottom you need to punish her when she does this and its also time to buy a twin bed and rail and put her in it. she can get hurt or even killed climbing out of her crib

Sounds like she is ready for a real bed.
