Do your kids ever try to climb this? I'm concerned about the horizontal bar, my daughter likes to climb.

I use it mainly for my dogs. I have had 4 and 5 year olds try to climb over and it fell over with them. They were not hurt, but I would say it depends on your child.

My daughter is 10 months and 27 inches tall. Could not climb it right now if she wanted to. I thought my dogs might try to jump over it... But so far this has been the perfect gate

Yes, that's how I store mine. Probably wouldn't suggest kids to climb all over it though : )

I'd be a little worried--it shakes back and forth a little when my daughter climbs up and down and she's a first grader, I wouldn't be confident about it being that sturdy at 200 pounds or more.

The climber is very stable sitting level. Both my 2 yr old grandsons climb onto platform together. However, they play with supervision and are not left alone on climber.

I don't recommend this for a kid climbing on it. It's good for holding towels, magazines, blankets, etc...but it's not stable enough for a kid to climb. Hope this helps!

I think so. My 6 year old and 3 year old use them on our climbing wall. You can also make it more challenging based on the grip of each climbing hold. I have an easier section for my 3 year old and a harder section for my 6 year old.

The idea is that he would climb up the short side, but my girls (also 7) don't. One has a slide out staircase and the other has a ladder attached to the short side. I even built one for myself-albeit larger, and I use two steps.

I have a 5 year old who sits nicely in it, but I always keep an eye out because he likes to sit high and I don't want him to fall off. Smaller kids I wouldn't but they do grow up.

Yes. I have had one daughter bouncing and the other sometimes crawls underneath. We haven't had any serious injuries but it could be possible.

My boys are fine with it. If you're uncertain about your little one, visit a local furniture store to see how your child manages to climb on and off. That's what we did. As for height, I don't think it's any different than any other bed. I do recommend purchasing a few more boards from the hardware store. Hope this helped!

I wouldn't recommend you not mounting it to a wall, kids like to climb and the weight on the front could make it tilt over

I don't see that being a problem. The slide is held down by a few screws and the monkey bars with some brackets, but they are not attached to any particular piece of wood that has to go on one side or the other. Honestly the monkey bars is only three bars, barely enough for any kid to even swing on before they are putting their feet back down. If I was to build it again I would just tell my husband to leave them off. The set comes with extra pieces and it would have been enough to place slats across that opening to close it up so no one would fall back. I hope this helped.

These bars are built very sturdy; however, as a child becomes heavier they will come up off the floor when the child makes a quick dismount. We do have a four section mat on top of the bottom of the bar braces. Further solutions would be placing sandbags on all four corners. All of these preventive actions prevents an unexpected disaster from happening. However; everything has its limits.

My kids are 2-1/2 and 4-1/2 they are my biggest one is able to buckle herself but not the little one. No they aren't able to get out on their own. I haven't teach them how. But if your daughter is 7 i am sure she could.

This bar is pretty sturdy- my daughter is 54 lbs... And my older son is 63 lbs, I wasn't sweating it when they both went on together- hope yhat helps!

I have this setup in my garage. I put placed the heavier items on the bottom for a little more sturdiness. It's works well so far. If your kids want to move bad enough, they will. You know how that goes. It's definitely not strong enough to climb on, but it's not that flimsy really. It's a great cheaper storage option. Hope that helps.

Hi there ,well, to be honest, i am heavy and my kids like to jump or play on the sofa.So the result was that we broke the main part. My husband tried to fix it.didn't work out.we kept a corner but it's not worth it.
