Arrrgh.

Mac figured out over the weekend how to beat the chlld-proof door handle locks we have installed to safeguard various areas of the apartment. Since he can climb over the playzone wall, this means that the only remaining safely contained area for him is his crib - till he figures that out, at least.

It's going to be a very long day.

Anyone know if they make childproof devices for creative baby engineers?

What we have is essentially a squeezable thing - push down a button while squeezing up on a handle. He's figured it out.

In that case, some of the wooden ones might be better, they're more fragile and complicated. Or you might be able to tweak the mechanism of the current ones to make the push button harder to depress. He doesn't have much strength or leverage at that angle, so just doing that might thwart him.
