Hey Shana, When Vivi was a baby she kept getting out of her Xpen. It was 24 inches high and she was really tiny. She is not a climber either and to this day will not jump on the couch unless aided by a stepping stool. Anyway, I decided to hide and see how she was doing it and the little rat climbed to the top and then hurled herself to the floor. She sat there a second and then was so pleased with herself. I know you are dealing with a baby gate but maybe you can put another one above the one you have.Not exactly House Beautiful but at least Chloe will be safe. We ended up with a 36 inch xpen and she never attempted to climb that one. Hope you find a solution soon.
