At that age. I really don't think that anything will work. Our two year old was, and still is, just like yours. He just likes to climb. Now granted, he does now limit it to standing in chairs, climbing over the back of the sofa. Which he has taken a few tumbles from. As much as we try to stop, discourage, distract him from these activities. It seems that he is learning on his own not to do something that will result in pain. Falling hurts.. and sometimes it takes little boys longer to learn this. Heck.. I'm 35 and I'm am still learning that.
I know it is nearly impossible to be there every second. I know this sounds weird. But this is something I have been thinking about for some time. (I still have this to go through with our 4 month old also.) We really only have 4 chairs that I really object to him standing on. Because of their height, and proximaty to dangerous things in the kitchen. Ok see if you can picture this. Have you ever seen the bird houses that have the large skirts on the to keep out the squirrels? It is a large piece of plastic that is tapered. The same idea of the dog collar that keeps them from scratching.What if something could be wrapped around the base of the chair and would be easily removed. Or better yet, put that on the kid. But reverse it. It could even be used to catch food. Yay.. no more sweeping up after them. Just turn them upside down over the trash can. Ok.. now that is just silly..
