Footage has emerged of a two-year-old climbing out of his crib after only one failed attempt.

The video, shot by the toddler's mother on May 5 in Charlotte, NC, USA, shows how he managed to lift himself up onto the changing table before he successfully lowers himself down to 'freedom'.

"My 2-year old kept escaping his crib at night without making a sound," the mother wrote online.

"He keeps practicing his new climbing skills and after a lot of failed attempts he is now seeing a lot of success," she added.
