I don't have any little ones, but don't you just grab them by the belt and toss them in where the top would be (because it is off)? I hear they twirl around the roll bars like monkeys.

 

HA HA HAI am sure they will once the top does actually come off lol

 

Luts put something in there for him to grab onto.
Kids love climbing

 

I don't have many valid ideas. I don't like steps on a Jeep. Good grab handles, maybe a longer handle on each side to grab onto?

 

I have 4.5" of lift and 35's. My 5 year old climbs up the tire and over the tub into the back when the tops down. Not so easy now that the tops been up though.

 

I have a 2dr Rubicon with the factory sliders so no help there. I lift my 3 and 6 yo boys up to get in. My wife was happy when I put grab handles in, but after the move to the 3.5" RK lift, they became useless to her.

I should put a rope ladder in for the boys.

 

I dont have kids, but i have a rule: If you cant get in, you cant ride. Let the 8 yr old climb in, its only going to make him stronger.

 

my 7 year old can climb in by himself now, but I still often give him a boost. my 10 year old can get in by himself. Both utilize the rear grab handles. did you install those yet? they are must haves for kids. One of my first mods.

I havent seen them yet. where are they located?

 

I have 3.5 inches of lift and 35's and my 5 yr old hops right in, when I pick him up from school he climbs in with his backpack on and his lunch box in his hand faster than the kid in front of me can climb into his moms minivan or kia suv.

 

Same here!

 

My kids (3 and 6) use my Jeep like a playground. I have a hard time keeping them out.

 

i put a handle on the bar right above where the plastic trim starts (so its pretty low), my 6 year old grabs it and grabs the back of the seat and pulls himself in. im going to add src sliders as a step when i stick the 2.5" on

 

I've got the src and I'm only on a 2.5" lift. My 3 yr old uses them well grabbing his car seat. He climbs up the tire and over the top when it's down using the safari straps. I was going to get rid of them as you loose clearance, but I think I might modify them to be like the ace sliders. I like the steps too for strapping shut in the roof or taking the top down.

 

I have a RK 3.5" lift on my 4-door Rubi with 37" MTRs. My 3-1/2 year old son climbs in on his own using the tube I welded on my sliders. I only help him in and out when he is too tired to do it himself!

My 5 year old grandson uses the slider and the back tire as a ladder and gets in about 80% of the time. Sometimes he asks for help. My 7 year old grandaughter uses the grab handles and climbs right in.

 

I saw some guy in a lifted truck pull up to the front of a restaurant and grab cinder blocks for his grandpa to get in... I thought it was cute

soooo cinderblocks?

 

My six year old is on the short side but he climbs in using the seat belt. I'll still help him on the wet days when the Jeep is dirty. He hates it when I help him though.lolkids...

 

My 4 and 6 year old grand kids climb right in. But I have the Olympic reversible sliders. Before the sliders I used tie down straps looped through 6 inch long pieces of PVC pipe as stirrups. They were looped around the seat posts. I made them in the parking lot of home depot. Parts = PVC pipe, Tie down straps. and PVC cutter. You flip them under the seat when not in use.

 

Hmm, I like that one.

 

Kids that are too small to climb in, won't be too small for long.

 

I just got the RK 3.5 with 35" KM2's. The 4 year old doesn't mind getting help to get in just as long as he can jump out when we get there....

 

You could always get one of these...

Available here...

And then, to help you out with the Misses - get one of those bumper stickers that says "Forget the horse and the cowboy - I have a Jeep"

 

That's slicker than owl shit. I aint got kids but do have short wimmens tryin to climb in regularly... I do believe I will take that idea and the one with the strap around the seat bracket and run with it~ DIY style! Tack store here I come!!!

I'll report back in a week or two.

 

My 9 year old has no problems getting in and my 6 year old uses the bracket for the door latch as handle and pulls himself up, they both love riding on the JEEP and they want nothing to do with my wifes murano hahahaha'

Got pics of those pvc setups?

4" lift plus ACOS Pro Bumpstops = ~6" lift overall
40" tires

my 3.5yo and 5.5yo boys climb up the tires to the rockers


EDIT: I do have an EZ Foldz folding step stool for my wife... depending on what she is wearing.

We've got side steps, but still I added these "soft ties" I bought off ebay.

They make a nice handle for the girls to grab and pull themselves up.

I'd recommend the ones with a twist in one of the loops. The twist seems to make the loop stay open and easier to put your hand through.

 

I like it. Just ordered a pair.

 

i got an 11 yr old boy and 9 yr old girl and both have taken after there mom in the height dept. i put some cheap side steps on from jcwhitney. once they can get in and out without them or i trade up for a 4 dr. which may happen this coming spring, i am taking them off. i have watched them use the seatbelt like a rope. they would pull it out till it stops and start climbing. with the top off they will not under any reason use a door or the lack there of. they prefer to climb up the wheel and over the tub. fine with me that means i dont have to get out and let them in. will admit its kinda funny watching them.

 

I have a 2 yr old and I have to make sure to keep my doors shut , or he climbs right in and turns every knob , light , switch , vent and anything else he can do , he has been doing this for 6 months now and I have 3.5 in lift with 35's . If you just let them play around it , when sitting in driveway/garage , they will figure how to make it work , then when you need them to climb up , it will be second nature . Obviously make sure it is in park/parking brake is up , when allowing them to use the Jeep playground .

He does the same thing when I have my Starcraft 11rt camper popped out , he thinks its personal playground also , I just make sure all gas lines are shut down and he cant start anything . The hard part of allowing them play in the fun places is figuring out what is going to go haywire when you turn the ignition or flip the electric on . Wipers wiping , ac blowing , when want heat , turn signals are on . In camper , all the lights/stereo are on and I get lazy and just kill with flipping a breaker .
