We plan to practice with her every six months or so to make sure she remembers it and how to correctly set it in the window, but honestly, there is some risk involved with her actually climbing out the window so I'm not sure I would want her doing that other than an emergency situation anyways, so I am ok that it is a one-time use product. ...
