Oh, I can't wait for the howls of derisive laughter from Pippa and Cindy!  Babygadget: Zewi Blanket

OMG- that is just brilliant! I would have bought one for #2 in a heartbeat! He left in the middle of the night a couple of times, went outside and made a mud pit in the backyard after he was put to bed, tried to grab the chandelier by standing on the table - I would have killed for one of those!
Come to think of it, I wonder if I could get one in his current size? |

I'm with the commenter... that has suffocation hazard written ALL over it.
Cindy, they actually make little mesh tents that go over the cribs now. 
Oddly enough, the only child of mine who ever went over the wall? Beanie. Of course, By the time Butter turns 2, she will have gotten to occupy the crib for the longest of any of my children, but who's really paying attention? |

I think if the sheet was really well attached to the mattress, it might be okay. Add in a set of the sheet suspenders to make sure the sheet is tight and secure. Up to a certain size of course - after a certain point even that would be no good.

I would love one of those! I swear Connor is the squiggliest kid I've met. Everyone comments on it. He's already trying to get over the baby gates and HAS gotten under the one we raised so the cat could still get through. I wouldn't actually use it, but that was definitely good for a laugh.

Just one question: how many ear plugs are included? This design is very reminiscent of Dr. Turtle's advice to pin the baby to the crib sheet with diaper pins. Through the sleep sack of course, not through the baby. Like I said, how many ear plugs?

Crib? What is this crib of which you speak? 
I had a crib for exactly one week. It took a friend's hubby three days to come over and set it up. I couldn't stop crying long enough to put the baby in the next night. The next night, he cried and banged his head on the bars. The night after that, he managed to pole-vault out of the blasted thing and onto the floor, and after that I demanded that the friend come backa nd take her #$%@!!! crib home with her.
My kids slept with me. Even the exscape artists. By the time #4 came along, I thought I was clever for filling a jar with pennies and tying it by its lid to the baby gate in case an escaping baby tried to climb to freedom. When I first found #4 downstairs, he was carrying the jar of pennies.  |

Just what, exactly, were the pennies intended to accomplish? I'm a little slow here.

Yep. Holding them very still while creeping down the stairs was just sneaky. |

I'm wondering how many additional pieces I'd need for Bug. | |
