Anyone use a crib tent?

Shaina

I am thinking of going this route as one of my girls likes to throw her blankie out for attention yet NEEDS that damn thing to sleep (like a paci)  Seriously, after the 4th time today at  naptime, I stopped going up there ot give it back and she did not nap, just looked at it on the floor.  My other daughter does not sleep with anything and slept through this whole fiasco today.  She hasn't done this in a while but if it continues, I am thinking crib tent--but I'd have to put it on both cribs.  As they are approaching 2, I am wondering if this will freak them the F out?  One of mine is chill and the other is more high strung.  

Anyone use this or try this?   TIA!!

We use a crib tent but because my son is a climber. We've had it on there for months  with great success. His pacis do fall out the sides but there is a crib tent with a breathable mesh bumper attached (wish we would've known!)

We just put it up for my 17 month old.  He is starting to try to climb out and we learned from DS1 not to wait.  It doesn't seem to bother him at all.

do you think you could secure the blanket to one of the crib rails?  thread it with a tie, like the kind that tie bumpers to crib rails.  GL.

actually, its not just a bumper - it goes UNDER the crib and the whole side is meshed.

i honestly had no idea that they had crib tents that did NOT have the whole mesh netting. 

anyway, OP, we've used them for both kids older kids. and it was easy breezy and useful.

we use one and love it. it goes under the mattress.  I think it's called Crib Tent II and you can get it at buy buy baby.

Thank you thank you!

Wish we could tie it to the crib but it won't solve the problem.  She likes to hold it, run back and forth in her crib with it and chew on it while she rolls around and sleeps with it...it is also not big so it would be hard to have it tied and for her to have it while she sleeps.

 Ok, I am getting a little more confident with this as a possible option.  Which one would ya'll recommend as the best one to keep her blankie with her?   lol   and thank you!!!
