I am concerned about the hard postings at the corners. My baby is crawling&amp; pulling himself up and fall back. Anyone have a probl. w. baby hitting it?

No problems. There are no sharp edges and this has not been a problem with my grandson who is also crawling around, pulling himself up, etc. I continue to be very happy with this item!

No...i found this product useless...it only elevated head at best which worried me more than anything because babies airway should remain neutral and she kept sliding down anyways or turning sideways. I found this product useless and dangerous. Mine still sleeps in rock n play and she's 5 months old. I. Love it because she stays in place and doesn't slide down. Good luck! Hang in there

Hi Ellen, we didn't have any problem at all. As our bedrooms are on the 2nd storey & living/dining rooms/kitchen on the 1st storey, we are able to monitor our baby whenever we left him alone. :)

Honestly I have not had any issues with my child being cut or hurt at all. She has had it since 9 months old when she was cruzing and holding on to stuff to walk. I however have stubbed my toe on it several times. I guess if you wanted to be safe (I get it I was there too, baby proofing) maybe a thick tape from Home Depot, I know craft stores actually have foam tape. I guess it really depends on your comfort level, yeah I thought the edges were sharp but it really has not been an issue, very much like the toys you see in libraries and doctor offices.

I know it was hard for my Daughter to bounce until she was at the 2nd setting. I would recommend putting your foot at the edge if she is facing you and bounce her or gently tapping the top portion if she is facing away from you. If you have a favorite toy bar that defiantly worked for me.

Thank you, curlygirl. As for leaving a toddler alone with a newborn, obviously not -- just taking every precaution necessary to prevent any mishaps ;) I appreciate your feedback on this sleeper as we decide what things to get for our baby on the way :)

I never had a problem getting the elastic around the bars of the crib. Perhaps it's the style of crib that doesn't allow enough leeway. If it doesn't specifically go around the corner of the crib, perhaps it would go around the first slat away from the corner?

We purchased the same item about 1 year ago and have had no issues with it. The baby even bangs on it and messes around with it. It sounds like you have a defective unit and should request a replacement at no charge.

We bought ours to keep a Westie enclosed while he recovered from knee surgery so I am probably not qualified to advise you. But, it seems to me that baby is some kind of strong if he or she can climb over the top. I am surprised it doesn't get tipped over. If you got some strong canvas like material and stitched it into the inside of the pen with strong yarn across the top and bottom it might make the sides so slick he or she could not get a grip. I sort of think you child may be too big and well coordinated for this type of pen if he climbs out of it. Our dog uses psychological war fare.....sad pleading eyes that make us given in and let him out! I would rather have my problem than yours.

My baby is 17 months and we can still make it work. Like the other mamas, I just loosen the straps so baby can move back a bit. Totally doable and with the hood, stays pretty discreet. You can always add a blanket or cape thingy if you're concerned about anyone seeing, though I don't personally think there's anything to hide about nourishing baby!

Hi there ,well, to be honest, i am heavy and my kids like to jump or play on the sofa. So the result was that we broke the main part. My husband tried to fix it.didn't work out.we kept a corner but it's not worth it.

I stopped using it after my baby started walking because she hated being held in place at that point...she'd rather be exploring. I don't see why it'd be unsafe until they could pull themselves up and try to get out.

My youngest was 12 months. He was over 20 lbs and had been walking (more like running!) for a while. He did great but within a few weeks was able to get out on his own WHILE I was biking (he is a Houdini). Scary! I would say that, as long as your baby sits up very well on their own and isn't a squirmer, they should be fine.

No...which is a big pitfall for me! My daughter (17 months) and all the other daycare kiddos I watch (between 16 months and 24 months) just crawl inside, put their hands on the wall of the tent, and run across the floor with it :-/ I had to pack this tent away for later and buy a smaller tent with a floor so it's more difficult to shove over.

We've never had a problem with it. That part isn't accessible when it's laid in a crib with a sheet on top. This is coming from a first time mom who's completely anal about anything safety related.

When my son was learning to sit in the chair, he crawled in belly first and wriggled his way up (if you can imagine) and it never tipped on him. He's 2 now and likes to throw his head and arch his back and stand on the chairs and jump off. Seems pretty stable to me. The backs are low and plastic is going to be slippery on wood or similar floors. But he's not had any accidents with them that weren't caused by his own rowdiness.

I felt that the whole thing slid around a lot so I got that grippy shelf liner stuff at the dollar store and put that under it. That helped a ton.However in my opinion it's not the pad that needs to be secure...it's the wiggly baby! The dresser I had it on was very high. As soon as my son started sitting up at about 5.5 months I put the pad on the floor. I wasn't taking any chances! It's been there ever since!
