My toddler likes to smack on the window -- will the mesh prevent this?

No. But it would keep your toddler from getting cut if the glass shattered. You might want to cover the glass with a clear plastic film (try Home Depot for that). Or replace the glass with clear plexiglass. Then the mesh window guard.

The mesh is soft and has a lot of give to it so smacking the mesh will also smack the window but probably not as hard against the window.

We found that when installed, it was much harder for the little one to bang on the window.

I think it would look fine. I have a one and a half year old. I just put rubber bands around both of the knobs so she can't get it. I haven't been worried at all that she might break the glass.

It is stiffer than a piece of cloth so it will not bunch if your baby sleeps/squirms on this. I let my son sleep on this when he was younger and had no problems of the pad folding or bunching up. I don't let him sleep on it now because I'm afraid he'll inadvertently fold in an edge to his face and hinder breathing.

The new born may be too tiny for this. Second thing, some times babies will startle when you spray water on them, so the chances of slipping are a lot which is dangerous ( solution: Use a towel on top of this as it increase friction and reduces slippage)The mesh is soft enough for the new born's skin.We ended up returning ours, but got it as a gift from a friend, so ended up using it!. Folds terrible, but other wise works fine.

I was worried about this too, but so far (he's been in it for about 4 months now) we've had no problems. The velcro area seems to be far enough away not to scratch his arms.

Yes! We are using it that way right now with our (just turned) 2 year old. I make sure she's buckled and I slide her up to the table before I walk away, so I don't worry about her trying to escape!

We use it on the door knob side to keep fingers from getting smashed when my toddler tries to close/slam doors. One of the other answers was to put on the top of the door near the hinge side would probably work if you're concerned about pinching fingers on the hinge vs door knob side.

Hi Benjamin,I put the decals on the inside of the window. It is not a perfect deterrent, but it does help.Lin

Pull down ? YES! My toddler loves to and thinks it is so funny. Hurt himself? Mine has not yet! We take it down when he is around.

There are metal braces, with hard panels and a thin pad. It is sturdy. If there are sitting its softer than plastic but if they lay down you may want to add a pillow or blanket so you are not bouncing their heads. I bent the wheels on the front of my first wagon. Make sure you lift up when going over a bump.

It is pretty sturdy, but depends on the weight of the kid I guess. Manufacturer should be able to help you with this. I bought one that is 48 inches wide, about 18 inches deep, and it is sturdy if the top is locked into the bottom unit. If you are just using this cover on top of your window well at ground level, why don't you put rocks in the window well first?

The window drapes pull up to a Velcro tie all around the house with a mesh opening left, so not completely open but with mesh. Except front entry where the drapes Velcro up without mesh. Great playhouse!

We've been using it for 4 months and my son has never been pinched. The rear half sits on top of the front two pieces and the actual hinges are underneath those ledges. And it's all plastic. Maybe they would get pinched if it wasn't flattened all the way before being sat on? Hope that helps.

Our child pushes and pulls on it and it stays fine.She does get her fingers through the mesh and has made a few tiny holes though!

it depends on how old and how big and how clever the toddler is and don't ever leave anything sharp around that the toddler could poke thru the netting. in other words, probably not safe to keep a toddler from falling thru. it would probably give you a few extra seconds to grab the toddler if you were right there with them. i'm a grandmother of 5 and toddlers are mighty fast and absolutely fearless.

A bit- the cover in my car covers the vents in the back, so I have to adjust the angle on the front vents and crack the windows- especially after daycare or running in the park. There are WAY more positives to it though- it's still holding up really well!

No, my clumsy 3 y/o has no issues. I have even stepped on it and tried to tip it. It is very easy to set up and break down, but is resistant to tipping.
