The base of these are SUPER wide. I have a zillion of these. They wouldn't affect a leg lift.they already have something similar on the market.
you can put it on backwards and cover with a sweatshirt and no kid is going to get out of thatComment

I hope none of these kids you guys take care of want to grown up and be day care providers. We are expected to raise them without any "no" so we don't crush their little self esteems but as soon as they open shop to do day care they will be hit with hundreds of pages of them.

By then all day care providers will be Govt. employees who are outraged people used to be able to work from home. :

I am the owner of The Naughty Monkey
Thanks for all the kind words!
I just wanted to say, as far as the children getting their head/arms/whatever trapped in the panel - no. That doesn't happen. Not even once. As far as them playing with the panel - maybe? I have no idea but it has never been a problem for me or from anyone I have ever heard from. My daughter is almost 3.5 and still in her crib thanks to this sleeper. I created this because sleepsacks that totally hinder movement seem cruel to me at this age. Children wearing The Naughty Monkey sleeper can run and jump and play as part of a bedtime routine. :-)
The reason the panel doesn't go from crotch to ankles is because it's just not necessary. The stitching in the panel is such that is stretches enough without tearing and without making it ineffective to prevent crib climbing. As an added bonus - a child wearing The Naughty Monkey Sleeper can still be put into a carseat! Winning!
Thanks for listening!

That's what I do in my daycare! If they try to climb, I don't allow them to stand anymore.Comment

Have you ever seen the way a person maneuvers with a body cast from the waist down?
Every time I try to imagine it, that's the vision I get trying to picture a child moving around with this on. ::.....

About the stacking cribs, how would centers be allowed to phase them out? I thought it was nationwide that all daycare cribs have to be manufactured after a certain date - 2011?
and restricting a 3 1/2 yr old like that scares me. that child could get outside in a fire if she were not restricted to a crib by her clothing.Comment

It was in the link
NOT sure about the use of these in other states, but in Cat Herder's state they are "no-no's"
Here is what the links said:
Standard 5.4.5.3: Stackable Cribs
Use of stackable cribs (i.e., cribs that are built in a manner that there are two or three cribs above each other that do not touch the ground floor) in facilities is not advised. In older facilities, where these cribs are already built into the structure of the facility, staff should develop a plan for phasing out the use of these cribs.
If stackable cribs are used, they must meet the current Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) federal standard for non-full-size cribs, 16 CFR 1220. In addition they should be three feet apart and staff placing or removing a child from a crib that cannot reach from standing on the floor, should use a stable climbing device such as a permanent ladder rather than climbing on a stool or chair. Infants who are able to sit, pull themselves up, etc. should not be placed in stackable cribs.
RATIONALE:
Stackable cribs are designed to save space by having one crib built on top of another. Although they may be practical from the standpoint of saving space, infants on the top level of stackable cribs will be positioned at a height that will be several feet from the floor. Infants who fall from several feet or more can have an intracranial hemorrhage (i.e., serious bleed inside of the skull). While no injury reports have been filed, there is a potential for injury as a result of either latch malfunction or a caregiver/teacher who slips or falls while placing or removing a child from a crib. It is best practice to place an infant to sleep in a safe sleep environment (safety-approved crib with a firm mattress and a tight-fitting sheet) at a level that is close to the floor.
A minimum distance of three feet between cribs is required because respiratory infections are transmitted by large droplets of respiratory secretions, which usually are limited to a range of less than three feet from the infected person. (1).
Young children placed to sleep in stackable cribs may have difficulties falling asleep because they may not be used to sleeping in this type of equipment. In addition, requiring staff to use stackable cribs may cause them concern and fear regarding their liability if an injury occurs.

The "appropriate" cycles just keep coming don't they?
