Product Description

While it doesn't turn bedtime into a campout, the Tot in Mind Cozy Crib Tent II is a great way to keep toddlers and toys inside the tent and pests and pets outside. The domed canopy attaches snugly via Velcro to most standard and sleigh cribs. Setup is easy--almost like a tent--and once on it discourages toddlers from climbing, falling, and wandering. If you have a climbing toddler not yet ready for a toddler bed, the Crib Tent II bridges the gap and will have parents, and child, resting easier. Crib rails can be lowered and bumper pads can still be used. The soft full zipper allows quick access to the crib, and it is compact and lightweight for travelling. Manufacturer recommended age is birth to three years. --Scott Teal

"No More Babies Climbin' Out Of Bed!"
 
Review Date: September 5, 2004
Reviewer: Amber Atkins, Round Lake Heights, IL
I will never judge anyone again; when I saw this advertised in the One Step Ahead catalog just a few months ago, I thought that it was one of the cruelest inventions ever made- right up there with the child harness. But last month when my 21 month old daughter climbed out of her crib, I quickly changed my mind. Not ready to graduate on to her youth bed, my daughter would be in danger every night if it wasn't for this product. I could either take my chances and leave her in her crib hoping she won't climb out again, or take my chances that she won't go wandering in the night given the freedom of the youth bed. This is the perfect product for this transition period. The safety aspect is the number one benefit of this product, but I also agree with the other reviews that they can no longer throw pacifiers or dolls out of the crib and then make you get out of bed to return it, and it also keeps them from chewing on the top rails. Another advantage to this latest model is that the netting in the front prevents clever children from reaching under the crib rail and pulling the zipper. It only took me about 20 minutes to assemble it, and it actually looks really cute! We also made it a big deal and played circus and camping games, which got my daughter excited about it. I am so thankful for this product, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a gymnastically inclined toddler! I will also not judge people with leashes on their children.
Thank you Tots in Mind!!!

Pleasantly Surprised!

After reading some of the reviews about how the product is hard to assemble and flimsy, I ordered two crib tents with trepidation for my 18 month old twins. However, the new model must have fixed the problems previously written about because I found the tent very sturdy when assembled. It was also easy to put together. The instructions were lousy, but after glancing at the parts and scanning the instructions it was obvious how to put it together and it took about 10 minutes. (FYI - I hate to put stuff together and am not at all technically inclined.)

A few pointers: 1) another reviewer helpfully shared that to shut the zipper easily, press down on the flexible tent bar. This really helps.
2) it is tough to change the crib sheet, so what I do is tuck a blanket over the crib sheet. Then I only have to change the blanket and it's tucked in so tightly the kids haven't figured out that they can pull it out. I use a fleece oversized throw in the winter to cover the sheet and they love it because it's so soft.
3) the zipper is really noisy at night when you're trying to cover a child with a blanket without waking them up! This is the one down side I found.

I had previously looked at the older model of the crib tent at Toys-R-Us and just by the way the parts shook in the box, it sounded flimsy so I put it back. This new model is really sturdy and well made.
Life saver!

My son is not quite two and he recently learned how to climb out of his crib at even the lowest setting. Since he never goes right to sleep when he is put to bed, he would always try to climb out once he had learned that he could. This of course meant that he would now have to sleep with us and we would have to go to bed at his bedtime. Through his restless sleeping habits, my wife or myself were constantly being woken up with a kick to our back or front. I was at my wits end when I came across the Crib Tent II. Based on previous reviews it sounded like exactly what we needed. I was so desperate that I had it shipped overnight. It wasn't complicated to set up, it fit perfectly, and it worked like a charm. My son actually likes it. I think it makes him feel more secure. He actually grabs the zip down flap and holds it up when I put him in bed wanting me to zip it up. It does seem a little pricey but it is worth every penny and more.
A must-have for worried parents

After trying a couple of different types of nets, I finally found this wonderful invention. My daughter is now 1 year old and she only sleeps with her pacifier but she throws her pacifier away to tease us at bed time. After we bought the Crib Tent II she cannot do it anymore and she sleeps without complaints. We also feel better knowing she cannot climb out of the crib or have her arms and legs stuck between the slats.

Well worth it!
Wonderful Invention!!!!!

I was in the same dilemma most parents are when their toddler figures a way to flip his/her leg over the side of the crib rail and slide down to the floor... is it time for a toddler bed?

At the time I had never heard of the Crib Tent II and was contemplating a baby gate across the bedroom doorway with a toddler bed in the room. After a couple sleepless nights of my 16-month-old slipping out of his crib and lots of research, I ran across an article for the Crib Tent II. It seemed a bit pricey and a few of the reviews were discouraging but I was desperate and willing to pay the money so my son didn't break a limb while performing his acrobats. That evening I called my husband and asked him to swing past the baby store on his way home from work and pick one up... hands down one of the best moves we've ever made!

The first couple of times we laid our son in his crib with the tent on he cried when it was zipped. Probably a little scary at first to hear the zipper and the new surrounding but he soon got over it and loves it, even after 4 months. I did find it a little cumbersome to change his sheets but with all honesty I had difficulty leaning over the side and wrestling the sheets since the first day we put the crib together. As far as the zipper goes, once it is fully zipped and the zipper is tucked into its little pocket it is virtually impossible for him to get at it. He has never been able to open it by himself although he has tried numerous times.

I highly recommend this product for anyone in a similar dilemma... it is a wonderful invention and a must for sleepless parents with little acrobats!
Best invention ever!

This product is so great. Not only does it keep your toddler from trying to climb out of the crib, but it doesn't allow them to throw stuff out, push stuff threw the bars, and their feet and legs don't get stuck inbetween the bars. Our daughter loves and sleeps so much better with it! Her crib is near the window shade and an outlet that has the baby monitor plugged into it. She used to be able to reach all of that, but now she can't get to it, which saved us a lot more babyproofing and grief. I think it's a must have if you still have a toddler in the crib. The only complaint I have is that the mattress is hard to get out if you need to change the sheets. Other than that it's a great product. Tip: To get it to zip up easier, just push the top of the tent down with one hand, while zipping it up with the other.
