Although stomach sleeping for babies is verboten to reduce the risk of SIDS, some babies are determined to transition to their tummies during the night. Others inch their way around the crib and parents find them in the morning with their heads wedged into a corner or arms or legs flailing between the crib rails. As babies get older and stronger and learn to stand and climb, some hatch escape plans which can lead to tumbles from the crib. That's where the Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap comes in...




That's just cruel. If they made one sized for teenagers though...

This and other sleep positioners are absurd. Stomach sleeping is not forbidden--it's putting baby DOWN to sleep on her stomach that's forbidden. Once a baby can turn over by herself, it's fine. Baby can't turn over for a few months, anyway, and when she can, she can also turn her head for air. You just continue putting her down on her stomach, in a sleep sack, with no bumpers, loose blankets, etc.

This is ridiculous! Any baby that moves enough to warrant one of these would be furious to be restrained like this. You have a crib to keep them confined, you don't need to strap them down in the crib!

reminds me of a straightjacket....

I think in certain circumstances this could be useful. For a young baby who likes to be held, this could give them the sense of security and support to be able to fall asleep easier and stay sleeping longer. Although I think swaddling works for that.

I can just see my son screaming just because he's restrained. ANYTHING that holds him down makes him furious.
Swaddlers do the trick just as great and are actually soothing (though he usually manages to kick his legs free just for a statement).

This is terrible, a torture device. My 3yo was sleeping on his stomache...by choice at 2 months old!

I want to cry for that child. How horrible to be restrained like that. My daughter rolls around her crib and hits the rails so I (GASP!) put in the bumper. Somehow, in the bigger picture, that seems like the wiser, safer and more humane option.

Potentially dangerous - people will rely on this and forget to do sensible things like putting up the crib railing or lowering the mattress to an appropriate level.

I once thought a sleep positioner would be helpful until I found my daughter could completely wiggle out of it and end up with her head between the wedges, which was probably more dangerous than without the device. This sleep wrap device seems like just one more thing the baby could get tangled up in.

Seems like baby could wiggle himself into a face down position and not be able to right himself.

I think the introduction doesn't do it any justice. I did some research on this product and found some suprising comments from Mums who have used the product - http://www.productreview.com.au/showitem.php?item_id=32368§ion=REVIEWS&next=1

Website has loads of information. Could be great if used in the right manner.
