Canopy Dangers for Crib/Cots? - Page 2

The thing is, these can be useful if your place is prone to flys or mosquitoes aswell as just looking cute. If it's being used sensibly then I don't see the problem. If its being tied to the outside of the cot then the baby won't even touch it

If its being tucked in under the mattress or something then I'd be concerned.

I cant see it being much danger to new borns tbh when they start grabbing it then yeah i see a safety issue, i dont understan why you would have the window open with hat much of a wind that it would move the drape over LO in the first place tbh.

unless your going to have the window open while baby sleeps I cant see it being an issue, and if the window is open, just have a place where you can tie it back out of the way.. Another idea is, to use velrco strips, and be able to secure the parts draped around the crib to the crib. (down side with this is it will be visable, but safer).

I didn't say anything about having windows open,I meant if it draped into the crib or blew in somehow.

I don't understand how they could get in any other way?

Maybe I'm missing something. They hang around the cot edges. The only way they could get in the cot is from wind, someone putting them in there or the baby grabbing it.

Okay obviously a newborn would not do this,but any baby old enough to have some coordination to touch things,it could be close enough to the railings to where they can grab and pull. But I'm gunna stop now because obviously some people think its not a good idea and some people don't mind it. I won't be getting one,if LO is anything like my first son,we will not be getting one..end of story.

That's your decision. Everyone will have different opinions though. I was genuinely just asking you as I didn't understand, that's all...
