Baby flips cover to the exposed bottom gap in between each string area and still chews the crib. Any one else experience this? Any ideas how to fix?

Ours are so snug and taught that even if he tried to pull the flaps up he couldn't. If there is any good news to the chewing problem it generally does not last very long. You could manually sew the flaps together to make them so that he could not pull them up.

We have two of these mattresses for our twins. They fit snug in the cribs. We have not had any issues with the mattress flipping up when they are standing up in the crib.

You can buy a mobile holder that doesn't screw through the gabs on the crib. It is a pressure held one. I bought one and used a mobile with mine just fine! :)

I have the exactly same problem. My baby is 9 month old. I am worrying the slouching position is not good for her spine. She doesn't look bothered by that, though not very happy about it either. what can I do?

We put a small bolt and nut through the hole in one of the latches. No problem since... Now my 80 lb labradoodle loves her "bed"... Our cage was a god-send... Love it. BTW: We have the large cage.

Ours is long gone, but had the same problem. Have no answer, just keep putting it back on. I guess you can try to glue it. That thing was a life saver. Plop the kid in and you can get some things done. Both kids loved it, especially when starting to walk.

Ours did the same thing. I started using my perch in incriminates of two hours because of the same concern. I also worry that it gets too hot, and there is no way to cover it safely. So my suggestion is use it sparingly, keep a close eye on your baby, they are too precious to take chances on their well being. Also, check talons if possible to see if heat has affected their toes, this also will let you know if it's harming him

I asked my daughter and she says that the latch seems strong with pretty rough play from her 4 year old so not sure if yours is defective. Those toys are usually very well made so may be worth a return to see. Hope this helps.

I've tried it both ways. Started with wool up and it seems to "rub off" easily just from the friction of the sheet. So when I changed the sheets I flipped it. We'll see if that helps. Sleeps fine with either side up.

Try something else. My female Amstaff, which is nearly 2yrs old, was able to destroy this ball within several minutes. She too is notorious for destroying anything with a center hole. However, we've had OK experiences with the black Extreme Kong toy (treat feeder) but even those don't seem to last but maybe a month or so if left in her possession. For balls or chew toys, I would look elsewhere, as we currently are. We'll likely try the Goughnuts next also.

When I purchased the crib, it was a gift. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question. Perhaps, the manufacturer/seller can assist you on this issue. Good luck.

No I've not had this issue it is close to my baby but it needs to be so he can pull the fish to play the sounds/music. It doesn't hit him in the head. Your baby may just be a little too small for the saucer now? I put a small blanket around my baby's waist so that he doesn't lean too far over while sitting in there. That should help!

The only issue I found is that once your baby has teeth and they chew on the hands and feet, they may be able to make holes and get the beads out. I have several of the same one so I just took the one with a hole and sewed it

Hi Dave, We initially had the same problem... those poor little feet. However, if you look at page 10 of the Owner's Manual the instructions (and diagrams) state "Pull on small loop until the sewn end of the loop passes through the adjustment buckle. Continue to pull out the small loop until the strap is the proper length". We fiddled around with this for a while until we figured out how it worked. I was a bit confusing to say the least! Our 5 month old absolutely loves this toy now. Hope this helps. Lynn

On the inside there is a plastic plate and a plastic screw extends from the plate and goes between the vertical slats of the crib. You secure it with a large plastic "nut" that is large enough to cover two vertical slats. It says it won't damage the crib, but if you screw it tight enough, you could leave pressure marks in wood. There's no way to secure it to the top bar of the crib. In theory, if your baby pulled down hard enough, it could slip down. I was worried about that, but my son hasn't shown any interest is pulling on the base.

You can still see little drag marks where my daughter would bite the crib where the padding is, but the padding does protect against the paint chipping. The drag marks are very faint, so the padding is certainly deflecting some of the biting. I should note, though, my daughter is not a huge biter on the crib, so I am not sure what the result would be with a more persistent biter.

FYI I posted this same question. The puppy is supposed to make sounds with movement of the mouth. I contacted Fisher-Price and they sent a replacement that was functional. Seems like a lot of people's don't make sound with movement of the mouth.
