Mattress protector suggestions for crib with solid back?

[gigi927]

Hi,

We have a crib that has posts on only 3 sides. the back side of the crib is solid wood. I purchased an ultimate crib sheet and realized that there is no way for me to secure it to the back side of the crib. Aside from being less than safe for baby, it means the sheet may still move around and not do its job anyway.

Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives???

Thanks!

I had a similar problem since I ordered the "safe and sound bedding" set (the bumper attaches under the mattress so you can't get to the crib slats). Anyway, the One Step Ahead Catalogue (and website) has a zipper sheet (the sheet fits around the mattress and then the top unzips). I don't think it's waterproof so you still need a flat waterproof sheet underneath (I bought one last week- can't remember the brand) but at least you can just unzip the top sheet for washing. I don't have this yet since the extra top sheets were out of stock when I tried to order earlier this week but it sounds like it will work...
