Ok, this may be a pipe dream but I am looking to see if anyone knows of a crib tent for an OLDER (larger model) pack and play.
We are away for the summer with our 2.5 year old and she climbed out after a week. We tried the big girl bed thing for 3 weeks without success. So back to the pack and play with some mosquito netting to try to keep her in, but it is very makeshift and we have another month to go.

Does anyone know if they make crib tents for porta cribs or smaller cribs or the larger model pack and plays?
Please help us contain our energetic and ingenious daughter!

TIA!
Betsy

Okay, there are tents for play yards: http://www.cyberbabymall.com/6001.html

But you may want to just stick to the mosquito netting if you only have a month to go. I think the cheapest price I've found is still over $50, or I'd also get one!

Eileen, Thank you so much! I havent seen one before that was adjustable. Zoiks $90 is a huge amount but we have another escapee in the making (he is only 11 months old but already climbing everything) and hope to have more eventually as well. I will browse around and see what else I can find. I would do $50 just so I didnt have to tie on the mosquito netting every time. This kid gets out of all sorts of knots...

Thanks so much!!

Years ago when I worked on Pediatrics, before they made the fancy cribs that are fully enclosed, we used volley ball nets! They have long straps to tie underneath the crib where the baby can't reach. If you can't find a Pack n Play tent, it might be worth a try. GL Mary

Okay, so do you know of a place to get an inexpensive volleyball or badminton net? :)

ETA: I guess I could just sew cloth straps to my mosquito netting!
