I know that there has been a hubbub on here about the Snugtuck owner pushing her product without stating that she is the owner, which I have to say I find very distasteful, but we are in a dilemma and I'm wondering if her product (which I have read anything bad about, notwithstanding the owner's ethics on this site) is the best thing for our needs . . .
We just set up Mia's twin bed in her new room. We plan on using a second crib until she is ready to move to the new bed, but already she is loving getting up on the new bed and rolling around, laying on it etc. I really want to encourage this as I think she will ultimately transition more smoothly if she is comfortable spending time in the bed. The bed is designed to be a bunk so it is wider than the matress by about 3 inches or so. We have it pushed against the wall, but there is a 4 inch gap between the wall and bed that I could see her easily falling down into and getting hurt/stuck. At first I thought I'd just push pillows in there, but I tried it and it looks really bad.
For any of you that have a snugtuck, have you used to it fill in a gap like this vs. as a traditional bedrail? I'm thinking, looking at the site, that it is the perfect size for this and will look much better than a scrunched bed pillow. I could also get a bolster or body pillow that would do the same thing, but figure the snugtuck would have another use down the line.
Any thoughts? Or any alternative suggestions?
Thanks!
