New cot invention - would you use it?

Hi everyone! I have recently patented a new invention for cots, and would love some feedback on the basic idea of it and whether or not you would use it .....
It consists of two or four sides (4 if the cot ends have bars) of the mesh material that is used on the sides of travel cots. It fits on the inside of the cot bars and stops your precious ones getting their arms and legs caught in the bars and also stops dummies falling through the bars in the night!! (I've spent hours looking for them in the dark!!) The sides will have all kinds of patterns or pics on them or plain blue/pink or even personalised.
Let me know what you think!!!

yes the other stuff wasn't patented and just on an obscure shareware site. We even had the sodding US search done which was really pricey, and he showed it off at the Internet World show in LA. The patent lawyers we used were also real sharks and had been dishonest about the true costs involved.
Anyway, I hope you end up being more successful, I think it's a great idea and I would have bought one for my babies. I always ended up using bumpers much earlier than you're supposed to.
