Just saw this on sale on the JoJo Maman Bebe website, seems to be some sort of sheath that goes round the toddler bed to hold bedding in place. Not sure how I feel about it and at £30 in the sale I'm don't want to try it if it's rubbish. I can't find much about it online. Has anyone used it?

Here's the link:

Currently 2yo sleeps in a fleecy sleepsuit over his PJs to try to keep him warm as his covers last two minutes and we have a freezing cold house but ideally I'd like him to sleep in just PJs and a duvet on top. He still moves about a lot so I don't want him to feel too restricted.

I just used a regular single flat sheet, on a toddler bed it fits so the short side is the length and then the length will wrap all the way around the mattress! It’s a lot cheaper and you still have them for when they move into a single bed.

I’m not very helpful as I’ve not tried it but I can’t imagine 2yo dd letting me zip her into it.

What about a sleeping bag?
I know at least John Lewis and Grobag do them in 18-36 months as that’s what we have dd in still.

Thanks - single sheet is a good idea to try.

He has outgrown his sleeping bags unfortunately as he's really tall. I have a JoJo sleep snuggler in aged 3-4 which is fitting at the moment but I suspect we'll get another 6m max out of it so trying to future proof!

I just make a bed up the old-fashioned way, with a flat cotton sheet tucked in on three sides and varying numbers of blankets and quilts layered on top depending on temperature. I turn a regular cot bed sheet through 90 degrees. I’ve always done the bed like that or similar so toddler likes being tucked in firmly and there’s no worries about her kicking the covers off. Not sure I’d see the point in a special cover for this when you can get a similar effect with regular bedding.
