What crib tent works if 1 side (back) of crib is higher?

    I never thought when pregnant buying cribs that I should make sure all 4 sides are equal height. I'm reading about crib tents and they all say all 4 sides have to be the same height. The back on ours is higher. What do I do? Are there other crib tents?

    My kids refuse to wear sleepsacks now and are climbing into highchairs. Starting to try to climb out of cribs. I think it's time to find a crib tent before a big crash happens. thanks!

    Just an FYI, you can find the same brand/style at the Babycenter.com store for far less money! And I've ordered from them before and been really pleased with the customer service.

    CHJH, not sure if they ship to Canada or not, but I wouldn't see why not!

    We have the same tent linked above and it works fine on cribs that have a higher back than the front. It's a little funny-looking, but it still works fine.

    They don't ship to Canada - most US sites don't (sadly).

    Summary: (from this board and other local moms groups that I belong to)

    Several people recommended crib tents. A few recommended switching to toddler beds.

    I ordered 2 crib tents. Spent over an hour struggling to assemble and install one of them and it will NOT fit on our crib, no matter what I do. I give up! (it isn't so much that the back of the crib is higher. It's that the tops of our cribs are so "big" that the velcro won't fit around it. That combined with the height difference makes it absurd.)

    When the girls start climbing out, we'll change the front panel on their cribs and convert them to toddler beds (and deal with that transition and I'll be asking for advice again to toddler proof their room). This was a major selling point to us when we purchased the cribs, but frankly now I'm really frustrated that our "style" doesn't allow for the option of a crib tent.
