CRIB TENT
There comes a time in parents’ child rearing journey, where their little toddler of one to two years of age, develops the original “leg-over-the-rail maneuver” to make their great escape out of the crib. This is when things take a turn. Parents may find their child at the wee hours of the night, finally able to explore the home with no one holding them back, discovering things such as, what it sounds like when pounds of sugar crystals hit the floor when poured all at once, or the thrill of flushing the toilet 500 times.
With all kidding aside, a child coming out of their crib can be a serious issue. Falling out of the crib is a danger in itself, and what an infant can do while his or her parents are sleeping, can be terrifying to think about as a parent.
In 2017, Kindersense embarked on a mission to innovate the very best crib tent available - finally ending those sleepless nights of parents worrying of their child coming out of their crib. Today, KinderSense is thankfully leading the industry for crib safety tents.
SAFETY
We started the design with three things in mind: safety, safety, and safety. We did extensive research on previous versions and competitors tents, and analyzed it from an engineering perspective, incorporating everything to our knowledge which would ensure this is the safest crib tent available.
There are two main safety concerns when it comes to crib tents. First, is open spaces. Previous versions were designed as “crib canopies” as opposed to crib tents, and left open spaces for kids to jam their extremities into. Second is danger of inversion. Previous versions had a criss-cross roof structure which often collapsed downward, posing a serious suffocation risk.
Unlike other tents, ours is a full tent structure, with an individual walled, pop-up design. The tent is inserted into the crib entirely, and is tucked around and under the crib mattress via the bottom fabric skirt. The tent is fastened by eight super sturdy straps at the corners, securing the tent properly to the crib. This prevents any open spaces for kids to get stuck in, and also makes it virtually impossible to collapse. Because the tent is secured to the crib above it’s half point, in addition to the specific structure of the tent frame, it is virtually impossible to invert downward. If the roof of the tent is pulled down, even to the mattress, it will always pop right back up. Additionally, the construction of the tents are made with the highest quality materials, making the tents super durable and functional.
DESIGN & FUNCTION
We took the costly route and incorporated precise geometry, highly durable materials, and everything necessary to ensure this is the strongest and safest tent your child can be in.
We chose the highest quality, breathable mesh, with holes small enough to keep even small bugs out, yet strong and resistant to tearing. Extreme attention was given to the sewing quality of the tent. In addition, the tent features fabric trims, rod sleeves, and fastening straps made from super strong, 100% cotton fabric further ensuring the durability of the seams. The zippers are YKK, lever locking zippers, which ensures the tent can only be opened from the outside.
In addition to being used as a way to prevent kids from climbing out of their crib, the tent can be used to protect a child from mosquitoes and other insects. It can also be used to prevent cats/pets from entering the crib.
