Ultimate Crib Sheet: Take It or Leave It?

Ultimate Crib Sheet by Basic Comfort,

OK, moms-to-be, time for Take It or Leave ti Tuesday -- whatcha got on your registry?

Cost: $20

What it does: I never used one with my babies, but I know moms who love this item. It's an all-in-one quick-change sheet and super-absorbent/waterproof mattress pad.

Pros: Changing the crib sheet is a pain, and usually requires removing the bumper. The Ultimate Crib Sheet uses elastic straps that snap and unsnap, so you don't have to undo the bumper and everything else (note: a big bonus in the middle of the night.)

Cons: Some moms note not loving the snap system as opposed to a sheet that form-fits the mattress; others say it's not as soft as a regular crib sheet.

Let's see what you have to say.

Leave it. What a waste.

It's kind of funny...I've never had to take the bumper pad off for changing a sheet and matress pad. Maybe I've got a good technique.

You shouldn't have a bumper on the crib ANYWAY. If you do, it should be a thin, breathable mesh one that sits tightly against the sides.

i just got a bag of absorbent (sp?) pads from wallgreens (like the ones at the hospital) for about $6 for a pack of 10 and layered them between a couple of fitted sheets. If my little man wet the bed, i just took off the sheet, the pads beneath and boom, fresh dry sheet underneath. The whole thing can be done very well in a sleep deprived state.
