The Bottom Line:
Try it and if you hate it, take it back.
I will be the first voice of dissent on this product...as I write this, all the other reviews are five stars.
The cons?
Every time I have to deal with this sheet, I swear that I hate it with every fiber of my being. The first time I tried to put in on the mattress, I was fussing and swearing at it and was sweating my butt off trying to get it hooked on. It is not intuitive at all to snap on:
1) The snap bands aren't placed equidistant so you just have to guess at where they should go.
2) In order to snap the opposite side you have to lean over and INTO the crib (or you have to pull it away from the wall)...
3) All while trying to stick your fingers through the slats to pull the bands through and snap them.
4) Once I had the bands hooked where it seemed they should...I got to the opposite end and there was NO WAY the bands were hooking--it was a few inches too short! GRRRRRRR!
At that point, sweaty and frustrated, I gave up and threw the damn thing at my husband and told him to do it. Since then, I've had to do it myself, and I still hate it although I am getting better.
The pros?
It is nicely waterproof. When the boy spits up or his diaper leaks or he sweats a lot, it does not make it through to the mattress. But that said, it's not like there's a lot of liquid to worry about.
We haven't had any issue with the snaps not staying snapped or the baby getting underneath the sheet.
Overall?
We are still using this, although I am not quite sure why. There has to be another solution that doesn't cause me mental anguish trying to put it on (although, honestly, sheets of any kind are a PITA). So I give it three stars, but with a warning that it's a pain to put on.
