crib bedding

I think I found the problem with the negative reviews. The main description is for the fitted crib pad. It looks like when you click on which color you want it changes to the flat pad which is a pack of 2. I think those are getting the bad reviews saying they are too small.
I have the actual Carters Keep Me Dry FITTED crib pad. I have 2. They are about $12 in stores. The FITTED one is awesome! I have had the Sealy brand and Circo brand fitted crib pads. HORRIBLE. Both of them shrink and the top pills- balls up after repeated washings. I wash this Carters one in HOT water and dry on normal heat cycle. It has never shrunk (we have been using it for 8 months). It is fitted tightly enough where I am not concerned that it will come off the mattress, but it is not a battle getting it on either. Don't spend $20 on a "higher end" crib pad. Get 2 or 3 of these and that will be all you'll need! They are super soft and add a layer of cozy without being think where you might worry about... Read more

Carter's Keep Me Dry Waterproof Fitted Quilted Crib Pad, White

I actually bought this waterproof quilted crib pad for the crib mattress I use for my dog's bed. :) I have a BIG dog that smashes flat any type of commercial dog bed, so I decided to start using crib mattresses. Not only are they cheaper than dog beds, they have inner springs that can stand up to her 120lbs. The first few mattresses I bought, though, she quickly tore to pieces. With this quilted pad she's left it alone and the mattress has lasted for over four months now, still good as new! So if this crib pad can stand up to a 120lb dog with nails walking all over it, it can surely stand up to a baby! :)

We have had this cover since our first baby was born 1.5 years ago. It holds up great in the wash but I've only let it air dry. It fits comfortably around the standard crib mattress and doesn't shift at all even now that our toddler moves around a lot when he sleeps. It has been peed and puked on so it does have slight stains on it but the mattress doesn't! I can't believe I haven't had to replace it yet!
