Sorta a silly question, but I just switched to PnP and the toddlers keep tearing the sheets off and pulling up the mat's part. How do you keep them from dismantling the bedding???

I use two of the elastic straps they sell to hold the corners of your sheets down. Works great.

Wow... Smart cookies... I know a few tricks.

1. Simplest.. flip the mat over, then use a mattress pad. The hinges dont work the other way...

2. Find the huge safety pins from the dollar store, the ones with the big duckies and bunny heads on them. From the outside of the PNP pin each of the 4 corners. If they are very determined you may need to do the sides, too..

3. Put in grommets (from the arts and craft section of any large dept store, they just snap in with this cheap little gun from the bedazzler type kit) on the four corners of the PNP and the sheets then just lace through with ribbons and tie pretty bows. (also works great for bibs)

Good luck... They can get just as creative as we can....

I just snip a space for the velcro strap to go through that holds the mattress down.
