Between diaper changes, feedings, sleepless nights and babies that just won’t stop crying, new parents have their hands full. Any product that might save a few minutes (or add a few more minutes of sleep) is obviously greatly appreciated. Enter the QuickZip Crib Sheets from Clouds and Stars, Inc. Instead of having to bend over the crib and wrestle with your little one’s mattress, all you have to do is unzip the sheet from the zipper base and you’re done. Our testing mom said installing the zipper base was simple and once that’s done you no longer have to pull out the mattress to change sheets. “After using the QuickZip I can't imagine using regular sheets again,” she said.
Another nice feature is that the zipper top covers the zipper so there’s no risk of baby rubbing up against it. The sheets are 200-thread count made of 100 percent cotton, which our mom said were soft and durable. Plus they come in cheery colors like yellow, green, pink and blue in both solid and gingham patterns. Our mom also tried out the Portable Crib Sheet, which got a thumbs up since it enclosed the entire mattress so the sheet didn’t slip.
The QuickZip Starter Set, which includes one zipper base and one zipper top, sells for $34.99 on the company’s Web site while the Play Yard Sheet sells for $16.99. For more information (including a video demonstrating how the sheets work) or to order, visit www.cloudsandstars.com.
