#DOC A TOT GRAND FREE#
Unlike a mattress, Dock-a-Tot is hypo-allergenic & Oeko-Tex Certified (meaning free from harmful chemicals and only using fabrics/fibers made without scary pesticides). This is a big one that we don't often think about, but most children's mattresses are made with harsh chemicals and need to be covered with an allergy cover. It has big, thick sides to keep children (like mine) from constantly rolling out of their toddler beds. (*it's also important to note that the smaller version, the Deluxe for 0-9mos old is not intended for use in cribs or bassinets for safety reasons, only for supervised napping and playtime). Consistency in where a child sleeps is KEY to nap lengthening and uninterrupted sleep at night! Here is the current toddler bed we are using for our baby girl!
This cozy sleep solution can assist children in feeling secure & safe, while serving as a consistent sleeping environment while transitioning to their own room or a toddler bed. A big new bed can be a scary place without the safety of your crib slats surrounding you when you're a young child, and the Dock can help provide some of that lost comfort in a small child's surroundings. PERFECT solution for the crib-to- toddler bed transitioning when your tot is big enough to safely descend on his/her own. While on Auntie Duty, I was able to answer client emails, do my dishes, feed my two toddlers AND bake cookies while 18-month old Olivia was safely playing in my son's Dock within eye sight. Which means I automatically loved it, right? Well not so fast my children tend to like something for it's newness and then lose interest later on, sound familiar? But not his DockaTot! *UPDATE*: It's been nearly a year now, and he refuses to sleep without it, yells at his baby Sister when she even thinks about "pretending to sleep in it", and even drags the entire thing down a flight of stairs when I'm not looking to lounge in it while drinking his milk and enjoying his early morning cartoons! Soon he'll be playing tug-of-war with another lady: his baby cousin, Olivia. After my kids initially fought over it, lounged in it, and even pretended it was a boat (who doesn't love a game of Hot Lava?!), my toddler son was finally able to attempt sleeping with it for his first big night in his "big boy bed". The company has two sizes, the "Deluxe" for ages 0-9 months, and a larger size "The Grand" that fits 9-36 month children. I wanted to order the Toddler-size for my son's transition from the crib to the toddler bed, so I teamed up with Dock-A-Tot and within a week our new Dock was at my front door step. The concept sounded fabulous, and maintaining a consistent sleep environment when moving a child around from room to room (or moving into a new bed or house) is so crucial if you wish to keep healthy sleep habits. I heard about a company called Dock a Tot from a good friend, and as mentioned I have received dozens of curious client emails regarding the Dock. When traveling with my son, he sleeps on the floor in the same room as us, and we've found him under the bed, or halfway through the door (completely asleep both times!).
My 3-year old son, who still sleeps in a crib, recently expressed some interest in moving to "big boy bed" (aka toddler bed), which is great, however he is a MOVER AND SHAKER at night, constantly rolling around, and waking up in all different positions and directions at night. After some extensive research, a little contemplation and my toddler expressing interest about moving into a toddler bed, I finally decided to try the Dock for myself. "How do you feel about the Dock-A-Tot?" and "Do you think I should order the Dock-A-Tot for my child?" These are two questions I receive almost weekly in my Inbox, as this Baby "Must Have" is on the top of most Mama's list of "Wants".
