    I am not comfortable with the idea either. I prefer to have the kids in playpens where they are safe.

    I'm sorry, I wouldn't. The little ones I have talk and babble before they fall asleep, and sometimes wake up for a few minutes during naptime, like most kids. Unless they are actually screaming, I leave them and let them put themselves back to sleep. I wouldn't be able to do that if I had a child in this, I'd be too worried that they'd manage to climb out or fall out. Even a baby that could sit up would, I'm guessing, be able to rock it too much and possibly fall out. Never mind a baby that's 12 months or more, who can sit and pull up. I'd be terrified they could pull on one of the corner straps hard enough to tip themselves over-and if they stood up in it? No way! Just too much of a safety/liability issue for me. Kids can get used to sleeping in a crib or playpen even if they never have before, it just takes effort, time, and patience. I'd be wary of taking on a child who sleeps exclusively in something like this at home, because I would imagine it would be much harder to get them to sleep in a playpen if the parents aren't making them do it at home too.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
