Re: Padding for DBB bar???

[Guest guest]

Hi, -

I just got an email today from someone who has set up an on-line

store to sell bar covers. The main page will be working tomorrow,

they said, but the store part is working now:

www.shop.clubfootdesigns.com

The other link that will be working tomorrow is

www.clubfootdesigns.com

There are also some moms here who have made them for others

() in the past.

I made mine for my daughter's brace without sewing. I just used hot-

glue and glued fabric onto a piece of foam pipe insulation and

wrapped two pieces of velcro around it on either end to secure it on

the bar. You can also just use duct tape or electrical tape to hold

the insulation on if you don't care about aesthetics (since she's

just wearing it at night and not going out in public with it

on)....and as long as you don't think she'll pick at the

insulation. Otherwise, I'd glue the fabric on it if you think

she'll rip the foam apart.

Others have used car seat strap covers that velcro on. Or bike

handlebar pads.

HTH!

P.S.

I think I forgot to welcome you to the group!

If you don't mind telling us, what doctor is treating your daughter?

Hi

My son is now 2 and he sleeps in a 'car bed'. We recently moved and

decorated and the wall by his bed is scratched to bits. I say to him what

are all these marks on the wall and he says his shoes did it........ Anyway

we have a cover on it which is a child's car seat cover and it just wraps

around the bar and does up with velcro. We now have floor tiles and as he

walks everywhere in his FAB it leaves marks from the metal bolts so I have

now put on the bolts some covers which stick on and would normally go on the

bottom of chair legs or table legs to prevent scratching. Anyway even with

his cover on and little pads I still have marked walls and bruises on my

shins but I keep thinking we are over half way there now and his feet are

wonderful.... Perhaps I will just redecorate when we get those shoes off!!!

Hi there,

I'm new to this group. My 1-year-old daughter has been wearing her DBB

since she was 11 weeks old and we've never had any problems with it.

However, now that it is warmer at night, we don't use a sleep sack, and

she is dinging the heck out of her crib! She's put some major scuff

marks in the crib - not to mention she can hurt someone with that

bar!!;-) Does anyone know where I can get a cover for it? I don't

sew, so I need something " ready made. " Can anyone help?

Hi Rach,

How does your son get on with the car bed - is it the Little Tikes

one - I ask as we are thinking of getting one for our son.

Re the padding for the DBB bar - I bought a seat belt cover and this

goes over the bar nicely - what a good idea for the bolts - another

suggestion is some tote socks as they have some grip.

cheerio for now

Hi

Yes I think it is little tikes car bed. It has a sun roof and is turquoise

and yellow. He loves it. The only thing is it is quite hard to squeeze in

with him for a cuddle sometimes!!!!

Hi I saw your post about the car bed and you were thinking

about getting one. We had (still have) bought collin the fire

engine step 2 bed, theres a photo it on our website at

http://www.geocities.com/chele323232 For Collin he didn't last in

it at all at night time. His bar was 12 " wide and he just couldn't

get to sleep knocking the plastic all night long. He loved to play

with it during the day though. He actaully wanted to sleep on his

floor or our bed when he had the fire engine...I think mainly

because the bar being wide. We ended up buying him bunk beds, so

now he sleeps on the botton bunk on a twin size mattress, he did

much better with that. I'm sure it is different for all kids

though. We just felt like in our case it was a waste of money. I'm

actaully debating about if I should put it up on e-bay to fund part

of our Ponseti trip! P.S. the car may be better because it doesn't

appear to have high sides like the fire engine does.

We are in the same boat. My mother in-law and I are practicing making covers

ourselves over piping insulation. If you can send me some measurements I'm sure

we could help out.

,

I purchased the car seat belt covers for infants at Babies r' Us they fit

perfectly on the Markell bar/shoe. They have a little sun and moon and keep my

little Diego busy!

Hope this helps!

[Guest guest]

Wow, that would be great! She's asleep now, so I'll have to take

some measurements in the morning. She is using the 12 " DBB, I

believe.

Thanks again, and I'll be in touch......

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, the kids really know how to tear things up! Every day I look

at my nice crib and see how scratched it's getting - we bought one

of those cribs that converts into a toddler bed, then a headboard

for double bed, and man, we're going to have to paint the darn thing

whenever we move to the double bed, as bad as it looks already!

Oh well, I'll take messed up furniture anyday if it means my

daughter will have " normal " feet!

Thanks again!

Well, as of April we are now in Seattle, WA, and Dr. Mosca

is treating Addison. He was recommended to us by our doctor in

Atlanta, Dr. sy. He is WONDERFUL. Really set our

minds at ease throughout the entire process. We literally took

Addison to Dr. sy right after we were released from the

hospital, and he treated her the first 9 months of her life. I

can't say enough great things about the man. If there is anyone in

the Atlanta area needing a Ponseti doctor, he's your guy. There are

a couple of other doctors in his practice that also use the Ponseti

method and I hear they are great as well.

I hope Dr. Mosca is just as good. We've only had one appt with him,

since now Addison is on a 3-month appt schedule. So far, so

good....but I can't help but look at her feet and wonder if they are

turning in already! I'm probably just paranoid. I asked Dr. Mosca

at our June visit and he said they looked great.
