Use of infant positioning devices?

My sister used this positioning device that looked like it had two adjustable cylinders to keep on the baby's side so she could not roll or move. I am going to have my twins co-sleep at first and was wondering if anyone else used these? Are they safe? Would it help to keep them on their own side? Thank for your input!

Yes, I LOVE my sleep positioners. My twins are ALL over their cribs if I don't use them and they are only 5 months old. It also gives me peace of mind knowing that they haven't rolled over in their sleep and I can rest better!

If baby wants to roll and move around, let them!
Our little ones move around in their sleep a lot. With the sleep positioners, they could get frustrated and wake up.

I don't think they would get frustrated. The postitioners are great and like swaddling I think they help younger babies feel like they're still being held.

These don't stop mine from rolling around at all and just end up making them mad, so mine are setting under the crib.

I say it's a waste of $ too. Rolled up recieving blankets, swaddling, or just letting them be. They won't use them long!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
