I think I found the problem with the negative reviews. The main description is for the fitted crib pad. It looks like when you click on which color you want it changes to the flat pad which is a pack of 2. I think those are getting the bad reviews saying they are too small.
I have the actual Carters Keep Me Dry FITTED crib pad. I have 2. They are about $12 in stores. The FITTED one is awesome! I have had the Sealy brand and Circo brand fitted crib pads. HORRIBLE. Both of them shrink and the top pills- balls up after repeated washings. I wash this Carters one in HOT water and dry on normal heat cycle. It has never shrunk (we have been using it for 8 months). It is fitted tightly enough where I am not concerned that it will come off the mattress, but it is not a battle getting it on either. Don't spend $20 on a "higher end" crib pad. Get 2 or 3 of these and that will be all you'll need! They are super soft and add a layer of cozy without being think where you might worry about suffocation risk. I recommend them to all my friends who are expecting!
JUST BE SURE you are actually ordering the FITTED crib pad and not the plain pack of 2 crib pads.

UPDATE: Looks like they have changed the selections. The good fitted crib pads are the 52x28 inch ones. I'm not sure what the "deluxe" is, they didn't have those when I got mine. However my daughter is STILL using the same 2 pads for 20 months now, and they are still wonderful! They have not torn or shrunk.

We have had one "accident" on this pad and it worked great. It stopped the leak from getting through to the mattress. It can be a little tough to get it to stay in place while putting the sheet on top, but we expected that from a non-fitted pad.

One tip - if you can, you should buy two of these. We have a layering approach. So on the mattress we have a pad, then sheet, then another pad, then another sheet. That way if there's a nighttime "accident" it's easy to remove the top sheet and pad. You don't have to spend time in the middle of the night trying to get another sheet on the bed - and you're all set in case there's another leak.

Carter's Keep Me Dry Waterproof Fitted Quilted Crib Pad, White

I actually bought this waterproof quilted crib pad for the crib mattress I use for my dog's bed. :) I have a BIG dog that smashes flat any type of commercial dog bed, so I decided to start using crib mattresses. Not only are they cheaper than dog beds, they have inner springs that can stand up to her 120lbs. The first few mattresses I bought, though, she quickly tore to pieces. With this quilted pad she's left it alone and the mattress has lasted for over four months now, still good as new! So if this crib pad can stand up to a 120lb dog with nails walking all over it, it can surely stand up to a baby! :)

I dried it on the lowest heat setting and didn't have any of the shrink problems mentioned above.

We have had this cover since our first baby was born 1.5 years ago. It holds up great in the wash but I've only let it air dry. It fits comfortably around the standard crib mattress and doesn't shift at all even now that our toddler moves around a lot when he sleeps. It has been peed and puked on so it does have slight stains on it but the mattress doesn't! I can't believe I haven't had to replace it yet!

This crib pad is wonderful. I have tried a few other brands and they never seem to really fit the crib mattress tightly. This one is perfect and grips the mattress tightly. It is waterproof and is somewhat plush so that it makes the crib a little softer but not so plush that it could be a danger.

The pictures are very misleading. It is not for a crib, the pad is very small, (may be good for a changing pad). It is very thin and scratchy. It doesn not fit snuggly not even on a changing pad it is not fitted. Its just a rectangular piece of fabric. There are better quality fitted crib pads at walmart, and they are cheaper.

I was expecting to get something a little bigger. This does cover the width of the mattress but nowhere near the length. It will not work for a baby crib, in my opinion. It does provide enough protection where I need it in my daughter's toddler bed though, so that is where I will be using it. She is potty trained and learning how to nap without a pullup so these are perfect for the occasional accident. They absorb A LOT of liquid and don't even leak through to the mattress. I think that in a baby's crib though the crib pad should cover the entire mattress, so I will stick to full sized fitted crib pads for my other child.

This not your typical crib pad. It doesn't seem plasticky at all. It is very soft and washed up nicely. Wish I would've had this kind with my first 2 kids! You won't be disappointed with this one! Especially since it is about the same price (maybe cheaper) as the lesser quality ones at department stores!

My wife washed this cover with something velcro and it pulled at the fabric a bit. Recommend not washing it with velcro items.
