Has anyone had experience using the Safe T Sleep? My 3 month old is rolling from back to tummy during his sleep but sometimes has trouble rolling back the other way. He's also waking up a lot during the night to practice this new skill, and my sleep is suffering!

I haven't tried one myself but I understand that sleep positioners including the safe-t-sleep are also considered to be SIDS risks? Anyway I have always found that sleep disturbances like when they learn to roll/crawl only end up lasting a week or two so it's probably worth waiting it out to see if it resolves.

Waste of money. The waking phase passes - once they're rolling you can leave them to sleep on their bellies

I know sleep positioners aren't recommended but my DS kept disturbing himself without one and it lasted quite a few months after learning to roll. We got one from target. Can't remember what it was called but it has a little lamb on one side. Was about $20 so not too expensive of it doesn't solve the problem. I've seen them still in stock recently.
