5.0 out of 5 stars ~*~*~Much safter than regular bumpers, peace of mind~*~*~, October 19, 2009

This review is from: BreathableBaby Crib Bumper for Slatted Cribs - Pink (Baby Product)

After a couple of times looking into my daughters cribs and finding them sleeping with their face smooshed righ up against their traditional bumper and almost having a heart attack while picking them up to make sure they were still breathing, I decided to take off their bumpers.

Their cribs are slatted all the way around and I soon learned that no bumper was just as unsafe as having one. Both of my girls got their arms & legs stuck ALL the time. Since I was so worried about them getting stuck I came in their room at every little peep and was sleeping on egg shells.

Thankfully I did because one night my daughter started crying and I rushed in to find her with her right arm sticking out the side of the crib and she was FACE DOWN and unable to push herself up off of her face with only her left arm because her right arm was stuck outside of the slat and could not push against anything. That was something I never wanted to happen again and thankfully I was going into their room at every little peep. Both of my daughters ended up doing that again the next day while my husband was at work. So I decided once my husband got home we were going to the store and buying some right away.

They were very easy to put on and fit our cribs great. There are a few spaces were there is a gap but they are in the corners and not where my daughters would get their arms stuck while sleeping.

FINALLY my daughters were not getting their arms or legs stuck! I also did come in a few times to find them sleeping with their faces smooshed right up against this mesh bumper but I didn't almost have a heart attack like with the regular bumper because I had tested it out myself and saw how easily it is to breathe through.

I also like that if my daughters try to stand on these to get themselves out, it crumbles and they are not able to get out. And even though these are breathable they are still soft, my daughters have hit their heads a few times and it didn't hurt.

After having these I was finally able to get a good nights sleep. If I had to do it all over again I would have ONLY purchased these and not a regular bumper. Hospitals tell you not to have a bumper in your babys crib and just because a regular bumper might match your bedding & be "really cute" that isn't worth risking your babys safety.

My little (BIG) baby buckled her bassinet by 12 wks old!!! So we had to move her into her crib sooner than I wanted. So, I ordered the breathable bumper because other bumpers are NOT safe or recommended for cribs (ask your doctor about it).

It was easy to install. I followed the picture and made adjustments for the differences in my crib and the pictured crib. I bought my crib at Target (I can't remember the name) it does NOT have a drop down side. The two breathable panels were a pretty shade of pink, not too bright. They fit perfectly in the crib. I did not have any open areas remaining when finished. The panels overlapped a little on the sides. The only area that could be considered open is where the breathable panel weaves behind the slats (this is only in the corners, see item picture). This has not created a problem yet. The only problem I can see would be hitting her head on those slats (she loves to scoot around the crib when kicking) but the bumper only helps with that a little anyway since it is not padded. The bumper works best for keeping hands and feet inside the crib.

I have also pulled the mattress in and out and changed the sheets without taking the bumper off. I just have to tug it gently back into place.

I'm glad I bought it. I haven't found anything better out there and I wouldn't use a padded or decorative bumper ever in her crib. Other stores have it cheaper online, but with Amazon's free shipping, it works out as a better deal. Also, Amazon was the only place I found the bumper in pink!

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a breathable bumper taller than 11 inches!, September 19, 2009

I ordered this with fingers crossed... and was so happy when it arrived and I saw it is taller than the standard 11 inch bumper. The manufacturer should list the measurements somewhere in the post... this product is worth the few extra dollars to avoid injury with slatted cribs. It is easy to install however it does slip down so I used some double sided tape (easily removed with goo-gone when I remove the bumper in a few months) at each corner to to keep it in place. The color is a brighter pink. The material is soft. My daughter hasn't gotten her leg stuck once since I installed this product! Thanks!
