For safety reasons I was reluctant to purchase a bumper. After looking at this one in person and seeing that it had ties on top and bottom I decided to purchase it. My daughter did fine without it but I like the color it brought to the crib. I wanted her to be able to see the cute animal design so I have the pattern facing in toward her. Her crib has a drop down side so I have the bumper pad running across the back and ends of the crib. I took the excess pad and wrapped it back around the outside of each crib end and tied it. None of the solid blue shows. I am very pleased with the quality of this bumper pad and highly recommend it.

I really love these bumper pads and also the quality after washing is very good. the only thing i don´t like is the way the strings work. there are not enough and also they rip off easily. not stitched well for the price. Generally bumper pads are not recommended for babies before age 12 months since the air gets blocked away from the bed, also suffication could be a problem. We have bought a convertable crib (common in Europe) which can be used till approx. age 5 and so we will attach the bumper to the bed later. anyhow we still love it. it looks and matches perfectly to the rest of safari.

Despite the SIDS risk this is a cute addition to the nursery until the kids can turn over then take it out of the crib!

I love this bumper. The embroidered animals are plush and very cute. Colorful too. Just about any color in the set you can use to paint/decorate the rest of your nursery with. I just wish the inside of this bumper also had the patchwork/animal design on it. Instead it is just plain blue--like the trim on the outside. So, when you walk into the room and look into the crib, what you will see is basically a blue bumper. Other than that, its a nice bumper--the set is great!

I searched all over the internet and in the stores for the perfect nursery set for my son that was only a few months away from coming into the world. I finally found this set online last year and just fell in love with it! It was exactly what I wanted for my son's nursery. The little animals on the bumper pad, valances, and hamper are fleece, and they stand out from the material, which adds just a little bit more to the set to make it unique. The little animals combined with the colors just makes a very relaxing and stimulating environment. I love being in my son's room along with all my family and friends. I have gotten so many compliments about his nursery!! I painted his walls the kind of aqua green that is used in the set and then I free-handed and painted four of the animals on the walls. I put the lion above his crib, the elephant and giraffe above his changing table, and the crocodile above his dresser. I have several pictures if anyone would like to see the whole set in a room. You are more than welcome to e-mail me if you would like. (AggieGirl1979@hotmail.com) I just can't say enough about this set...I Love It!!

I really thought these were the cutest bumper pads, but after hearing over and over again how you shouldn't use bumper pads because of risk of suffication, I decided it wouldn't be worth the risk to put them on the crib. I don't think there are enough ties on them to hold them securely for one, and even if there were I wouldn't be comfortable with the thought of my daughter getting her head caught up under them. She has been able to scoot across her crib since she was a newborn so there was never an ideal time to use these. Again, cute for the nursery set up pre-baby, but I wouldn't use afterwards.

I recieved this bumper as a shower gift and I really like the colors and the quality. The only thing is that it doesn't come with instructions on how to attach it to your crib and its not as self-explanitory as one might think it would be. The picture on the packaging shows the pattern facing inwards towards the baby, and no bumper on the sliding side rail so I guess you have to double it back on the sides but the ties end up weird that way. We'll see how it works out, but otherwise its a good quailty bumper!

I received the safari bedding as a shower gift. I have the comforter, the bumper pad, the dust ruffle, two fitted sheets, and the rug. I also received the nightlight and valances as shower gifts. I was able to find the safari border at a Target Greatland in my area. It really adds to the room. I was also able to find the wall hangings, but I'm not sure if I will use them or not. Everything is well-made, and we hope to use it for baby number one, as well as other children that we might have in the future.

The bumper was very cute and colorful and I was excited to put it on the baby's crib...until I put it on...no matter how I tried to fit it onto the crib (it is a white spindle Jenny Lind crib full-size) it fit very akwardly and never quite right. There were large spaces where it should have fit snugly around the inside of the crib. I was very disappointed since it is very colorful and matches the sheet and comforter we received as gifts.

Ok just so you guys know, as a student of child development and safety, your child WILL NOT suffocate due to a use of bumper pads. The only reason this has happened is because the parents have not securely positioned their sleeping child and the child rolls over, buries his or her face in the bumper, and suffocates. You should, however, remove the bumpers once your child is able to pull him or her self to a standing position in the crib, since the bumper can be used as a step to climb up and fall out. I hope this puts some of your minds at ease.
