Baby Products Reviews of BreathableBaby Crib Bumper for Slatted Cribs - Pink
Customer Review: Had to do something!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Better than the alternative
Summary: 4 Stars
I was able to get my breathable bumper on the secondary market. I bought TWO nursery sets for my daughter at consignement stores. I loved the regular bumpers for them. However, I kept reading about safety and the concern over regular bumpers. Oh well.
My little one slept for over 5 months in a travel crib in my bedroom but the time came when she needed to be in her own room in her crib. I was concerned that she would bump her head on the bars of the crib so I didn't want to put her in there with nothing. I saw this at a store and thought "What a great idea!" After finding it at the consignment store, washing it and putting it in her crib I noticed a few things I wasn't too keen about.
When you 'install' it you have to pull really, really hard to make sure there is no slack in the bumper. It's tighter and seems safe but it isn't as tight as I would like it to be. Another thing is that the corners are a little exposed because this comes in two pieces. One part is for the front of the crib and the other section is for the other three sides. Every corner is still covered but I like the way other bumpers are able to cover all sections and still allow the usage of its drop side.
Overall I would suggest it. When my daughter begins to pull herself up she won't be able to use this as an aide to escape like she would a regular bumper. I feel better that if she is right up next to it with her face she won't suffocate.
Customer Review: Great & safe for baby
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read about this in Consumer Reports, where they recommend removing bulky bumpers & using the mesh bumpers. The mesh bumper consisted of 2 pieces & was fairly easy to attach & velcro into place. It's actually a little padded & should prevent baby from hurting their head should they bump it. I also like the fact that they have pink & it's actually really cute in my daughter's crib.
The best part is that in the middle of the night when she starts fussing, I can just raise my head and see through the bumper to see what she's doing. It really gives me peace of mind to know that she's safer in her crib with these bumpers.
Customer Review: Definitely worth it!

BreathableBaby Crib Bumper for Slatted Cribs - Pink I absolutely love this bumper and it was very easy for me to attach to the crib. Our baby kept pushing her legs through the slats and it would bruise her and that stopped the moment we put the bumper on. She can put her foot on the top of the bumper, but she can't wedge it in the slats like before. It also has been wonderful in keeping her pacifier in her crib. I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to clean her pacifier anymore. I absolutely recommend this bumper.Customer Review: Ok Product But Could Be Better
Summary: 3 Stars
It took me forever to try and get this installed on my standard sized crib because the long piece wasn't long enough to fit all the way across the crib due to the thick posts. Regardless of how I positioned it, one slat was not covered - which in my mind defeats the whole purpose (it could be that slat where my daughter will get her arm or leg stuck. You just never know). The manufacturer should have made the pieces and the velcro longer so you have more flexibility and better fit. Other than than, it remains to be seen if it will be a useful product since baby will not be here for another 6 weeks.
