  In actuality, crib bumper pads should never be used in the cribs of children under a year old, in addition, they can cause problems in children up to 2 years of age. They have been connected to cases of SIDS when children become trapped underneath the bumpers or against them, unable to pull themselves free. However, past the age of 1.5 years, this risk is greatly decreased.
  However, this only applies to crib bumper pads. There is a new form of bumpers, the mesh breathable crib bumper pads, that are safe to use in cribs after a child is just a few months old.

  However, these may actually be unsafe for a newborn baby and it is important to take steps to ensure that your child is going to be safe. Thankfully, after a short while, crib bumper pads are both safe and recommended for children with just a few small checks to their environment.
