Crib bumper pads have been around for decades and the older-style cribs had slats placed far apart, making it possible for a baby’s head to be trapped or suffocate.
Today, crib bumper pads have slats that are close enough together to prevent a baby’s head to fit through. There is no doubt that crib bumper pads have attractive looks and when they are matched with the right bedding sets, they make a nice nursery for your little one.
While some parents are concerned about their child’s arm and a leg getting stuck through the slats, others fear their baby could hit their head on the crib sides resulting in injuries.
