Organic crib bumper pads are made up of baby-safe materials and will be the best option for your child.
Crib bumper pads have been around for decades and the 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.
