    With over 60 nursery and kids’ room designs to our credit, we think it’s safe to say that we’re asked about crib bumper pads a lot. For some parents, the crib bumper pads is an absolute must. Today, we wanted to share our thoughts, and more importantly get yours. Please let us know where you stand on crib bumper pads by commenting on this post.

    On the flip side, last Fall, we sat down to get her take on bumper safety.  Her statement: “bounce the bumpers”. Additionally, in a recent conversation with a prominent parenting magazine, we learned they will no longer be printing photos of bumpers without a safety caveat. With slight form and function, alternative styles are available to combat the safety concerns of standard bumpers – like the crib bumper pads shown here.

    While my own children are plenty old enough to be out of harm’s way (huge sigh of relief!), the controversy irks many families who are expecting or have infants at home. So, we reached out to one of our favorite crib bedding manufacturers  – to get her thoughts both as a Mom and as a maker or adorable crib bedding. According to Katy, “As any expecting parent will find, there seems to be pros and cons to everything involving your child… to breast feed or bottle… to swaddle or not…. pacifier or thumb…. the debates are endless! And at the end of the day, each parent decides on what is best for them and their child. There’s no question that the crib bumper pads help finish out a crib, it’s like having a comforter and shams on your master bed.
