I remember babysitting for a little girl who liked to sleep with her head buried under the bumper- definitely not safe. When I was pregnant with my first set of twins all the bumpers I liked were soft and fell after the first wash. My sister spent a fortune on a special bumper with removable covers that were hard foam that never lost shape. They were pretty but with twins who spit up a ton, getting the covers on and off were a royal nightmare. One of my son’s loved cuddling up to the bumper and I was scared of him bumping his head so I left it on. When my son was 10 months old he climbed out of his crib in the middle of the night and I thought we were being robbed when I heard him playing. Out came the bumpers. The nights that followed were filled with screams from bumped heads and arms and legs stuck between the rails. We bought the mesh bumpers but my son’s tore them. Finally we put on crib tents until they moved to beds. When my second set of twins arrived we received 2 new crib sets. The bumpers went it since they looked so pretty but changing the sheets were such a headache that we ditched those as well. My new little guy just outgrew his bassinet and HATES his crib. I guess he’s used to the nice cuddly bassinet with padding all around. I have no interest in dealing with bumpers again but miracle bumpers sound like a great solution, providing pretty and cozy protection that’s easy to clean and safe!

For my first daughter, we used the traditional crib bumper. We never had an issue with her face being too close to it (although now, looking back on it, I think we were foolish to believe it to be safe). She did, however, attempt to use it as a climbing tool to get out of her crib once she was standing. So UNSAFE!! The second I realized that she was doing this, and could potentially fall out of her crib, and break her neck, legs, etc..we removed it, and had it repurposed into cute matching wall hangings for her room. This time around, I knew better than to put the traditional bumper in the baby’s crib. Since most bedding sets come with the bumper already, we did the same thing as last time, and had it repurposed into throw pillows for the rocking chair, and some wall hangings. I am wishing that we had something for the railings, though, since my daughter is so young, and still makes the “startle” motion with her arms and legs. She has already knocked her poor little knuckles on the wood. Wonder Bumpers seem like such an AMAZING middle ground, and I am so thrilled to see how safe they are!

I have a 8 and 9 yr old and had traditional bumpers for them. I couldn’t use them because they never seemed very secure in the crib – the ties just didn’t line up right with the sleigh style crib. I only had them because they came with the bedding set, but they ended up being taken off before the babies even used the crib. We had our third baby last year and again the bumpers came with the set but didn’t fit right in this crib either! Recently our daughter started standing in the crib and she now gets her legs stuck and screams. This has happened at least 6 times now. I was looking for something to put on the slats that would be safe and would make the space between them small enough so she wouldn’t be able to get stuck. I remembered the Wonder Bumpers from a baby magazine and searched until I found them I ordered them today and hope that it will solve our problem. They are super cute too!! If it does solve the problem it will be a great selling feature because I know a lot of moms who have this same problem. Thank you for this great invention!

My 6 month old woke up this morning with his face up against our traditional crib bumper. I immediately removed it and starting searching online for a better solution. I intended to leave the crib bare but now that he’s moving around a lot I’d still like to protect his sensitive head from bonks in the night. These Wonder Bumpers are exactly what I’m looking for! In addition, there are so many styles that would match his current nursery color scheme. I’m so excited to find this product. Thank you!

When I was younger, my best friend’s mother had a baby. He somehow scooched his way up to the bumper and suffocated. I can’t remember exact age, but he was a month or so. It was so devistating for such a small baby pass away. One of our family-friends daughters used the crib bumper to climb out of her crib and fell and broke her arm. But thank God that’s all she broke, because it could have been worse. Now that I’m older and I now have two daughters and another baby on the way, I am wanting to get rid of this bumper…I don’t want the same problems as so many other people have had. Problem is, I have a round crib and they stopped making bedding for them. Even when they fit, the bumpers wouldn’t even fit around the whole crib. Your wonder bumpers are a great product, and I hope that I can get some before this new baby comes! They’re all so nice, but the rainbow love is def my favorite Thanks for the new-and-improved (cooler and more modern) version of the bumper!!

I have never used the traditional bumpers and I will never use them. I don’t even recommend those breathable bumper things people talk about with those breathable ones you don’t get any kind of padding what so ever. The wonder bumper is the best of both worlds. You get something that is safe for your child which gets better air flow and you get padding so once they start moving about there not going to hurt themselves. There are so many other things to worry about think about I didn’t want to worry about my son sleeping and something bad happening. I don’t have to worry with the wonder bumpers I know he will be safe! Bottom line is I love them!

I still have my sons bumper pad on his crib. He is 6 months old today and right now he just looks at the design and touches it but doesn’t put his face near it. We have a monitor that I can see him in but once he really starts crawling I’m probably going to have to remove it. This looks like a great way to replace the one I have with!!! Thanks!
