Cot Bumpers

Once your baby starts to move around, she's bound to knock her head against the slats or poke her little arms or feet between the slats. Our bumpers are here to protect against this:

• Protective - The thick polyester pad provides adequate thickness to protect against any head bumps that your kid might have while moving around in the crib. It also ensures that your baby's arms or legs don't get caught in the slats
• Softness - Made with exceptionally soft & fine Organic Cotton Twill fabric, it is most suitable for your baby's delicate and sensitive skin. Pre-washed, pesticide-free and hypoallergenic
• Organic Cotton - Cotton grown without the use of harmful chemicals, we use organic cotton to make sure that our products are safe for your babies. Good for your baby, good for the environment
• Size - Our Cot Bumpers come in a single long piece, meant to fit all standard size cribs (from 60x120" to 70x140"). The length can be overlapped to fit different sizes
• Easy to Install - The bumpers come with attachment straps at the back, that can just be wrapped around the crib slats, and stuck back on to the velcro. We have provided one set of ties, to adjust the length of the bumper for different crib sizes
• Easy Care - Fade-resistant and quick-drying; Machine washable on gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Avoid direct heating. Minimum Wrinkling, no ironing needed. For more, see our Care & Cleaning section.

Note on Safety

It is important to note that the use of bumpers is debated by different organizations:

• Some organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend to avoid loose items of bedding such as bumpers
• Others, such as the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, note the advantages of protecting the baby against bumps and the risk of getting their limbs stuck in the slats

If you decide to use crib bumpers, we strongly recommend attaching it securely to the crib so that there is no risk of it coming undone and falling on the baby. 

Further, once your child gets a bit older, you should consider removing the bumper to avoid it acting as something your child steps on to climb out of the crib.
