Baby bumpers are very controversial. You want to prevent your child’s arms or legs from getting caught in the slats of the crib, but you have heard horror stories about SIDS and a baby not being able to roll over and suffocating. Some baby bumpers have a bad name for falling off and are not tightly secured which poses a safety risk to your child.
The solution is using a 100% mesh liner. The liner is made from breathable materials and uses max airflow technology. It’s engineered to promote oxygen flow and helps minimize the risk of suffocation. This has been many parents first choice for over a decade.
BreathableBaby Mesh Crib Liner
This crib liner is the answer if you are scared of your child’s limbs getting stuck in the crib slats, but you are also scared that they might suffocate on a traditional crib bumper. We want to keep your little ones as safe as possible and give you peace of mind that your child will be safe while they sleep. The super soft mesh allows oxygen to flow freely through the material.
If your child presses their face against the mesh and can’t get up they will still be able to easily breathe through the mesh. The liner is made from hypoallergenic poly mesh fabric and is machine washable.
Who Needs This Product?

This is the same product, but is for when your child is a bit older.

Alternative Solutions
Some experts argue that even though the mesh is more breathable you should not put anything that is unnecessary in the crib. A great alternative solution are vertical crib bumpers that attach to each crib slat individually. This helps increase the airflow and helps reduce the risk of suffocation. Because each slat is covered individually it is virtually impossible for your child’s limbs to get stuck in the slats.
Bumper pads for cribs will always be debated. As technology improves so will the options to keep your baby safe. Traditional bumper pads have been banned in many different countries and if you are considering using baby bumpers it is suggested to use a safer option such as the BreathableBaby mesh crib liner.
