How about putting them on the outside of the rails??? Hey, what do I know. My "baby" is 32. She had bumpers on her crib and lived to tell about it.

I will try that.

I know most people never have a problem but after coming in the morning to find she had wiggled herself up there and was turned on her side with her face merely an inch away... it's just not a nessecary risk to take for me.

As far as the bumpers go, I'm sure it's very very rare that something actually goes wrong if used properly. They are made for a reason. My oldest got his legs caught in his crib one too many times, so I used them until he learned to pull himself up...they can use them as little climbing ladders to climb out of the crib. The breathable crib bumpers are awesome. I just bought a couple (two different colors) from One Step Ahead. www.onestepahead.com

I use a "leash" for Kai's bink and it works wonders.

Yeah I was worried about her legs getting caught if I took the bumper off but knew I would never get any sleep again if I left them on after finding her face so close to it one time lol.

I think the breathable ones are the way to go for us. She moves around A LOT so I don't want her getting her legs caught but don't want her smooshing her face into it either lol. At least this way if she decides to cuddle up with it I won't have to worry about it.

I guess it sounds silly to some people that I am even worried about it... I know tons of mothers have used them and never had a problem... but some mothers have used them and lost their babies. it's just not a risk I am willing to take no matter how ridiculous it sounds to anyone else.

PLUS... those puffy bumpers I had are SUCH a pain when it comes time to change the sheets and stuff. lol they are so big and bulky it's almost impossible to maneuver around them and a pain in the butt to undo all the straps everytime lol. Even when I would take the one side of the crib off... because they were so bulky it was hard to get the mattress back in.

I totally agree with you there!!! They are a pain in the rear end when it comes to changing sheets. And I hate the ties too. Very annoying if I do say so myself.

I ordered a set from the website you provided. They are back ordered though.. should be available feb 29th they said. They are REALLY hard to find. Walmarts in the area are out of stock, target is out of stock... even hard to find in stock on amazon.

It's nice that they are velcro lol really saves the hassel of those pain in the arse ties

Yes... I didn't get a chance to really look around on it but what I did see was quite interesting. I think that is definitely a site I will be visiting from time to time thank you for directing me there
