We just baught our baby crib, its one that grows with your child and it has a solid backboard on the back that can be used as a headboard later, i went to put on all the bedding and i cant figure out how im suppose to hook the bumper? am i just clueless on this or am i not going to be able to use a bumper with this kind of crib? If i cant this really upsets me because i searched for cribs for a long time and all the ones with bars in the back i didnt like.. i really like the solid back alot better and i think it looks nicer. Anyone else had this problem??
thanks everyone :0)

There is absolutely no scientific data to point SIDS related deaths to bumpers, though there is data that points to baby suffocation to bumpers that are not securley fastened. And you should never put a comforter / quilt in with baby at night, unless he/she is swaddled tightly. Sleepsacks are the best for night time.
The mesh works very well too. You definately need a bumper of some sort (Fastened correctly) so baby does not get their wrists , ankles, hands or feet stuck and/or broken between the crib slats.
The main thing about any bumpers is that you will need to make certain the bottom of the bumpers are tight against the crib mattress. You can do that by securing the bumper pads very tightly to the back posts of the bed (headboard). What brand of baby bedding did you buy and is there a picture of the crib I can see somewhere? If so I can tell you exactly how to fix the bumpers properly. Thanks!!

I think your out of luck with the bumper. My only suggestion is to lay in the bumper in place while the baby is NOT in the crib for appearances. That is what they do in the stores. Since it won't be attached, remove it for bedtime.
Don't get too down about it, the crib bumper is a very forgettable item once the baby is here. And when people come over to visit, just put it in its place, and no one's the better.

If it's not completely secure and tight then don't use it. Anyways those big pillow type bumpers shouldn't be used in the first place due to the SIDS risk. We put a mesh breathable bumper in our crib ($25 babies r us). It came in 2 pieces, one for the front of the crib, and one that would go around the sides and back, you could just use the front piece for your crib.

i does no longer difficulty procuring an finished set. I spent $ninety.00 on a 13 piece crib set. the in reality issues i'm particularly utilizing are the crib sheet, the mattress skirt & the curtains. because of the possibility of SIDS bumper pads, the duvet & pillows are literally not recommended. to manage to stay away from some funds only purchase a crib sheet & crib skirt. it truly is what I advise. wish that permits.

I'd say just secure the ties on the bumper where any posts or rails might be on the side. I'm not really familiar with those convertible cribs, but that's the only thing I know of to do.

You don't need a bumper. I had to take it out of my son's crib because he kept getting his feet and hands stuck in it, and it made him very mad. Also they don't stay in place once you do get them tied on, so I would say don't even use it.

Skip the bumpers. You have to take them off as soon as baby is able to wiggle around all anyhow, for SIDS safety.
