I wasn't sure about this when I ordered it, but am absolutely sold after a month's use. My 6-month old loses pacifiers at night and they fall behind the crib (as they did with my 2 1/2 year old)...instead of fishing them out in the dark of the night, they're all contained in the crib now with the breathable bumper. Also, even when my baby has her faced pressed against the crib wall/bumper, I don't worry at all about SIDS since she can still breath with the mesh material of the bumper. I wish I had this 2 years ago when my oldest was in the crib. I highly recommend it!!

I purchased this product with a little hesitancy after reading some reviews about the different crib styles not working with it. I am satisfied with it...it keeps my son's legs and arms inside the crib but he can pull it down and mess it up as it doesn't stay in place that well with the velcro. It does beat the old style padded crib liners so I really like that he can mush his face against the side of the crib without me fearing suffocation.

I purchased this breathable crib bumper after finding my 4 month old pinned up against our regular crib bumper and getting very upset. Nothing was wrong with her but it could have been. I immediately purchased this bumper and it fits on our crib fabulously, so now when I find her with her nose pinned up against this in the morning I know she can breathe fine at least. Fabric is soft, instructions easy, I would recommend this to a friend.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this product because of some of the bad reviews. I went ahead and bought it because I thought it was better than not having it. I'm so glad I did. It took a little creativity and a couple tries to get it installed to the point I was happy with it but it wasn't too bad at all. I realized those complaining about it folding over do not have it installed correctly. You need to pull it really tight and it works perfectly. I suggest checking out the Breathable Baby Website if you have any questions on them. There are a few options depending on your crib style. We were worried about suffocation risk with our regular bumper so weren't using it, but our son was getting his arms and legs stuck between the slats....this is perfect for all situations! I highly recommend to anyone.

This is a great product - I'm really surprised by the negative reviews. We've been using this for several months now and have had no problems, even though our baby is very "active." Before we bought this bumper, we had a cute plush one, but baby would sleep with her face right up against the bumper and I worried about the SIDS risk of re-breathing air. When we had no bumper our baby got her legs stuck between the crib slats. Now she sleeps just fine. This is the only thing that works for baby and gives me peace of mind. I can't understand why some reviewers found it hard to install or that it didn't stay in place - you do have to weave the bumper in and out of a few of the crib slats and pull it tight, but it's really very simple and ours stays in place just fine. There's a YouTube video of a woman installing one, if you want to get a better idea, but it really is simple. I'm going to make sure grandma gets one before we stay at her house again.
