Go Mama Go Designs Wonder Bumpers, 38 Pack Review

Go Mama Go Designs Wonder Bumpers, 38 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
Easy to use and attach
Foam filling cushions impact when heads bump against the rails
Soft velvety/microfiber-like material
Attractive
Reversible colors
Stays in place
Machine washable

Cons:
Exposed white zipper teeth, slider, and steps.
Tedious to wash.

Neutrals:
All wonder bumpers are the same length of about two feet.As the only cushioned alternative to traditional bumpers, these command a hefty price. Fortunately, they perform the job needed. They're easy to attach to the 1.5" rails that I have, possibly even 2" wide rails by stretching just a bit, but not to larger corners. Each bumper arrives flat. One side pink; one side brown. It can be zipped around a rail on either side. This will be useful for either gender babies. For example, I can use the pink sides for a girl or the brown sides for a boy (or I could squeeze out another hundred bucks for a set of blue bumpers, which I'd rather not do.)

The crib I have has rails that are longer than two feet. For those rails, the top part of the rails will be exposed, because of course we want the bumpers placed where the baby will actually bump its head. Since I have exactly 38 rails, I would need to purchase additional bumpers in order to stack two on top of each other if I was concerned about appearance. I'm not.

The entire zipper is white, and is exposed. If I place the zipper so that it faces out, then the set doesn't look so great, but I can't have it face in, because I don't want zipper teeth marks on the baby's forehead. So the solution is to put the zipper to the side, and hope that the kid doesn't spin the bumper around.

It's great that the bumpers are machine washable. It's not so great that in order to wash them, I have to open the velcro flap on one end and remove the flimsy foam insert because that piece is not washable. Actually, removing it is not so bad, but putting them back is a bit of a chore. I don't expect to be washing all 38 of them very often, though, and I think I'd prefer removing them over having warped foam fillings.

Some other minor quality issues: There were a few loose threads on the bumpers, such that when I first opened the package, I wondered whether someone just slapped two pieces of cloth together with a piece of foam inside. (Which, I know, is essentially what it is,) but for the price, you almost hope that it would be a little better sewn, without fabric twisting to one side, or having an exposed zipper, or having loose visible threads. Again, it's a minor nitpicking issue right now, because as soon as I snipped the threads and placed the bumpers on the crib, all I could think of was, 'Gee, I wish I had purchased this set first and not wasted my money on the traditional bumpers I got.'

BreathableBaby CribShield Mesh Liner - White Review

This product gets two stars from me for two reasons1) my son likes to sleep up against the squishy side (more comfortable than having his head pressed against the crib rails), and 2) the satin that goes up over the side lengths is nice.

However, I don't like 1) each of the 4 panels are much shorter than the sides of the crib, 2) the short panels are strange and the velcro is in locations that just don't work, and 3) because it is 4 separate panels there is no coverage in the corners and there are gaps the perfect size for baby legs and arms to get stuck.I will have to install new velcro on the short ends to anchor those pieces in place.

I think that it is overpriced for the quality and design of the product.The idea is great.However, I wish the there were better pictures of this product online and that there were more products like this available.

Breathable Baby Universal Crib Bumper Review

When I was pregnant and shopping for the nursery, I was torn between what type of bumper to buy. One one hand I liked the softness of the Carter's brand bumper, but I liked the "breathable" bumper because my daughter was born in the beginning of summer and I wanted her to stay as cool as possible; so I bought the breathable bumper. When I put it on the crib, it looked very nice and while my daughter was little and imobile, it was very useful. As soon as she began to roll around, about 4 months, I would wake in the night to screams...her litttle arms and legs would get caught in the spacing of the crib, up and over the bumper! She would roll and turn while sleeping and apparently her limbs would lift over the bumper and the bumper would crumble under the light pressure of a babies arm. I have since bought the Carter's brand bumper and I am happy. It stands up to her limbs and no more limbs get caught. Great idea, but bumper needs work.

Our son was rolling over and planting his face against his old padded bumper.This bothered us for breathing reasons, but without the bumper he would push his arms and legs outside the crib, get stuck, and cry.

This resolved both issues.He places his face against the hard material, but can still breathe.The wedge shape also keeps his arms and legs in.

The only reason I did not give this four stars is due to the price.There is no way this should cost $60 (maybe $30) but in my opinion this is way overpriced.There doesn't seem to be an alternative we could find, so hopefully another company will enter this market to make the price reasonable for others.
