What Goes Bump in the Night

Wonder Bumpers

To bumper or not to bumper? That is the question.

Get the answer with Wonder Bumpers, the new solution from mom Catherine Hall of Go Mama Go Designs.

Made of soft padding, Wonder Bumpers zip vertically (and tightly) around each individual crib slat. The unconventional design prevents heads from banging against hard sides while eliminating issues of breathability. And unlike with traditional bumpers, little climbers can’t use them as a boost out of the crib.

The machine-washable fabrics come in mix-and-match patterns with coordinating sheets and bed skirts.

So the question becomes, “What color?”
