Parents concerned about letting their babies sleep in a bare crib now have a solution


Wonder Bumpers are a new design of crib bumpers that remove the suffocation risk associated with traditional bumpers that wrap around the bottom of the crib interior. Wonder Bumpers are a set of individual bumpers that you zip around each crib rail separately, leaving space between the rails for airflow. Parents do not have to worry about their little ones pulling the bumpers down on themselves either, because Wonder Bumpers zipper closure keeps them securely in place while making it easy for parents to remove them for washing.
