BreathableBaby - CribShield, White Satin

I think this product is great. I like that its mesh, not solid fabric. Only prob is that the front panel doesnt slide down well when lowering the front gate of the crib, but this bumper fits better than traditional crib bumpers anyway. Excellent overall, I would buy this type again.

This product is easy to attach to a crib and does just as it says...keeps arms and legs inside the crib. My son has a bad habit of lying on his back and putting his legs through the crib slats. I was concerned about him injuring himself, but am no longer since using this product.

This Crib Shield is being used in conjunction with the Breathable Crib Bumpers and as a set they provide the protection needed for my grandson.
He is very active and this prevents his arms and legs from getting caught in the rails.

I was going to use this product since my daughter recently started biting the wood on her crib. It is a Munire convertible crib and the edges of my crib were too wide for this product. Otherwise it would have been perfect. Nicely made.

I liked everything about this product except that on my crib it didn't totally cover the ends and I made sure that I installed it correctly. There is still a gap on the ends of the crib that the infant can still reach through. But it still is better than not having it at all.

This crib shield is recommended by safety experts, so I would use it even if it weren't as good as it is. It takes a bit of time and thought to install it, but the velcro fasteners worked well, and the fit for our standard drop side crib was almost perfect. The only thing I don't like is the gap it leaves on the ends between the 2 outside slats and the corner piece. I don't think it will fall down because the long sides lap over the top rails, unlike the smaller version, which looks about the size of conventional crib bumpers.

I purchased the crib shield when my daughter was about 8 months old. She's a great sleeper, but moves a lot, and I was constantly finding her with arms or legs sticking through the slats. She also kept dropping out the many pacifiers I'd leave in her crib.

As the owner of the Tots In Mind Crib Tent, we used it for my older son to keep the cat out, I was hoping this shield would be similar minus the tent part so the video monitor could still view my daughter sleeping and not just mesh. It is, to some degree.

The pros: It does help keep the pacifiers, arms and legs inside the crib.

The cons: It does not go around the entire crib -- we have a very basic crib, slats all around, and yet the end panels don't go from one end to the other, there is still one slat on each side that is without netting. My daughter learned very quickly to drop pacifiers out this hole. She hasn't gotten and arm or leg stuck out it though.

The end panels do not go up and over the top of the crib like on the long side panels. Instead, it velcros on around the sides of the slats. As I was putting it on this kind of bothered me and sure enough, two months later and my daughter is now using it to pull up. Not a huge issue in and of itself, a baby learning to stand is going to practice as much as he/she can, but the the danger lies in that the velcro comes partially undone every time, bunching it up and making it a choking hazard. After about a week of this happening every time she went to bed, I finally took off the end panels all together.

Overall, it helps keep everything inside the crib where it should be, but it would work a lot better if I could actually use the whole thing. I wish someone would make the Crib Tent, which is one piece and goes under the mattress on all four sides, minus the tent part. :)

I notice while shopping for my first crib that the straight and flat edges on cribs are not really the style anymore. Well unless your crib is shaped like a box these bumpers won't work. It's 4 separate pieces!

The corners are completely exposed, and it was surprisingly difficult to get them on correctly (took us over 30 minutes because we had to adjust the mattress height and then put the longer pieces of the bumpers on upside down to make them long enough). So far I hate these bumpers and will more than likely return them. Save your money or buy a different item! What a waste.

So far I am not happy at all with this breathable bumper. The side peices are not long enough. I knew before I bought it that the corners would be exposed, I didnt think that was a big deal, but my baby sure does. She immediately went to the corners, sticking limbs out and messing with anything she could find. I do like the top part to keep her from teething on the crib, I just wish it was long enough to reach the last slats. According to the instructions and pictures it is supposed to wrap around the last slat on either end and it doesnt. I feel like this item was way overpriced for its quality.
