Bumper pads were created when the slats in cribs were not standardized and safe. They were used to prevent the baby from getting their head caught between the bars and potentially strangling himself. This is no longer a concern, provided one has a crib manufactured after the 1973 safety measure was instituted.

Many babies are suffocating from bumper pads. It increases the risk of suffocation and SIDS and are no longer needed. Help us take a stand and help keep our babies safe while sleeping by banning bumper pads and educating parents on the dangers of this pretty fluffy and dangerous item!!!!!

 27 babies have died from bumper pads since the mid 80's. Although the number mayb not seem big to the average person to those families one death is too many!!!
