Okay so the big question!!! Has your baby learned to untie these? If so, don't these pose a similar risk as bumpers if they came off and fell in crib?

I have a 10 month old. When I put this on her crib I tied them in a knot and they're still tied. She tugs them all the time but I've been satisfied.

I have a 15mnth old and no he has not gotten this off. It works well so there are not teeth marks all over the crib...

So I didn't use this until my son was about 10 months old. At that point he could stand on his own and move all around. He has never tried to untie them, though I am sure he could. To me at that point it was no more dangerous than the blanket he sleeps with every night. The big risk for suffocation with bumpers and things is that the infant is not able to roll over or move so that they can breathe. Truthfully you do not need this before they can pull up and stand and eat the furniture and at that point the risk of suffocation is so much lower it has never been a concern. This is a great product and looks great on my crib, and is way better than him chewing and eating the paint on the crib. And it doesn't damage your crib like the gummy teething guards do.

I double knotted mine to start with & she just noticed the ties recently but can't undo them (yet anyway). I guess they could pose the same type of problem if you're worried about bumpers. The underside of the CribWrap is plastic (so not a breathable material). My daughter has slept on her stomach from the time she learned to roll over and she flops around so much that I was glad I had also put bumpers in her bed (which I had to weave through the slats since she could pull the bumper down). I have bumpers and CribWraps on the front & both sides of her crib and have never had a problem.

No my child has not gotten these undone. They've stayed securely tied. He's very curious & always figured out how to get into things & hasn't tried anything with these. He's currently 21 months old & we've had these on his crib since he began teething quite a while ago.

I'm not able to look at the crib since I am not near it right now but I don't think they are more than 2 inches apart. If your worried about the baby falling through or getting stuck it will not happen.

We have kept them on. Please let me know if you find out that they are supposed to come off.

You shouldn't use a bumper - they are a suffocation hazard for your baby. This goes both for the bassinet and for a full size crib, whenever you are ready to switch your baby over.

Yes, for sure. They are tight enough to stay on when all babies want to do is pull them off. They also very padded so it doesn't hurt them. They are also good for them to grow in vs growing out of.

Honestly, we have this item attached to our crib that has been converted to a toddler day bed, but it's definitely a safety hazard if your are the overly cautious sort. It isn't installed properly (we had to use zip ties!) and It's almost but not quite as long as the crib itself- which means there's the slightest possibility their head/neck could get stuck. We have it on our 2.5 y/o's convertible crib but it's definitely not a great fit.

I didn't get it for my daughter until she was over a year old, but you don't carry these around. You take the baby out of this and carry him/her (or wear in a sling, etc) instead of carrying the baby in the car seat.

They are not an completely secure fit. It takes little effort to pull then apart. I bent mine trying to make then more secure. That being said, they have not pulled apart on their own.

My 14 month old plays w the strings but it would be pretty hard to untie. I had a hard time w it! Ha! These are great.

With my first, I didn't use the restraints til she was 4-5 months and by then she was transitioning to a crib. It really is too deep to give a newborn any way of getting out. I stopped using it with #1 when she was pushing to stand (flat on her back) in the sleeper and I was afraid she would bounce herself out the top of it.

I believe it's safe for every night use. We kept our son in a crib until he was almost 4 years old for safety reasons, he was a crazy active sleeper. It's been about a year, he's almost 5 & has not fallen out of bed, yet. I do check on him before I go to bed & often move him back up to his pillows because he finds his way to the only unsafe spot without bumpers, the foot of the bed. We had a typical bed rail on our 3 year old daughter's bed & I ended up switching that out with these foam bumpers because they were working well with our boy, changing sheets are SO much easier, & they look better than the clunky bed rail.

Mine do not fall off. They clicked on and now I would have to use something to force it off if I had to.

No, they are too slippery and course to tie...I recommend not buying them at all...we wanted to use them for dancing and when the kids stepped on the ones on the ground they slipped and fell, it's a miracle no one broke a bone

They don't click on hard they sit on which is easy for the baby or toddler to take them off. Like if I held one upside down the top would stay on. But easy enough to glide off. Hope that helps. ((some of mine stay on better than others))

My daughter is 3, so I am not positive. BUT I do remember them holding on well, and holding up well after (MANY) washings, and do not remember feeling they were too rough for her. I have given them as gifts at several baby showers!

The sides Are secured by Velcro.... Probably not sturdy enough, but depends on your baby. My boys always worked their way around quickly (I moved my 6 week old out of the product). Maybe one without fold down sides?

Yes...they easily remove...even a baby can take them off, but she used to chew on those instead of her crib...now we use them on her toddler bed just in case!
