Bumpsters cot bar bumpers are designed to
protect
babies from bangs and
bumps as they start to move more at night. They
wrap individually around the bars
of a cot
softening hard edges and allow better
air circulation than traditional
cot bumpers.
The
Bumpsters attach using velcro and are
easy to
install. The subtle
dot and stripe
patterns match well with most
nursery schemes and the overall look is
appealing.
However, having had a set of
Bumpsters on my five
month old son's
cot for a few weeks, I'm afraid I do find it
irritating that
they tend to
ride up and down the cot bars and need
repositioning daily. I'm also not sure that they do the
job
of
preventing bangs and bumps any better than traditional
cot bumpers.
Whether
Bumpsters are going to be of
interest to you
therefore comes down to whether you are concerned about
air flow to your
baby
at night, and whether you feel happy to pay more for
that
design feature – personally I think they're a bit pricey.
Bumpsters sets are currently available in stone and white,
soft pink and white and
soft blue and white assorted
striped ticking and
polka dotted fabrics to create a striking
decorative effect around the cot.
Available as a set of
eight small or
six large Bumpsters for £32.50 from www.hippychick.com
