Crib bumper safety - no longer an issue with this bumper-less option

There's always been so much controversy about crib bumper safety. Even so, when my first son was a baby, I always longed for a bumper. They looked so cool in the crib and added that extra bit of style to the nursery. However since 2010 was the year that they banned the bumper, skip*hop has been smart to create a very clever alternative

 

The new Complete Sheet from skip*hop is a bumper-less crib sheet that lends the look of an actual bumper. Sounds like magic, right? The truth is, it's really a pretty simple sheet, with a contrasting design on the sides, only giving the illusion of a bumper. Still, it looks a heck of a lot like the real thing. I place it in the category of why-didn't-they-think-of-that-before?

The Complete Sheet comes in eight adorable patterns, for whatever style of nursery you've got. At 200-thread-count, they're also super soft.

Another thing I've always been careful to leave out of the crib is a blanket, for that Skip Hop introduced an Airflow Wearable Blanket in matching patterns to the Complete Sheets. So not only will your little one be safe, they'll also be completely camouflaged in their crib. -Melissa

The Complete Sheet 4-piece set, which includes the wearable blanket bed skirt and nursery blanket is $120, while the sheet alone is $24. Find them at SkipHop.com.
