CozyWedge ~ Safer, Simpler Bumper Alternative Review and Giveaway



When our daughter was still in a crib, I knew that a growing number of medical and safety experts were advising against the use of traditional, bulky crib bumpers due to the concern that they can pose serious dangers, including the risk of SIDS and suffocation. I wanted what was best for her, so we opted not to have a traditional bumper. I wanted her to have something that would keep her safe from rolling into the crib rails, but didn't realize there are options out there other than bulky bumpers. Thankfully we had no problems, but since having our son I happened to come across CozyWedge and am SO glad that I did!


CozyWedge is a safer, simpler bumper alternative. Some of the features/benefits this product offers are:
  • the firm wedges won't block your baby's airway
  • the fact that they're low profiles means that there's full air flow and your baby is visible at all times
  • it lifts out for easy sheet changing
  • the slipcover is organic and washable
We were sent the CozyWedge in Avocado to review. When I received it in the mail it was even nicer than I expected it to be. The material is a soft organic cotton and the foam is firm, yet comfortable. I can see how this would definitely be a safer alternative to many of the crib bumpers we see on the market today.



The CozyWedge bumpers fit snuggly around the crib, won't slip down and are VERY easy to remove when changing sheets. I love that they cushion the crib so Kaden is safe when in it, yet they are firm and won't pocket around his mouth or nose. The foam is actually the same as that used in swimming noodles and is nonabsorbent, CFC-free and odorless.


I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. When it arrived, I was able to quickly put it together by placing the foam wedges in the slipcover. After that, all I had to do was place it in his crib and tie it to the rails. It was truly a breeze, and best of all...SO worth it knowing that it's a safer option than having a traditional bumper in his crib.


Picture from the CozyWedge website which shows how easy it goes togetherI am very impressed with how well the CozyWedge works. It couldn't have come at a better time either, because recently Kaden has begun to move and roll around more in his sleep. I am comforted to know that he is safe when in his crib now that we have the CozyWedge! From my experience, I would definitely recommend this product to parents who have children in cribs. The CozyWedge is also available in a variety of great colors! I was very pleased with the avocado and how well it went with the decor we have in Kaden's room!
