In the Nusery: Bumpaire, a New Kind of Bumper

Erin Behan — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:26:00 GMT

Oh bumpers, the cornerstone of any smart nursery sheeting set, but the source of much consternation for parents (are they safe? are they not? when to discontinue use?--full disclosure I have one). Responding to the debate is Lidy Mac, a company that has created a bumper with innovations in the both the tying system and the area where the bumper meets the mattress. Their answer to the bumper, the Bumpaire, ties in the middle back of the bumper, meaning no strings will ever dangle to entice baby. It also has vents at the bottom to eliminate the possibility that carbon monoxide might gather (although that fear sounds a little extreme to me). Of course, innovation comes at a high price, in this case my favorite style, the Montecito in blue, part of the Classique collection starts at $435 (photo below). Shop all the styles.

Green Baby: Woodland Bedding

Woodland creatures! Organic bedding!

Introduce your urban baby to Mother Nature with the darling deer and charming turtles on this line of forest-inspired organic bedding and accessories from Amenity Nursery.

Coordinating sheets, blankets, bumpers, floor pillows, and wall art are available. Amenity textiles are made with organic natural fibers and and printed with low-impact dyes; the floor pillow is stuffed with spun, recycled plastic bottles that are manufactured locally.

I find the green and brown palette curiously restful. Perhaps your child will, too. Prices start at $40 at 2modern.

Babble Live from ABC: Cozy Wedge - The Bumper Alternative

kbayless — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 19:25:00 GMT

For those parents a bit skittish of the bad press bumpers have received, the Cozy Wedge offers a unique bumper alternative. Made of the same foam found in those floaty pool noodles, the Cozy Wedge provides protection without the suffocation risk. Available in 5 color options, the Cozy Wedge cover is machine washable and contains no pesky ties. An interesting ideas for infants, but my 15-month old would most certain start using the foam inserts to do battle with his flying cow mobile. Available at Cozy Wedge.
