What Experts Say
Child Safety House Calls, a company started by two emergency-medicine pediatricians, gave BreathableBaby’s bumpers a thumbs-up. Dr. Joel Clingenpeel, one of the co-founders, said the bumpers are a safe middle ground between the pillowy bumper found in most cribs and the preference of pediatricians for no crib bumpers at all.
“The traditional pillow-like bumpers probably do more harm than good,” he said. Moms want them to prevent their babies from getting their limbs caught between the slats, but that’s a rare hazard.
Additionally older children use traditional bumpers as a step to climb out of a crib and fall to the floor. Dr. Clingenpeel sees a couple of cases like that a month in his ER. Breathable Baby's bumpers prevent these injuries by collapsing when stepped on. Dr. Clingenpeel finds a lot of moms are reluctant to give up traditional bumpers. “Many moms resist our advice until they learn it can prevent trips to the ER,” he says.
TEAM OF PEDIATRICIANS SELECT BEST CHILD SAFETY PRODUCTS
Virginia Beach, VA -- Child Safety House Calls announces the BreatheableBaby® Breathable Bumper Award of Excellence
After a thorough evaluation by pediatricians who specialize in the field of child safety, BreatheableBaby®’s Breathable Bumper was selected for its innovation in helping parents keep their children safe. “This product can prevent so many of the tragedies I see everyday in the emergency room,” says pediatric emergency medicine physician Dr. Joel Clingenpeel. Nationally a child is treated in the emergency department for an unintentional injury approximately every ninety seconds1. “I want every parent to take action rather than leave their children’s safety to chance.”
Child Safety House Calls is a pediatrician-managed organization whose mission includes injury prevention advocacy and childproofing promotion. The organization established the Award of Excellence to keep parents informed of the best child safety products and services. Criteria for their experts’ selections include: effectiveness, innovation, ease of use, durability, breadth of target audience, and professional experience with the product.
Congratulations to BreathableBaby® for its contributions to child safety:
BreathableBaby® Breathable Crib Bumpers. Many parents choose to line their infants’ cribs with bumpers despite the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The patented Breathable Bumpers Mesh crib bumpers provide a safer alternative to traditional bumpers by allowing infants who become trapped against the bumper to breathe through the fabric. BreathableBaby’s exclusive fabric with Sure-Breathe Technology helps maintain air access and reduces risks of suffocation. Visit www.BreathableBaby.com for more in formation.
