Safely from Crib to Bed
One of the most frustrating and trying times of child rearing can be the transition from crib to bed. It is stressful for the child and for the parent(s). Don’t get discouraged….it may take some time, but it is well worth discovering what will work best to help your child cope with this major milestone in their lives.
As a Mom of two boys that are very close in age (only 15 months apart) and with two VERY VERY different personalities, it was quite clear from the beginning that I would need to come up with two clever ways to help our boys through the variety of “firsts” that were coming. One, I will call “spirited” and the other more “easy going”.
What they did have in common was the desire to choose their surroundings, including the bed bumper for big kids that I had designed especially for them.
If you are looking for ideas to make your child’s transition a little more smooth, calm and positive, just check out some of the previous posts I have written regarding a safe bedtime routine for kids…
Dr. Sears, of Parenting.com has some great ideas as well.
Whatever methods you choose, just make sure your child is not stressed and remember that they will eventually embrace their new surroundings.
Sleep well!

As a Mom, I used to be very concerned within moments of each of my boys falling asleep. They were (and still are) very active while they sleep. They toss and turn like crazy. Having somewhat small rooms, we have always pushed their bedsides against the wall, also preventing them from falling out on that side, while having a bed rail on the open side. The issue was that they were continually banging into the wall. They would often wake up crying because of it.
Another concern was the temperature of the wall. At the time, it was winter in New England so our walls get pretty chilly. It was very concerning to my Husband and I that they could rest up against the cold wall while they slept and wake up freezing from it.
I created these Bed Bumpers for Big Kids to eliminate all of our concerns. They measure the length of the bed at approximately 6 feet long, and 18” wide. They safely attach to the wall using three stips of hook & loop fasteners. The bottom of the bumper tucks slightly between the bed and the wall to keep it additionally in place. I made sure they were thick enough to cushion my wild little sleepers, so they are around an inch thick. We also use non-allergenic fill so that they are friendlier towards the little ones with allergies.
Now, we have no worries (other than the occasional bed wetting.) We no longer hear the banging that we used to because it is cushioned. They no longer wake up at night from banging into the wall. They no longer get chilly either. It has been a fantastic creation that I am so proud to share with other parents.
Our job is to make our kids more comfortable, secure and happy. With this new product you can add another layer of protection and comfort to what you’ve already worked at with all of your heart.
