Completion of such protective accessories is divided according to the protecting sides of the bed: it can be either 2 or 4 sides.
The models with a zipper are particularly popular: they are completely safe and quite practical.
The filler also plays an important role. More lush options are more suitable for matured babies, because they can be used for something else - for example, highchair.
Flat pads are ideal for very small tots, they will have more space for playing in the crib. If you fill the space on the sides with lush protective bumpers, the baby will be cramped in such a bed, and he will begin to be capricious.
Designer options for pads are also varied. They can be both developing and monophonic, without pictures.
The developmental options for the bumpers are bumpers with letters, numbers, or geometric figures sewn on or painted on them. This approach undoubtedly contributes to the proper and harmonious development of the baby.

Dimensions and height
Any accessory that is purchased for any item must fit it not only visually, but also in size. It is very important that the protective sides are appropriately sized to fit in a children's bed. Standard bed sizes: 120x60x55cm.
The flanges are found in two modifications in height: high and low. Low protective accessories are great for newborns, as they cover only half the space of the bed wall and allow you to observe everything that happens in the room.
After the child is 4-6 months old, such bumpers should be replaced with higher ones, since the toddler is already growing, can use them as steps, inadvertently step over small barriers and fall. High models in this regard are considered more practical options.
Material
The naturalness of the pouch cover is the main aspect of the right choice of protection for a newborn baby. In addition, the accessory should be soft and resistant to weekly washings.
Top protection can be made of the following hypoallergenic fabric materials: calico, chintz, flannelette or flannel.

Particular attention should be paid to the filler of children's protective bumpers.
In most cases, there are three types of it:
- Foam rubber.
- Sintepon.
- Holofiber
Foam bumpers are better not to acquire - they can release harmful substances. The remaining two options are fine. They are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and are breathable materials. This is a very important factor for the health of the baby.
However, these two materials also have differences that are revealed during operation: the synthetic winterizer shrinks and gets loose during use and during washing.
To avoid this, it is necessary, when using, to fix the bumper with a padding polyester in several places on the bed.
The holofiber does not have this problem. He keeps his form perfectly: he does not get off and does not shrink.

An excellent option could be the following color palette of protective sides: turquoise, white, mint color, pale yellow, peach or beige color.
