Crib bumpers, especially padded ones, can pose a suffocation risk if a baby rolls against them and is unable to move away, as they can obstruct airflow.
Strangulation Risk:
There's a potential risk of strangulation if a baby gets tangled in the bumper or its ties.
Climbing Hazard:
For older babies and toddlers, crib bumpers can be used as a step to climb out of the crib, potentially leading to falls and injuries.
