How to Arrange Your Bumpsters
There are many different ways to arrange Bumpsters in a cot. It depends mainly upon each individual child, how much they move and where they sleep. Below are some examples;
For babies who can only roll over
Bumpsters can be placed on 2 or 3 bars either side of where baby sleeps, so whichever way he/she rolls, their head will be protected.
For babies who fidget up the cot!
I would suggest that Bumpsters are placed on both sides from baby's head upwards (if babies are placed as suggested at the bottom of the cot)
For older babies who fidget everywhere!
For obvious reasons, I suggest that Bumpsters are put on all cot bars. If the baby is also able to stand or kneel in the cot, 2 bumpsters can be put on one bar so that baby's head is protected when they are climbing the cot, not just sleeping in it!!!!!
Bumpsters can also be stacked on top of each other to gain extra height and protection for when baby is playing in their cot or starting to stand. These can be moved at night if you are concerned about baby climbing when unsupervised.

Please be aware that although Bumpsters can be a valuable aid, they are in no way a replacement for diligent parenting. Always watch your children carefully.
In the unlikely event that your baby can climb using Bumpsters, please remove immediately.
Regular checks to ensure that your Bumpsters are being used correctly by your baby in the cot is advised.
Please be aware that all babies are different and if at any stage you feel your baby is unsafe with Bumpsters in their cot, remove them immediately.
Keep Bumpsters away from Fire and ensure they are fastened securely outside the cot away from baby's reach.
