Cot protector - is it worth buying them?

There has been a lot of controversy around cot protectors. Most Moms agree that it is at some stage an indispensable piece of equipment for a baby's room. However, there are voices that the cot protector is an unnecessary accessory. And how is it in reality? Is the cot protector actually useful? What actually is such a protector and how to use it? You will read about it, dear Mom, in my post today.

What is a cot protector?

A cot protector is a soft strip of material with appropriate filling, whose task is to protect the Toddler during daily sleep. First of all, it is supposed to prevent the baby's body from hitting the rungs. In many cases, it also has a decorative function for the cot.

Interestingly, cot protectors can take a variety of forms - from flat and tall modular models to a thick braided plaid. Modular cot protectors are advantageous in terms of ergonomics - they take up much less space compared to plaid-type cot protectors. The choice of a particular model, as well as the color of such a protector is, of course, an individual matter.

Do you need a cot protector?

In light of the above, are you wondering whether a crib guard is necessary for you? Indeed, it can be useful, but only in a situation where the child can already sit, roll, and move independently. In such cases, a guard can serve as an excellent cushion against falls. However, its use should be strictly supervised by parents. A better alternative is a fully secure bed rail. MoMi offers MoMi LEXI guardrails, which have successfully undergone a multi-stage verification and obtained certification from the SGS research laboratory, meeting the requirements of the European Union standards.
