Abstract
A safety bumper pad includes a bumper pad, a mattress retaining sheet, and a plurality of positive locking straps. A bumper cover is sewn around a bumper cushion to form the bumper pad. The mattress retaining sheet is sewn on the bottom of the bumper pad such that a mattress may be inserted therein. The mattress retaining sheet is deep enough to allow the entire bumper pad to protrude above the mattress. A plurality of positive locking straps are attached to substantially the top of the bumper pad. The positive locking straps include a strap portion, a female locking member, and a male locking portion. The female locking member is attached to one end of the strap portion. The male locking member contains a loop section through which the other end of the strap portion is inserted. The male and female locking members are pulled around at least one crib rail and then the male locking member is inserted into the female locking member. A loose end the strap portion is pulled tight to hold the bumper pad against the crib rail.
