Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this Hiccapop bumper and the Izo Chid Bed Safety Rail Bumper (also on Amazon). My 3 year old grandson just moved into a queen bed in the middle of the room. He's an active "helicopter" sleeper and managed to fall out of bed straight away. I put the Hiccapop bumper on one side and the Izo on the other side of the bed. The Izo is significantly bigger than the Hiccapop. The Izo is 6" h x 9"W x 56" long while the Hiccapop is 4.5"H x 7"W and 52" long. My grandson bumped up against both bumpers as he slept. At one time, his legs went over the Hiccapop and another time his shoulder rested up against the Izo. He didn't go over either although It might be able to go over the Hiccapop. I probably should have tested both bumpers longer than two nights but I hope that the Hiccapop will be enough of a signal to him to stop moving in that direction. I put both bumpers under the waterproof mattress cover and on top of the pillowtop. Neither bumper moved despite my grandson using them for leverage to pull himself up into bed and to dangle out of bed. My husband and I crushed the Hiccapop bumper (we didn't try to sit on the Izo side) to get into the bed to read bedtime stories. The smaller Hiccapop looks nicer with the smaller bumps under the blanket and it's easier for us to get in and out of bed with our grandson. I have a 13-1/2" mattress with a pillow top and a waterproof mattress cover making the base about 14". With the Hiccapop, I can use my 18" deep sheets (but I really need 20" sheets). With the Izo, I need 22" deep sheets minimum. Consequently, I decided to return the Izo and order another Hiccapop. He has fallen off the bottom of the bed so I may order a third Hiccapop. Get the Hiccapop if you want a lower profile look and don't want to buy deeper sheets. Buy the Izo if you have a really active sleeper who might go over a 4.5" barrier or if the bed is up against the wall and you don't want him flailing into the wall or if the extra length of the Izo is necessary so the baby doesn't fall off a "gap" into furniture such as a night table or rocking chair. The Izo really makes an effective barrier.
