Problems solved by technology

The slats of a crib often injure an infant when the infant attempts to climb out of the crib or if the infant is playing in the crib.
One problem with the apparatus is the ability of the infant to push the soft pads downward and use the bunched material of the soft pad as a step to climb out of the crib.
Another problem with this apparatus is the ability of the infant to push the soft pads downward and get his / her body parts stuck between the bunched material and the bars of the crib often resulting in injury and sometimes death.
The problem with this apparatus is that material only covers the bottom portion of the bars of the crib so injury can occur when an infant bumps their body against the upper portion of the crib bars.
Therefore, there is a need for a protection device for cribs that provides padding on the crib slats while simultaneously not allowing the material of the protection device to move along the crib slats.
