Durable crib shield system

1. A crib shield system suitable for use with a crib, the crib shield system comprising:

a breathable mesh body portion comprising not more than one layer, the one layer being a mesh-type material layer having a suffocation resistance level of less than about 15 cm H 2 O, the mesh-type material layer comprising:

a front substructure, a middle substructure comprising fibers, and a back substructure, wherein each of the front substructure, the middle substructure, and the back substructure comprise a mesh material, and wherein the front substructure, the middle substructure, and the back substructure are integrated by weaving the fibers of the middle substructure through the front substructure and the back substructure;

wherein the front substructure, middle substructure, and back substructure of the first mesh-type material layer are quilted together along at least two integration seams crossing the mesh body portion;

wherein the at least two integration seams cross each other to create a pattern in the mesh body portion;

wherein the quilting anchors the middle substructure to the front substructure and back substructure along the at least two integration seams; and

wherein a majority of at least one of the front substructure and the back substructure is open to air when the crib shield system is positioned in the crib.

2. The crib shield system of claim I, wherein the at least two integration seams are generally linear and create a lattice pattern on the breathable mesh body portion.

3. The crib shield system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two integration seams are one of stitching or embossing.

4. The crib shield system of claim 1 , wherein the front substructure and back substructure have different fabric weaves.

5. The crib shield system of claim I, wherein the middle substructure is a pile substructure.

6. The crib shield system of claim 5 , wherein the pile substructure is lofted, matted, and/or bunched fibers.

7. The crib shield system of claim 5 , wherein the pile substructure is linear and extends between the front substructure and the back sub structure.

8. The crib shield system of claim I, wherein the mesh body portion is at least partially transparent.

9. The crib shield system of claim 1 , wherein the breathable mesh body portion is collapsible.

10. The crib shield system of claim 1 , wherein the mesh-type material layer comprises a woven polymeric fiber mesh material having integrated front and back substructures.

11. A crib shield system suitable for use with a crib, the crib shield system comprising:

a breathable mesh body portion, the breathable mesh body portion comprising only mesh materials and comprising:

a first mesh-type material layer, the first mesh-type material layer comprising a single layer formed by a front substructure, a pile substructure, and a back substructure, wherein each of the front substructure, the pile substructure, and the back substructure comprise a mesh material, and wherein the pile substructure is integrated with the front substructure and the back substructure by weaving the pile of the pile substructure through the front substructure and the back substructure; and

a second mesh-type material layer;

wherein the first mesh-type material layer and the second mesh-type material layer are coupled together; and

wherein a majority of at least one of the front substructure and the back substructure is open to air when the crib shield system is positioned in the crib.

12. The crib shield system of claim 11 , wherein the pile substructure is lofted, matted, and/or bunched fibers.

13. The crib shield system of claim 11 , wherein the breathable mesh body portion is at least partially transparent.

14. The crib shield system of claim 11 , wherein the second mesh-type material layer is coupled to the first mesh-type material layer along the at least two integration seams.

15. The crib shield system of claim 14 , wherein the second mesh-type material layer comprises a single layer.

16. The crib shield system of claim 15 , wherein the second mesh-type layer comprises a front substructure, wherein the front substructure of the second mesh-type layer is has a different fabric weave than the front substructure of the first mesh-type material layer.

17. The crib shield system of claim 11 , wherein the first mesh-type material layer and the second mesh-type material layer are configured to be substantially the same height and length; wherein the first mesh-type material layer and the second mesh-type material layer are configured to be secured together to form a single panel; and wherein both the first mesh-type material layer and second mesh-type material layer comprise openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe there through.

18. The crib shield system of claim 11 , wherein the breathable mesh body portion further comprises a third mesh-type material layer.

19. The crib shield system of claim 11 , wherein the back substructure comprises a woven portion with a first size of openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe there through, wherein the second mesh-type material layer comprises a woven portion with a second size of openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe there through; and wherein the back substructure is integrated with the woven portion of the second mesh-type material layer.
