My daughter has caught her leg in the bars maybe 3 times in her 14 months of life. Not worth the chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1016584 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:40:33 +0000 sumer08 1016584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As everyone else said, unsafe. We don't own one and have no plans to use one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1015687 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:54:09 +0000 Katrocap 1015687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with everyone else. Since I live in Maryland (the only state to ban crib bumpers, I believe) this has never been an option. My 7 month old sometimes has his arm or leg sticking out between the crib slats, but always manages to pull his body back in and it's never been a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1008020 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 12:11:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 1008020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup unsafe but I know a lot of people who used the breathable ones when baby is a little older. Still poses a strangulation risk I think, per @mrsjacks. </p> <p>I would not buy the plush ones at all and reevaluate your needs once baby is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1008018 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 12:10:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1008018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unsafe and not recommended by the AAP. Far better to have a non-life threatening leg injury than a suffocation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1007992 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 11:52:51 +0000 autumnlove 1007992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unsafe but the plush bumpers are so cute! We never had one but we used a breathable bumper for a few months...I think those are considered unsafe too! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1007983 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 11:47:54 +0000 Mrsjets 1007983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unsafe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1007980 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 11:45:16 +0000 anbanan15 1007980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unsafe. </p> <p>Maryland has recently (June 2013) placed a ban on the selling of crib bumpers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bumpers-1#post-1007965 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 11:32:36 +0000 ElbieKay 1007965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the deal with these? Safe? Not safe? It seems like they are unsafe for newborns but good for babies that are able to turn themselves over. Is that correct? Am I supposed to get some? </p>
