But my other friend wants to get it for her anyway. I don't think my pregnant friend knows about the crib bumper safety recommendation. I'm wondering if I should mention it to her. Anyhow, decided to get her a quilt that she registered for instead. Hopefully she won't be using it in the crib during the infant stages! lemondrop on "Would you purchase a crib bumper for a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-purchase-a-crib-bumper-for-a-friend#post-425312 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:32:01 +0000 lemondrop 425312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, same reasons you are reluctant to. birdofafeather on "Would you purchase a crib bumper for a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-purchase-a-crib-bumper-for-a-friend#post-425046 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:23:59 +0000 birdofafeather 425046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i don't think i would.

That being said, we use bumpers in our crib. LO is a madwoman when she sleeps. After several nights of waking up over bumped heads and stuck limbs I put the bumpers on and don't regret it. heffalump on "Would you purchase a crib bumper for a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-purchase-a-crib-bumper-for-a-friend#post-424519 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 08:20:34 +0000 heffalump 424519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My sister has this issue buying things for LO..... she refuses to buy her toys that are past her age. I said LO would love some alphabet magnets for Chanukah but they're for age 3 and LO is 16 months. I'm always in the room and watching her so I don't worry about it.... but my sister doesn't want LO to choke on HER gift.... and I get that. But I'll still buy it for her. That all being said, I wouldn't buy the bumper either because I'm not comfortable with LO using them. mediagirl on "Would you purchase a crib bumper for a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-purchase-a-crib-bumper-for-a-friend#post-424507 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 08:03:45 +0000 mediagirl 424507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. I don't use them so I wouldn't buy them for a friend. I would find something else on her registry to get her, though!

But like others have mentioned, I do like to buy my favourite or most used items while still sticking to the registry. rachiecakes on "Would you purchase a crib bumper for a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-purchase-a-crib-bumper-for-a-friend#post-424481 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 07:17:11 +0000 rachiecakes 424481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would if it came with a set she was registered for (maybe she doesn't intend to use it? Or was going to repurpose it?) but if it was listed separately, I would not. loveisstrange on "Would you purchase a crib bumper for a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-purchase-a-crib-bumper-for-a-friend#post-424456 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 06:20:02 +0000 loveisstrange 424456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A lot of people use them still. The risks are highly overstated. If she registered for it, she wants it. I wouldn't, for the simple fact that I like to give a "basket" of gifts and include my favorite things rather than get one large item.

It's not my place to lecture another mom on what to use/not use. I had pictures of our nursery taken before the baby was here (with bumpers) but removed them after LO started sleeping in her crib. Your friend might use them in a similar way, or after the baby is a bit older.

As a mom I now tend to get them the gifts off their registry that were my favorite items (A&A blankets are my go-to!)

I personally don't think I'd purchase one since they're not recommended for safety reasons. banana on "Would you purchase a crib bumper for a friend?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-purchase-a-crib-bumper-for-a-friend#post-422775 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:43:47 +0000 banana 422775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My friend is having a baby shower next month and I just checked out her registry at PBK. She registered for a bumper so one of my other friends asked me to pitch in with her to buy her the bumper. I normally would...but I know that bumpers aren't recommended for infants. And I know I couldn't live with myself if something bad were to happen because of the bumper gift! Would you buy your friend a crib bumper if she registered for it?
