when to remove breathable bumpers?

leneae10

LO is trying to stand in the crib.  He sits and pulls back on the bumpers and lets them snap back into place.  At this point, I think they are more hassle than anything.  He's been flipping around in his bed since 4 months and now he's crawling, falling and attempting to stand.  Should I just take them out? I'm worried he's going to stretch them out and get stuck behind them somehow.

I would take them out because if he pulls up he may try to climb it.

We have breathable bumpers, and my DS has been standing in his crib for quite a while. I don't see any way that he could use them to climb out like the pp suggested. If my DS attempted to stand on ours, it would just push down.

I don't think they can really stretch out either. My daughter steps on ours all the time when she climbs into DS's crib, DS stands on them, and I have washed them a million times. They still look great. 

I plan on leaving ours in until DS moves to a bed, because they help prevent his arms/legs getting stuck in the slats, which happened to my DD on a few occasions.

Same here and my DD like to roll into the sides of the crib, and without them she's hurt her head and be woken up constantly.
