Did you register for an infant sleep positioner?

I've heard mixed reviews about whether you need one or even should have one. I was wondering what you all were planning on doing...

We had one and it was a waste. She kept scooting out of it and it would flip around. I felt safer without the thing!

yes - it's only 9.99 - I figured why not -

We did not register for one because my friend went into her child's room one night and somehow he had managed to get under the sleep positioner and it was on top of his face. He was ok but she was very shaken up, and upset about it. Who could blame her. So IMO not worth the risk. But I'm sure some people have had very good experiences with them.

NO! They pose a suffocation/SIDS risk. If your DC has reflux, you can elevate the crib.

NO, and when we went to our prenatal class, the nurse said absolutely do not put your baby in one of these. They somehow increase the risk of SIDS.

I did not knowing if I actually need it or not. But I don't see how an infant could suffocate, it's completely breathable with holes through the foam part.

no--they really aren't recommended

I took it off our registry after they told us in our baby safety class that babies need to sleep flat on their backs. If our baby has reflux and needs to be propped up to sleep - we'll get one.

We registered for one but didn't get it at either of our showers. As of now, I am not planning on getting one.

I was wondering about this. I did not register for one but my sister gave me one she already had. ?Since it was not something I ever considered using I wasn't sure if it was something I needed. ?I think I will just store it away in the closet and keep it out of the crib.
