S/O Bumpers... Clicky Poll!

I'm thinking of putting M's real bumpers back on his crib (he currently has the breathable bumpers on).
What are you currently doing?
Thoughts on real bumpers at this point in baby's life?

I don't see real bumpers being a problem at this point. My DS would be fine with them. I didn't use any bumper at all for DS1 and I'm not for DS2 either. I was worried about them in the beginning and just choose not to now... he's fine without them. Do what makes you most comfortable.
I switched out the regular bumpers for breathable ones because I swear it was hotter in the crib than in the rest of the room. I had a fan blowing to move the air, but the regular bumpers blocked the air flow at mattress level. So, for the warm months anyway, we switched to the breathable ones.
Last night I made some bumper-type things for A's crib. His trouble is that he gets his legs stuck through the bars so I took two layers of the fabric from his nursery and quilted it with some very very thin batting so that it will hopefully prevent his arms and legs from popping through the crib slats and will collapse if he tried to climb on it.
I started it after he went to bed last night and have to finish a couple of things so ideally we'll have it on his bed tonight to try out!

We use regular ones and always have. They block the light from his nightlight from getting in his eyes and keep him from smacking his face on the bars when he rolls around like a crazy person.
Once he gets off his lazy bum and starts trying to climb out, then we'll probably remove them.

We use regular bumpers (obviously from the pic in my thread).
I'm torn about what to do. I could totally see him using them to launch himself out of the crib. And he's already about 30-31 inches tall, so even with the matress on the lowest setting it's gonna be easy for him to try and get out :::sigh:::
But he moves around in the crib so much I don't want his limbs getting stuck or his head being smashed up against the rails.
He hasn't tried standing in the crib at our house yet - but my mom just called me and he stood in the crib at her house when she checked on him after putting him down for his morning nap. She has beathable bumpers on the crib at her house.
