Lots of people use them, but the aap still advises against them.
Yep, this! We aren't using a bumper at all and neither did my sister with her 3 and no limbs were stuck, no pacis lost...all was well.

this is the kind i used (and loved) and always recommend to others. my daughter was always a very active sleeper (which meant limbs everywhere). I especially loved this kind because I could see her (through the bumper) without having to enter her room (waking or stirring her up).
I know some bumpers are supposed to be safe, but I"m going to avoid them altogether. They really serve no purpose, so what's the point of any sort of added risk?

We aren't using a bumper, even though it came with our bedding set. We are going to register for this instead:
