User Submitted Safety 1st Table Edge Bumper - Medium Reviews

The best!
I only give this product 4 stars because of the length issue, as mentioned also in other reviews. My table has a perimeter of 175" and the medium was too large. But I cut it and stitched back together and it works very well. My table is 2" thick and it fits great (see image). Good quality product and easy to remove and wash if needed. Great idea, since the adhesive foams available in the stores do not stay put. My eight months old was able to peel them off without effort....
He is now 15 months old, we had the bumper for 7 months and it still looks like new. I totally recommend it.

Problems with Pulling off
We bought this product, but we had problems with my son pulling it off, becuase it was too big for our table. So we actually found another product called ABC Fun Pads, We love it. Our son couldn't pull it off, and it actually covers the whole table and is padded throughout , so when he drives his cars on it or bangs them on the table, my table doesn't get scratched or dented......check them out.

Size looked much smaller online
We bought this bumper because the user-submitted photo made it look like it would fit our coffee table, but it is MUCH bigger than our average coffee table. There was no SMALL size for this item, either, which led us to believe it would fit a standard size table. We decided to make-do, and I cut out about 1/3rd of the length and stapled it (with wrapping tape for cover) so it would fit finally. Then we had a working bumper!

nice, but has it's problems
I bought both the small and med bumper to see which would fit my 150" coffee table with very sharp edges. The small would not fit at all. And the med was too big, the long sides hung down. I ended up taking apart the med sz bumper and removing apx 20". It was difficult and not a job for a beginner sewer and it was difficult to get through the sewing machine. I also used a needle for sewing leather. The fit is now as tight as it can be. But even so, the bumper on the long sides of the table can still be pulled down by the baby. She grabs it to pull herself up and then wobbles by the table holding the bumper just waiting to wack the table with her face. Well at least the corners are protected.

My last complaint is that it is very ugly. So I sewed a fabric sleeve to cover it. I couldn't separate the bumper (even when I took it apart to make it smaller because I couldn't sew through the bunge cord on the inside to secure it) so I had to sew the sleeve around the bumper. Difficult and a pain in the butt, but not impossible. It looks one hundred times better now. I sewed a brown fabric on it so it blends in well with my mission style coffee table. It's way better than ugly grey vinyl!!

Would I do this all over again. Probably yes because for the most part, unless baby is in the very middle of the long edge of the table it does protect her, BUT I'd definately complain about having to go through it all again.

Doesn't always work
We had this on our coffee table. However, when my son tripped over a soccer ball it still didn't prevent a cut requiring 3 stitches right between his eyes. We ended up moving the stupid table down to the basement.

Question
Where do I find a product similar to this to fit my fireplace edge? It is brick and the perfect height for injury for when the baby begins to crawl and walk. Any suggestions?

Question before purchase?????
I have a rectangular 4 seater glass table in my kitchen that i see as an accident waiting to happen. I have spent a ridiculous amount on products that do not work... Will this work on a glass table?????

used it for 5 yrs and is great!!
Five years ago when my daughter started cruising/walking (she's almost six now) I looked everywhere for a table edge bumper. I found the ones that stick to the table's edge but thought it won't work. Finally I found this one on just one website (wasn't that widely available back then I guess)! I took the chance of ordering it and now five years later I am extremely glad I did. First, we gave away our wrought iron/glass top coffee table(thought it wasn't infant-friendly) and got a square table with round corners and a little round sides. But still my daughter kept on bumping her head. This is when I got this table edge. Our table's circumference is 132". So I ordered the small size for a snug fit (I thought if it doesn't fit I'll use it for the side table). Luckily it fit perfectly snug. There's no way my daughter can pull it and get her head or other parts trapped. Our side table's circumference is 96" and I tried to fit it on but was a little loose (the child can easily pull it).
It does work for every shape table (round, rectangular, square, oval,...). After five years of continuous use with our tom boy rambauctious daughter it started ripping at the center sewing line. Now I am buying a new one for our son who's just starting to cruise/walk. Couldn't be happier with that purchase.
I think if your table's circumference is closer to the lower range of the suggested fitting size then the bumper will be loose fitting. Try sewing the extras like one reviewer did. every single one of our friends with toddlers got a similar one. I am very happy to find it more available than 5 years ago. Worth every penny. It saved our daughter countless bumps over the years.

I have a question before I buy this...
This sounds great but, I have a question before I buy it...
Will this work on a round, solid wood coffee table?
It is 124" around and about 2 inches thick.
