I was looking for a bumbo for weeks, I did not know about the recall, but was bumbed when I heard about it. It's common sense, and now because of the ignorance of some people I can"t get one!!!!!

We just want to quickly get a plug in for www.bumbosafety.com for anyone who hasn't already visited. There are some eye opening things there, such as a survey of Bumbo owners that is ongoing. It has found that 14 percent of moms and dads never noticed the warning stamp that's on every Bumbo and 12 percent didn't know their baby could get out of it with vigorous movement (no doubt because they hadn't seen the warning or read the instructions). So we're making more explicit warning stickers and instructions available and we're going to add a permanent warning stamp visible from the front of the Bumbo on future production runs. Just want everyone to know that we're concerned about the babies and are working on a solution. It's really all about education. Thanks so much! Thanks for the kind words, everybody.

Don't buy the tray. I had a Bumbo, bought the tray, it didn't really fit well, plus my baby didn't like the Bumbo. And, I agree. Common sense people. Wait! Don’t buy the tray.

I LOVE my Bumbo, and yes, I admit to using it on raised surfaces, but with CLOSE supervision. Common sense is just NOT a readily available commodity, obviously- it's in short supply, but I'm thankful to join all of you who share that personality trait with me! Even the fast babies, or maybe I should say ESPECIALLY the fast babies, should be watched and held. My 5 month old arches his back when he wants up, and I can see how he could push himself out of the seat. THAT is reason enough for me to be right with him while he's in the seat. We take it to restaurants instead of the stinking carseat/carrier, where he's stuck. He feels like part of the action in the Bumbo, and we watch him and don't walk away. I feel for the children, who really do have serious injuries, but mostly I wonder what ELSE will happen to them, and how they will be raised when Mom and Dad can't accept their own fault in the deal, and try to pin it on the manufacturer. Do new product makers REALLY have to consider EVERY stupid possibility and not make items that can't be fool proof? The fools just get dumber! And these kids are highly likely to grow up feeling much more entitled than responsible! I am SO glad to NOT be alone in this line of thought.

The people who leave their kids alone in a bumbo on the kitchen counter missed the line to get it. I am not trying to be mean. I would never want to belittle someone who has an injured child. I just don't understand certain decisions. No, Stina, you didn’t miss the recall. The people who leave their kids alone in a bumbo on the kitchen counter missed the line to get it.

I stopped using mine because my son figured out how to get out of it and started sitting on his own.
