Come on folks! Why would you leave your child unattended in a seat anywhere but on the floor? And that should only be if the child is the only one there with no pets. I am a mom of 2 and I will only leave my baby, who is not mobile yet, alone if he is attached to a bouncy or swing and only if it is for a minute (sometimes you just want to go to the bathroom in peace.) The idea of leaving a baby alone in a seat that is not attached to either the child OR the surface to which it sits is something I can’t wrap my brain around. That’s like leaving a baby alone in a bouncy on the bar no matter how secure the baby is. Bouncy’s vibrate off counters and readjust. Then where is your baby? On the floor with a skull fracture. Oh wait, that is what they are saying about the bumbo! So why don’t you just use good common sense and leave the bumbo on the floor where you are told to put it by the directions anyway!

The directions state to “Never use on a raised surface”. I admit I have used it on the counter but I would have never dreamed of walking away. I just wanted you to know that the recall is not a real recall. The product is not defective and you do not have to send it back. They just want you to contact them for a sticker that tells you to be safe with the product by not leaving yoru child alone or putting it on high surfaces. This, to me, is just common sense.

I am off to buy a tray for my bumbo. HAHA
