My son loves his though. he won't let go of it, but he's def got the hang of the one foot in front of the other thing.

It says it right on the box!! I feel that when something is being recalled, it's because of a manufacturers mistake, or it was improperly constructed. NOT because of the parent's lack of responsibility to watch your infant while sitting the seat! I bought the seat for my son, and he loves it! Oh and yeah BTW I stay with him while he's in it! And if I have something to do, I put him on the ground to play. I don’t know why it got recalled in the first place, it’s common sense people DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED!!

By 6 months, he was able to tip the Bumbo over on the side and roll out of it. I always kept it on the floor, too, which was a good thing. After tipping out of it a few times, I dumped it. Wish I'd known about the recall, but I had mine a good year before the recall. My son was sitting up at 5 months. By 6 months, he was able to tip the Bumbo over on the side and roll out of it.

There have been millions of the Bumbo seats sold outside of the USA long before it was sold here. There have been knock offs of the same product made and sold in the USA and still are today because the product was so well liked by juvenile manuafactures. It does have limitations to know when exactly your child may be to old for the use of the Bumbo seat that discrection is left up to each individual parent. Risk hazards can happen with any child if a product is being used in a manner that was unattended misused, misinformed, or if the strength of a child is at a level where they can push or perpel themselves out of it’s sitting position. It’s recommended for the infant that will sit and do just that. It’s designed to help them sit. Not designed to be a launch pad or a baby sitter. If a child is arching and leaning to such a degree that they will wriggle out, or fall out, then the child has matured and needs another seat for that stage. There is no question parents want the best products for their children. The Bumbo seat has helped millions of children even babies with special needs that require assistance in sitting up. Be wise, choose for yourself, use correctly, but I think you’ll see more inventions like Bumbo seats to come in the future.

She loves it too. My mother is the one who called me and told me that it had been recalled. My reaction was that the child was probly too old to be in it and that the child was probly unattended. I would never put her in the Bumbo and walk away. I think maybe they shouldn't put that it is a babysitter because some people believe everything the hear. I read all the instructions and warnings. If you leave any child unattended anything can happen. Some people just need to use common sense with anything they put there child in. I am NOT sending her bumbo seat back. Yes it was horrible that a child has fallen out of one. If you know your child can get out of it its time to stop using it!! I bought a bumbo for my 3 month old girl, and I love it. She loves it too.

A safety belt to hold the children in place and would be better if the base was wider , to make it more stable . We have a 7 month old boy that moves real fast . I always read the safety instuctions before using a new product . It clearly states , "do not leave child unattended . " I think if the company would make the base a little wider and put a child restraint belt on it , it would be a safe and comfortable seat for everyone's kids.

If you leave your kid in a walker near stairs unattended, reap what you sow. But I was given one of these Bumbos for a gift. My son isn't particularly thrilled with it but tolerates it from time to time. My niece absolutely LOVED it. Anecdote: my son was sitting ON THE FLOOR in it and arched his back and SPLAT out he came. Onto carpet and was not seriously injured but pissed him off pretty good. He's an underdeveloped (preemie) 5 month old so he's certainly not too old for the seat, can barely roll over on his own and is no where near sitting by himself but yet he got out in an unsafe manner. So it doesn't take much strength from a baby to get out, it's not just parents of 2 year olds with problems. And a 12 month old who was 3 months premature and grew/developed slowly MIGHT be able to still use the product. Just because your child was not able to (my daughter never could have), don't judge all. And when he fell out I was 5 feet away tending to my 21 month old and did not get there in time to fully catch him. Was I neglectful for taking ONE step away? I personally think not, but judge me if you will. So: YES if he had been on an elevated surface he would have been seriously injured NO he is not too old or strong for the toy by ANY means YES I would prefer my money back. There are other toys safer for him. NO I would never fault the company, if you put a baby on a table and walk away you're going to get what you ask for. I think they're being responsible in offering a refund for parents who no longer feel comfortable using their product. Final anecdote: I saw a pediatric resident at Children's hospital who chided me for using a walker saying they're soooooo dangerous and the AAP was going to outlaw them. In the same breath she said they endorse the Bumbo. HA, yeah right. Who looks stupid now?? You know, I am one of those parents that says “take a little personal responsibility”.

Well, the next week, the babysitter complained that my daughter would throw her entire body backwards in the Bumbo and almost fell out backwards. She was on the floor being supervised by the babysitter. My babysitter told me that she could no longer use the Bumbo because she was scared my daughter could fall out and hit her head. So I'm sorry - Bumbo needs to be taken off the shelves until they can come up with a safer, sturdier design especially for the more active babies. And YES - I want my money back.

I look at those videos and I can't believe how old those kids are that are falling out of it. This is a chair for babies who cannot support themselves. I know that my 4 month old daughters couldn't fall out of it no matter how hard they tried. If your child is old enough to crawl out of it by themselves they are too old. Yes my 4 year old can still sit in it. I've watched him. It's hilarious. Am I going to send it back because he falls out of it? No. Sounds like what some of you parents want is a chair with handcuffs and leg shackles. Then maybe you can get your 2 year olds to sit so they can't hurt their fragil little skulls. I love Bumbo. Me and my girls sit in a circle together and laugh and giggle about how big they are sitting in their Bumbo seats. I support Bumbo 100%!! Some parents just need to get a clue.

I think it was the best invention for my daughter. It was great at feeding time and when we were reading to her. This product allowed her to sit up and join the world before she could sit up on her own. After reading about the recent Bumbo Recall or new ‘news’ in the media, I’m astonished.

Ft. Campbell, KY 42262 Hello,

First let me mention I love the Bumbo seat. I think it was the best invention for my daughter. It was great at feeding time and when we were reading to her. This product allowed her to sit up and join the world before she could sit up on her own.

I agree with many of these posts. The warning on the seat is already sufficient. Who would leave a child UNRESTRAINED in a seat on an elevated surface?? A baby in the bumbo seat on the floor is as risky as a child sitting on their own and falling over or backwards. I can't imagine the extra couple inches of height would make that big of a difference. To be safe, why not use this product on a carpeted or soft floor in the first place? My daughter loves the bumbo. I even take it to restaurants and use it as a high chair. She is too little for a regular high chair (plus the restaurant ones are usually dirty) and she is too old to want to be strapped into her infant carrier. The bumbo is the perfect solution. I put my arm around the back, around her shoulders, and I have my other hand free for eating. It's actually quite comfortable for me and she gets to play and be part of the action at the table. YES, the table is elevated and note I consistently have my arm around her. Some would say inconvenient for me, but it's easier than holding her in my lap. Anyhow, I think this is a great product to be used the way it should be and always while supervising (like anything else). WOW. I agree with many of these posts.

If a parent has any common sense then the recall should never happen. It's too bad that there are these people out there that have nothing better to do than complain about their own stupid actions. If the child is old enough to climb out, maybe it's time to only use it on the carpeted area. Are these parents going to complain to every other company and blame everyone else out there because their child is walking against a table or chair and they fall and hurt their head on the floor...no....children are going to fall that is what a child is about. Maybe it's time that these parents brain up and stop leaving their children unattended when it's their own fault that the child fell off an elevated surface. Hmmm just like the baby walkers that are now banned in Canada....all because the retarded parents out there that don't know how to use a baby gate and blame the manufacture for their childing fall down the stairs. Now my child can't use one because of the stupid sensless parents that let their children fall down the stairs....maybe these people should have kids. Gee parents, shake your head and get the marbles out. We can't recall and ban everything out there, i think it's time the parents take time out of their busy life and look after their children properly and this stuff won't happen. We love and support the Bumbo 100%, it's the best thing ever made, I will recommend this chair to everyone I know. Stop blaming the chair, it's the parents fault, not the manufacture or the product.

Of course I get paranoid when I here that toys or other things for infants getting re-called. But, I honestly feel that it's sad that so many useful things that are coming out now are being re-called because of a simple lack of common sense & neglect. I purchased a Bumbo for my daughter & she loves it. But, i also had enough common sense to read the box which say DO NOT put on any elevated surface such as a counter or table, DO NOT use in a bath tub or car seat. If you bother to read things before you buy them for your child you would see the ups & downs. I do not put my daughter in the Bumbo & put her on a counter or elevated surface or WALK AWAY from her & leave her UNATTENDED! So I will continue to use my daughter's Bumbo in the correct way until I feel she is to big for it. I have a 6month old daughter.

Our Bumbo already has a warning that says “Never use on a raised surface, Never use as a car or bath seat. Designed for floor use only. Never leave your child unattended as the seat is not designed to be totally restrictive and may not prvent release or your baby in th event of vigorous movement.” Are parents not reading the warning? or, are they just ignoring it and blaming the company because they didn’t follow the warning?

We stopped using it when our baby could sit up by himself. He started arching his back when he was put in it, that was our sign that we shouldn't use it anymore. I will definatley use it again for our second child. We love our bumbo. We stopped using it when our baby could sit up by himself.
