Bumbo seats SUCK

Well i have officailly throwned ther bumbo seat in the garbage it all started wednsday i always have put the bumbo seat on the counter to feed brittany in it or all put her in it while im doin the dishes so i can be with her well wednsday i put her in it to do the dishes she was right next to me well she pushed her self back and fell right off the counter BACKWARDS i watched in slow motion i tryed reaching for her but it was to late she fell strait on her back still in the bumbo seat and she grazed her head on the kitchen chair on the way down she knocked the wind right out of her i thought for sure i was going to have to go to the er i felt like i could have prevented it bye putting her on the floor but like i said i was right there but it happend so fast well than i did some research about the bumbo seat i guess the same thing has happend to parents and ended up there kids had skull fractures and worse i feel very lucky that didnt happen and i will never recommend that anyone use this product cause even on the floor they could still tip themselfs over so now i will be purchasing a high chair (definently safer).

Wow that is scary, Yea the seats are safer on the floor at least if they fall over on the floor it is only about a foot instead of 4 feet. I loved mine for Alexis and she loved having her own chair. I never put Alexis on the counter because a day care kid's mom put him on the counter in his car seat when he was 3 months old and he started to kick and it rocked off the counter and he got a huge bump so I was always to afraid to put her up there.

That is scary. Thank goodness she's okay! Yea I don't ever leave Ashlee on the counter in anything because of the fear of her falling off because it does only take a second! :|
