You've seen Isaac seated in the Bumbo seat in many a picture. It's really quite a cool concept - this molded pvc rubber thingy that can hold most babies' butt and legs. And it's quite useful too, keeps the baby still - I even cut Isaac's toenails while he sits in it. And his hair too, I cut while he sits in it.
Recently, however, the Bumbo seat was recalled by its manufacturers - so that they could put a warning label on its box, and add more disclaimers to its instruction booklet - something like that. Basically, some silly parents on the other side of the world have been placing the Bumbo seat - with their babies in them - on the kitchen counter top, dining table, etc.
Silly, isn't it. So, babies have been falling outta their Bumbos and onto the kitchen floor - cracking and fracturing their skulls. (Read more about it here)
Basically, think the Bumbo is fine. But you should never leave the child unattended, even for a short while. And you should always use the Bumbo on the floor (so that if the child falls - less distance to fall).
Anywayz, here's an warning video that we think should be included in the new instructions package for the recall.
