    It isn’t supposed to be something you put your kid in and walk away…

    It never ceases to amaze me that people think that there is a substitute for personal responsibility for the wellbeing of your own child – When you buy a product for your kid – there is certain responsibility on your part to look at it, examine it, put your kid in it and see if it could cause a problem and you buy it!

    I went to the website and looked at this thing and there is no way that a person of “average intelligence” wouldn’t know that the kid could fall out of it if they were left unattended. Does the word “DUH” mean anything?

    Glad I grew up in an age when there weren’t even seat belts in cars – I might have hurt myself

    Even if you are right beside the seat, it only takes a moment for a child to move in the “wrong direction” and fall out. At least they can’t fall off the floor.

    I have kids and your an idiot, NO. AZAZ is right on the money! What idiot, you I suppose, would out a baby in a car seat, then place it on an elevated surface and then walk away?? Go back to being a power feminzi and hoe to god your nanny isn’t molesting your kids, No.

    Reagan, please re-read No’s post again.
    I think you have it wrong.

    Azaz, I couldn’t have said it better myself…my biggest pet peeve is that people don’t want to take responsibility for their own actions. Why don’t the other manufacturers of baby seats recall their chairs, too? I’m sure that Bumbo isn’t the only child seat that had “toppled over”!

    My son has one for his child, and amazingly the instructions do tell you to not put on an elevated surface nor leave the child unattended.

    He does put it up on the table when they feed the baby, on the floor the other times. Oh, and they do not leave the room or the house or whatever these other goof-balls are doing. My son just laughed when I told him about the rediculous recall.

    If the stupid parents took the time to use the safety straps to secure little “Dumbo” into the “Bumbo”, the little @astards wouldn’t fall out of the seat and roll onto the floor.

    I guess you were never a kid, huh, Chin?
    I think you’re not too keen on children, too…..it’s too bad since you sure know how to act like one.

    PS….has it ever occured to you that the child, even strapped into the seat, can tumble off the table and onto the floor with the seat on top of him? But noticing how you feel about children, why would you care? Veritas?

    Way to go doofus (name calling in return). If you would have taken the time to get your head out of it’s usual place, you would have seen that I did not say anything about leaving a child on an elevated surface and walking away. Just pointed out that children can move quicker than you can. PS: learn how to type.

    I wonder if “Baby Bumbo” (look on Yahoo videos) will be switching to a different model; though this one seems to serve well enough with dog and clone fighting.

    SFOinsurancelady: Actually, I love children and my wife and I have four, none of which fell out of any child seat for two reasons. First, my wife and I made them our parenting priority and didn’t leave them un-atteneded. Second, we used the safety features (straps) that cam with the items. Sometimes parents, especially young and stupid ones, don’t anticipate what kinds of things could create a dangerous condition. You don’t have to be a genius to anticipate normal infant “thrashing” in a lightweight seat, and realize that it may not be safe to just place it where it’s convenient for you.

    And one other thing. Why don’t you stop your usual bleeding heart comments and deal with the issue at hand instead of insulting others. Do you have any intelligent insurance related comments regarding this issue?

    Chin,

    To use your own words:

    “If the stupid parents took the time to use the safety straps to secure little “Dumbo” into the “Bumbo”, the little @astards wouldn’t fall out of the seat and roll onto the floor.”

    What – Did I hit a nerve? Sure glad you’re not one of my parents!

    Want to talk insurance? Don’t get me started…My biggest pet peeve has to be people taking responsibility for their own actions. The article does not mention it, but I am wondering, how may lawsuits are filed even though the cause was due to the parents’ own negligence. Not to mention the attorneys that are hired knowing how deep the insurance companies’ pockets really are.

    Bleeding heart? No…..
    Make those accountable? Yes……..

    I’m sure glad you’re not one of my kids!! No, you didn’t hit any nerve. I just have zero tolerance for ignorant, judgmental people whose only input is their personal feelings on a subject instead of focusing on the insurance perspective of these topics. I take it you don’t since once again, you’ve made it personal.

    Chin-You must mean the more substantive comments like yours? I quote again:

    “If the stupid parents took the time to use the safety straps to secure little “Dumbo” into the “Bumbo”, the little @astards wouldn’t fall out of the seat and roll onto the floor.”

    (LOL – sorry…..you set yourself up for that one!!!)

    What happened to IJ Posts? There was a time when people could post and have discussions without insulting each other by calling names and using derrogatorry terms.

    Lets start having adult conversations again with well thought out comments, please.
