The new and improved BUMBO

Are you getting the new bumbo? The aqua is the cheapest so I am thinking about getting it for later. I really like how they added the seat belt. I know you aren't supposed to put it up on tables but a lot of my friends have and although nothing happened but I think it really needed that safety precaution.

We got the kit in the mail to modify our Bumbo to include a seatbelt. Even with the belt that isn't going to protect your child if they were to fall from the table. That being said we have also used ours on elevated surfaces...aka making cookies together, etc.

I have an old one and haven't gotten the new straps yet. I don't plan to use it. I am probably going to get the straps and try to sell it. By the time my daughters were able to sit up enough on their own I was able to use a high chair or something instead. It just isn't safe even with the straps. =/

A seatbelt doesn't make it safer to put it on a table. ?? Some one on my BMB's older child was injured that way.

/shrug.

Just don't leave your kid unattended while they're on a higher surface.

That's how I see it at least.

umm duh...... 

 I'm really failing to understand the parenting decisions that led to a baby being left unattended on the counter in a  Bumbo.

From what I have read - it isn't just a case of someone going into another room for 15 minutes while the baby is in a bumbo on the kitchen counter.

It is the parent turns their back to get something out of the cupboard and out goes the baby. It can happen really fast so supervising doesn't ensure it doesn't happen. Who doesn't bend down or turn their back for a second? The seatbelt is a good addition. It isn't the whole bumbo falling off the counter. It is the child getting out of the bumbo and falling off.

We have the new Bumbo and DD loves it. I definitely will not be putting it on any elevated surfaces because the seatbelt doesn't prevent the Bumbo from tipping over, it just keeps LO securely in the seat.
