Thanks to friends of ours (thanks Amber and Andrew!), we got our hands on a Bumbo seat for lil' Henry over the weekend. There was a recall not too long ago because people were using them incorrectly (i.e., placing them on elevated surfaces), which apparently led to some rather nasty head injuries. As much fun as it can be to joke about dropping babies on their heads, actually dropping a baby on his/her head must be rather terrifying.The first time Henry sat in the pink-colored molded foam he seemed rather pleased with himself. But he didn't seem on board when his mother (that'd be me) thought it would be humorous to take photographs that illustrate how the Bumbo seat should not be used. I'll have to wait until Henry's pops is home to get the shot of H in the B-seat on the top tier of the cat structure.
Correct Use: In the middle of town, on the floor.
Incorrect Use: On the elevated bathroom counter top. Note Henry's closed eyes. He's preparing for the inevitable fall.

What? No illustration of the other incorrect use: car seat?
Way to go Henry with the uprightness! Your world just got much bigger.
Oh no, there will be a complete series of "how not to use the Bumbo seat" photos. I decided to wait until Darr got home so he could assist. I didn't want to inadvertently hurt Monsieur Henry whilst trying to prove how stoopid other people were. :)
Amazingly the new warning sticker, while more specific, is dreadfully difficult to read. Additionally it comes with complicated instructions as to how to actually adhere the instructions onto the somewhat non-stick Bumbo plastic surface. Wouldn't common sense just be easier?
