Outdoors: Non-approved uses of the Bumbo seat

Brought to you by people who have nothing to do with the making of the Bumbo seat.

How not to use the Bumbo seat
On train tracks
Probably not a good idea. Don't believe me? Go watch Stand By Me. Keep in mind those kids could run.

Top of the hill at edge of forest
It ain't the zoo but there are critters out there that just might eat baby. You might laugh at the phrase "A dingo ate my baby," but that ain't funny if you are the baby.

Sitting on dock of sewage-filled river
The dock of a bay might be O.K. but don't place your baby on the dock of a river that has high quantities of human poo in it. That's just gross.

Note: Professional baby on closed course. Do not attempt this at home. Use only as directed.

UPDATE: Further review of the photographs taken today showed an alarming addition to the frame (see picture below).

The bear must have stepped out from behind the tree nanoseconds after the first photo was taken*. Many thanks to Mr. Wagner for bringing this to our attention.


*No babies or bears were hurt during the making of this post. Also, no trains were running on that section of the track due to construction.

You. Did. Not. seriously put your son on railroad tracks in a pink bumbo seat! I love it. I'm hanging out with you two more often! :)

Amber,

I did. Seriously. And I must say it felt weird to do so. Like 'this is clearly wrong and going to land me in jail' kind of weird. I snapped two photos and then baby, dog, Bumbo seat and I were out of there.

That was hilarious, Christie. You are so creative. You are inspiring me to do better with my blogs.

Little Henry is looking not so little anymore.
I can't believe you carried that Bumbo around to grab pictures!
Great post.

You should send this to the Bumbo people and demand pictures of their reaction. Priceless....
