So they put it on the table, with a 9 month old in it... and he got out and rolled off the table and fractured his skull. Who does that? Who puts a
kid in anything that isn't 100% totally secure in a high-ish place? WTF people?
Come on!

lol they are meant for the little kids who can't sit upright yet, it's fine for younger ones. When my kid hit around 8-9 months he managed to get
himself out of it. Of course it was on the floor at the time so when he went thump it was only a small hit.
I put it up on the table a few times with him so he could see what was happening but I was standing in front of him and looking at him, actively
engaging with him. I wouldn't leave him up there, alone on a table lol. fucking duuur.

As a soon to be parent, good thing I saw this! I thought you could place the kid in the Bumbo and put em' o nthe roof of the car and they would be
fine.

Not going to hate on the parents for this one. Fact is shit happens really fast sometimes and every now and then the results are pretty bad.
As far as the Bumbo goes, my daughter used one for a while. The one we had came with a tray that attached to the front so she could not wiggle out of
the device. She sat up on tables in the Bumbo, but never out of our reach or close to the edge. That being said nothing you can do will 100% eliminate
the chance for a serious accident.
Hope the kid is okay and my thoughts are with the parents.
BKT.

My son hates his Bumbo. Hates it. He's also too big for it, and he's 5 months old.

The bumbo is actually cool as hell, Blayz loved it when he was in it. The younger they are they obviously won't have the strength to get out so you
can walk away and it's a safe bet they won't move. Obviously wouldn't recommend putting it up on a table though lol.
Wife put him up on the counter once and was making a bottle in front of him. She turned to the sink to put something in it and he rolled off, while
she was still in front of him.
Lesson, don't put your kids up on high places unless you're giving 100% attention
