Pediatric OT Reveals 3 Baby Seats to Avoid: Important Safety Warning for Parents

Infant Seat Safety: Expert Highlights Risks of Popular Baby Products Parents often rely on product reviews when selecting baby gear. However, not all products are created equal, especially when it comes to infant safety. Recently, a video by Shannon, a pediatric occupational therapist and mom of two, went viral, highlighting safety concerns about three popular baby seats. Shannon emphasizes the importance of proper posture and stability during feeding, noting that many seats fail to provide the necessary 90-degree angles at the hips and knees, along with secure foot support. "The Bumbo seat, for instance, puts the baby in a C-curved position, which is not ideal for eating," Shannon explains in her video. She also criticizes the Fisher-Price Sit-Me-Up seat for its lack of stability and safety straps. "It's moving, and there's not a whole lot of support," she adds. Activity centers, she points out, are not designed for feeding and increase the risk of choking. Shannon's expertise provides valuable insight for parents. Her advice underscores the importance of careful consideration when choosing baby products to prioritize safety and proper development. Parents should always ensure their child is seated securely and comfortably to avoid accidents and promote healthy eating habits.
