Captive audience
This has to be one of the worst ideas for a baby product that I have ever seen. Babies under six months of age should NEVER be strapped in and forced to stare at a screen pulsing images in front of them. Not only is it horrible for vision and brain develpoment, but it incourages irresponsible parenting as well. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends ZERO screen time for children under the age of two. As a mom, I'm not going to say that I never put my kids in front of Baby Einstein so that I could finally get a shower, but to strap an infant into a seat and put a screen within inches of their face is aborhant. If you're going to put your baby in front of the TV, at least put them further away and give them the option to look around at their environment if they want to look away from the TV.
