Do you feel Amazon is a safe site for your kids to visit? I never gave it a second thought until I came across this product as a result of a search I was doing for a hamster cage for my daughter. Given the level and language of the details in the item's description, as well as the comments, I think there might need to be separate rules or separate section maybe password protected with age limits for these types of products. I don't know if a complete ban on all such products is necessary - deciding where to draw these lines can be problematic. What do you think? Do you feel Amazon is a safe site for your kids to visit?

You need to be 18 to have an Amazon account, and use it. Amazon clearly states that, however it is a great site with great prices.

Can anyone explain to me how I would go about asking questions like this on other products? I've received several "amazon answers" questions on these boots, but I'm not very computer savvy and don't know how to create a new question. Thank you.

I bought this for my son who turned two! I felt pretty confident that he was not going to try and shove this thing into his mouth and choke on it... I was more worried about getting the wheels caught in his or his sister hair, if he wandered it near hair while the little motor was running. I think that it has the potential to rip some hair out. If you're worried about you child choking on this, then, STOP right now and don't order this. Order him or her a helmet with a mouth guard and follow them around the house padding everything they bump into.....or cut the cord and left them discover the fun of life and toys!

Good question--having five grandchildren I am always the super safe guy. This might happen if a big kid got into it but the way it is made (leg holes) a big kid couldn't get into it. This is not a question about which you should worry. Great product and seems very safe.

Many, if not most, of the Ergos sold here are fakes. It's a real shame that Amazon is willing to turn a blind eye to illegal products that put children in danger. Sure, they are happy to offer refunds to anyone who realizes they got a fake, but there are thousands of people out there using dangerous fakes they bought from Amazon, not realizing they are.

I did not have a problem, however, I am not sure I understand your concern. I am a grandmother of 3 under 5years of age and a mother of 2. I used a playpen (especially this one) with all and I never had anyone hurt themselves. If anything, they learned to hang on so they would not fall backward. A great incentive to move forward around the playpen.

sorry... we haven't used this in years and I have no idea what to tell you. I just wanted to respond so you knew Amazon really did forward questions to people who bought items you ask questions about. good luck!

Sorry I am late with repsonding to a question asked. . . parental appts. are part of my daily routine these days. I am also sorry to say I can't help with an answer. I bought this for my 2 year old grand daughter and as far as I know it's fine and safe. I haven't heard anything to the contrary. Best Regards. . .

Hi Crystal, I can't see why it would not be good for kids. But, I think supervision would be wise.

No there is nothing for it to click onto, and it wouldn't be safe. Great for when they are older though.

I actually used it (supervised at first, of course) when my son was 10 months old. He started to understand how it worked overtime. He is 14 months now and does great on his own. I think the warning should be thought of as a suggestion in this case. Just make sure to look for small parts, but in this box the smallest part was about the size of a bouncy ball , so it wasn't too bad.

The software is a little quirky, so it's good to download the manual (you can download a pdf off their website) in order to better understand its capabilities. Also, make sure their computer can handle the software. Besides that, I don't see why a 14-year-old would have a problem with this software. You can do a lot with it, but it doesn't make it less intuitive.

i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out... » Read More i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. « Show Less

I contacted The First Years, and here is a portion of their response: "I can assure you that our Products have met and exceed all safety standards and regulations and this is an incorrect warning posted on Amazon. We have been in contact with them and will be removing the warning on this product from the website." Although the statement about "safety standards and regulations" is meaningless, they do directly say that Amazon is in error. Since Amazon has a history of this problem with some baby products, I'm pretty confident that The First Years is correct and telling the truth.

I got rid of the packaging so I'm not sure if it has a recommendation or not, but my 4 year old had a blast doing this with her dad. He mostly did everything of course. I would recommend adult supervision and help up to 12 or so. My 11 year old daughter followed my Husband's directions & was able to do everything herself. I don't believe the bowl gets hot enough for anyone to actually burn themselves on accident or anything. Seemed pretty safe, but I would just recommend adult supervision for children in case they need help pouring, etc. But I would say any age would enjoy participating and/or just watching the process.

Amazon should let you see other answers in your email before you reply so the person who asks the question doesn't get a bunch of repeated answers. Just some unasked for input on my part. I don't have time to login and find the post before helping someone out.

jesus..... people are so ridiculous. You can never get a straight answer about anything on Amazon. Does it click or not? lmao
