I suspect all such devices are invented by eldest children who subconsciously resent the fact that a younger sibling who took away all their love and attention didn't die in a convenient "accident".

Like every other child-related product in existence, do not leave baby unattended!

Asians developed this device. Apparently it hasn't caught on in North America yet (assuming the thing isn't actually illegal yet which I'm sure it will be soon).

I think it's more ridiculous than anything else.

I will ad that as a developing father, I've noticed that most infant care products are marketed on fear mongering, and specifically and explicitly cite such wisdom as "better safe than sorry" so why not spend another $20.

You'll soon discover that a lot of the "better safe than sorry" things are to catch a very small percentage of at-risk babies so better apply it to ALL babies so that they don't get overlooked. I think after you make the leap and refuse to give in on one thing and then nothing bad happens, the easier it is to keep going. For me, refusing the erythromycin eye goo was the gateway drug.

For whatever reason, the neck pillow for babies which you put on them like they just got out of a car accident and need traction was more horrifying to me than this. I mean, at least the neck float looks fun.
