I am concerned that the tension of the bars is extreme. If the ties give can it hurt the baby? Any reason for concern?

No, no reason for concern. The rods are very sturdy and secured by plastic hooks under the floor mat, not ties. In the end if you are worried about a bungee type effect if one of the plastic pieces came undone, don't be. It would just slump over like a tent would if you took out he rods. Great product, mine is still in perfect condition after almost 6 months.

It is hot, even on low it will hurt a toddler. Great product, but unless is it behind a gate or something like that -- I would be very hesitant to use it around the baby.

I wouldn't because it is a plastic breakable item that would probably come apart or off the car seat in an impact or accident that reduces the stability inside the car. The chance of your baby becoming injured if this broke or if it hit him in some way (perhaps from other objects coming loose inside the car) is not worth the risk. I used with my kids, and will use with my grandkids, safe plastic toy links with toys attached because tons of little things can be attached to those, even a binky tether. You can also easily change the toys from hard to soft and in between. Just don't make the links long enough for him to wrap them around his neck while you're busy driving.

It would hook onto your bar but there would not be leg room for your child's legs unless the face where the child's feet would be is completely open.

You're welcome! I understand. You're being cautious of course! Another item I used for all 3 of my babies was a "wedge" that kept the baby on their backs.. Course they can't roll anyway ... BUT it keeps them firmly in place - which is good.. And gives the parents more peace of mind. Good luck!! :)

I have never encountered my grand-daughter doing anything on this bar or mats that is going to endanger her. However, she is very advanced in gymnastics class. Help your loved one to be prepared for any exercise that he/she is going to do. Let him/her go to gymnastics classes and be able to decide if he/she has had enough instruction in order to use the bar and mats safely. Are they safe for the qualified? Yes! Absolutely!

I plan on putting my baby on the other side when he is able to sit up on his own. If you do it beforehand, they'll just slide down and obviously thats not safe.

All i can say to your comment is ditto. Putting any kind of shoelaces or anything loose for that matter is purely dangerous. If it unravels (whic. Is more than likely going to happen) both parent and child are going down. I left mine off and am depending solely on the Velcro straps to keep my toddler from having anything to do with the rear wheel.

Ours did the same thing. I started using my perch in incriminates of two hours because of the same concern. I also worry that it gets too hot, and there is no way to cover it safely. So my suggestion is use it sparingly, keep a close eye on your baby, they are too precious to take chances on their well being. Also, check talons if possible to see if heat has affected their toes, this also will let you know if it's harming him

You would want to weight down the legs. My child is 11 and weighs about 80 pounds and the bars start to rock a bit when being used.

The bar spacing is very close. You shouldn't have a problem with baby rats.

No it does not. But it doesn't just rock easily when putting baby in or out. I don't think you would find this to be an issue.

No the bars are not strong. My nine year old grandson had problems with his almost immediately. He weighs less than 80 pounds.

I don't think the preexisting edges will cause a problem but it is hard plastic so if you cut a sharp edge its possible you could get injured. I used a staple gun to attach it to my banister so it's very smooth and the edges are hardly noticeable to my baby

I don't see that being a problem. The slide is held down by a few screws and the monkey bars with some brackets, but they are not attached to any particular piece of wood that has to go on one side or the other. Honestly the monkey bars is only three bars, barely enough for any kid to even swing on before they are putting their feet back down. If I was to build it again I would just tell my husband to leave them off. The set comes with extra pieces and it would have been enough to place slats across that opening to close it up so no one would fall back. I hope this helped.

No, you may get away with a 6 ft bar but it is very tight and probably dangerous, we got a 7 foot bar to use instead

My baby is 8 months now. He is starting to crawl and lifting himself up by holding onto the bars, trying to cross over to our bed. So it's time to remove the bassinet! You will know when it gets dangerous for them :)
