Has anyone else experienced pinching of kids' hands on top of the bar where the holes and the S-hook meet? We have - no hardware protection.

5 year old has been playing on it for quite some time now . He has never complained. So i would say NO

My very strong suggestion is to look for a different chair. I had purchased two of these for my grandkids and they tipped over forward the minute the kids tried to sit in them. We tried several times, but decided they weren't worth the potential of bruised faces and broken teeth. Not a safe item for children. My daughter used them to hold some potted plants for a while and then threw them out.

I had the same problems as Patrick Calahan and Kristin1724. I emailed back and forth with the manufacturer all day today, and was informed "there will still be a gap on the toddler rail." I've since reported this crib to the CPSC (http://www.saferproducts.gov/Default.aspx) because I believe that the design of the converted toddler bed with the rail gap is unsafe. If I had know about this gap before choosing the crib, I would never have chosen the Babyletto Mercer. I now need to purchase a toddler bed for my 22-month-old.

T. Yuan was right- I'm surprised anyone is using the bike like this or just stuffing stuff in there to make it tighter! that's pretty dangerous.... use the wrench that came with it, or your own wrench to tighten it and make the opening tighter once it's on the pole.

Hey Victoria: My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band. Thanks, John

Just cooked some soup on mine today. Remove that dumb cage top and bend and trim the carry handle so it's snug against the lid. Then be careful; a boil-over will make a mess and maybe crack the glass chimney. I don't see any danger like all the chicken-littles squawk about; that's just how kids are trained nowdays.

I've been grabbing both sides from the bottom, and have been shimming a bit. You will not break the tops, but the individual arms might slide out...just push back in.

I had trouble with this too. I tried 4 or 5 times, then it just fell into place. If you look at the picture carefully, the loops go over the bar and the bottom protruding arms hook on the bottom bar. Good Luck.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

On the inside there is a plastic plate and a plastic screw extends from the plate and goes between the vertical slats of the crib. You secure it with a large plastic "nut" that is large enough to cover two vertical slats. It says it won't damage the crib, but if you screw it tight enough, you could leave pressure marks in wood. There's no way to secure it to the top bar of the crib. In theory, if your baby pulled down hard enough, it could slip down. I was worried about that, but my son hasn't shown any interest is pulling on the base.

I just slid my thumb to the edge of the rubber end holder, and slid down that part, while pulling gently to remove it. As i don't know how old your son is, you may have to show him.

Hey Donna; I had trouble putting one of the bolts through one of the holes where the arm meets the foot pipe. I got stuck on that one part for about 30 minutes to an hour. It was like the holes were not synced when they were cut. It took some moving around and a few grey hairs later voila! I had my issue on the "L" footbar and arm bar. I had to maneuver the arm and leg every which way to get it to fit. Eventually it ended up going in; could not tell you what I did to force it to fit. It was like little effort did it over my weak force! I hope you ae able to get it to work. I am on the elliptical as I write this and it is an amazing pice of equipment.

There are tiny holes all over mine too. I think they're supposed to be there to let tiny amounts of air out or else it would pop. I haven't had issues with mine at all, and I've got 4 boys wrestling and bouncing like crazy in there. Check the info packet just to make sure, because if it loses too much air then they won't be able to bounce on it.

I believe I used a wrench to pull it up around the bar.... There might be a you tube video about it.

Front side facing u, pull hook very hard for the first time, once open on rightside it should drop open. Hope this works for u. Let me know.

I wish I could help you. I never had that problem. There usually is a clip on the handles to keep them together. Good Luck.

It's not air tight as far as I can tell, but there is no safety device that would keep it from slamming down on a kids head or fingers if it isn't put up the whole way. Something to think about.
