"I totally agree with the bouncy seat on the counter thing...not safe! But my husband too will bring my son into the kitchen and show him what I am doing. My son LOVES it! I think it is a great idea minus the whole bouncy seat/counter thing."

"This is completely unsafe and the author should not be writing about children's activities. "
|
"I began performing this activity by default since it's the only way I can get breakfast made and I love explaining things to my daughter. The only difference is, I have a big pillow in her stroller and have her lie there so she can accompany me to the refridgerator or dish washer and I can keep her farther away from the stove easily."

"My LO loves this, but instead of using a bouncy seat (I agree doesn't seem too safe), my husband holds her. This lets her get a little closer to the action and she can actually look in the pots/ pans from a safe distance."

"I can't believe you would suggest putting an infant bouncy on the counter top. "
|
"I would argue that unless you've got an infant seat built in to your counter, having a baby on the counter is not a good idea. Wearing the baby (or even just putting the baby in a bouncy seat on the floor and talking to him/her) while cooking and doing the things you describe is much safer."

"This is a great idea! I can't wait to try it!"
