I read bad reviews of Safety 1st products all the time on the internet (see Amazon.com for some examples). Today I went to a store that specializes in baby proofing. There were a handful of Safety 1st products and DH said to the lady that he heard their products didn't work well (to which I spun my head around in amazement - apparently he actually researched something) and the woman agreed and said she carried a few of their products that she feels work well, but not the others. She said she sees to president of the company every year at the trade show and passes on people's complaints about his products and that he doesn't seem to care. Just says, thanks for letting me know. I think they make plenty of money selling to unsuspecting people who don't know their products don't work very well.

Anyway, just thought I'd share...
