(More customer reviews)Imagine my surprise when I saw red paint chips all over my baby's little mouth! Then Kolcraft is impossible to deal with!
I do not keep my baby in this for long periods of time. Perhaps 15 minute periods when I need to fold clothes, vacuum, you know how that goes. Anyway, this product had been in my estimation the perfect place to put baby for these intermissions. The toys are great, it was easy to assemble. I love, love the feature that enables you to re-purpose this as a walk behind!
My little guy teethes on the toy arch of this item. It is half yellow and half red. He only has 2 little bottom teeth. Then one day I was sitting on the floor playing with him while he was in this and noticed that he had a lot of red chips all over his mouth and inside as well. At first I thought it was blood, but he was not crying and didn't appear hurt. I looked at the toy arch and noticed that the red paint chips off. I took him out and called Kolcraft. The rep seemed distant and unconcerned but I was sent another toy arch, I asked the rep to please report this awful defect and her response was "I never heard of this before." I asked if that could be because the product was just manufactured in 6/2005. She didn't know!
Over 1 week later, the new arch arrived, I opened it and scratch tested it and sure enough, the paint chipped off. I called Kolcraft and once again, was told I would be sent another toy arch. Perhaps they don't get it!
Thinking it was just "Me" overreacting, I placed my baby in this again with the new arch in place. Sure enough, he is teething on it within the first 2 minutes and like before, paint chips are around his mouth. Once again I called Kolcraft and was told that there was nothing they could do except issue me another toy arch. They are missing the point of all this and I cannot seem to reach anyone there who seems to realize that we moms do not want to see the paint on our babies toys come off in their mouths and on their faces.
They keep telling me not to worry because the paint is non toxic! In my opinion, this just should not happen!
Although this product has excellent features and my baby loves this, (I did too) I would look for an alternative until they get this flaw corrected.
