Alternative to the "deadly" Bumbo sitter

If you're a mom, you've more than likely been made aware of the DEADLY BUMBO seat. (For more about Bumbo). Basically, it's a chair for baby to sit in as soon as they have a little head control. and it is proudly made in South Africa (SHOUT OUT, RODWELLS!!!). Anyway. . .any genius can watch a kid in this thing for five seconds and see that it is NOT safe to leave a baby in it unattended. I mean, there's no restraint/harness system at all and it's a soft plastic that moves around when the kiddo squirms. So don't put it on the counter and walk away or kersplat. Harsh, yes I know.
That doesn't mean I have not LOVED my Bumbo. It has been GREAT.
But here is our solution to the deadly Bumbo:
I think Zane likes it.
I think I'm in denial that my kid can sit up on his own with no assistance.
PS: When flipped over, this device doubles as a walker for toddlers in the cruising stage. I think I should "patent" it and have the "Next Best Thing" in the baby retail world. When baby is older, you can use it to haul laundry around the house. GENIUS!!!

Quick, get a patent on that thing!!! :)

And can I just say how cute Zane is?! I'm sure you're just bustin' your buttons over him.

Swwweeeeet. I think I might have one of those sitting around the house. I couldn't remember what it was for - it's been ages since I've used it! :-)
