Dangerous Glider Trapped Baby and I

kbums

I also posted this on 3rd trimester but I wanted to post this here to warn people about the glider that I have in my DH nursery.  Night before last I was sitting in it with my 3 week old.  I had just gotten her to fall asleep so I went to stand up with her.  When I did the WHOLE glider tipped over forward and trapped me underneath with the baby.  Thank goodness we weren't hurt but I had to yell for help from my DH who was downstairs at the time.  I was worried that if I tried to move it, it would really hurt the baby or myself.  I want to make sure that no one buys this glider for their baby. I have contacted the maker and it is being returned this week.  It's soooo dangerous.   It's the Carter's Glider manufactured by Summer Infant.  It was purchased at Babies R Us.  It's white with sage green cushions.  The Babies R Us item number on my receipt is 426222.I would not advise anyone to use this glider!  It tips veryyyyy easily!!!

If you had your glider on carpet, then it's totally insane that it would flip, but if it has a wood base against a wood floor, not so insane. If it's wood on wood, you probably need to have a rug with a non slip bottom underneath it, or add some non slip strips to the bottom of it. We bought the IKEA Poang instead of a glider and it flipped on me (luckily, before LO was born), but I hadn't put it on a rug or anything. I didn't consider that to be a faulty product.. I shouldn't have put wood against wood and expected it to stay in place.
