We have a very active but very sweet choc lab. He is an inside dog and a true delight to have around but very active. We just found out I am pregnant and then I remember reading all the horror stories of dogs running and jumping in the house and knocking over babies in infant seats, flipping over highchairs, and collasping playpens with the baby inside. The only thing I was able to research and find that others have used with pets to protect the baby is this Babee Tenda safety feeding table that is used from infant to toddler age. It should be it cost alot more than just an infant seat but about as much as the other items put together. So far we have tried everything possible to get our lab to tip the table over or knock it over by jumping on it before the baby arrives. We have put a doll inside the table seat and even put food on the tray. He has jumped on the table and has run into it at full speed and the table has not budged. I know we will have to still work with him but if he gets carried away and doesn't pay attention to the correction I want to make sure my baby is safe and I don't want to get rid of my puppy. The Babee Tenda safety feeding table has proven very sturdy and solid I was just wondering if there is any other test I can put the table through.

Honey don't worry about Babee Tenda. I've raised all my babies in a Babee Tenda table and convertable crib. There is nothing stronger or sturdier or safer. We had a house full of pets and kids. Frankly I think the other kids were more of a threat than the pets. Yes I remember Babee Tenda table and crib being expensive back then but they both lasted for all my kids and now my grandbaby is using them so in the long run they were a real good buy. That stuff took one heck of a beating, use and abuse, and still kept working like I just bought it. The babee tenda table and crib are great. Congrats on the baby and don't worry about the dog.

Hi and welcome to the board. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I applaud your dedication for preparing your dog for your new arrival.

I don't have any kids but I'm sure the link above could be of help to you. Its the Pets and Babies Board. They'd probably love to hear about the table and may have some more ideas for you as well.

Thanks for stopping by and please let us know how things are going.

Renee'
