Fisher Price has introduced a new baby seat that is able to hold an iPad suspended in front of an infant’s face, presumably so they can watch a show. The site explains, “Look for apps with black and white images to enhance visual skills, soothing apps with nature scenes, learning apps and more.” We do think youngsters should get some exposure to technology, but this seems like too much, too soon. With the iPad strapped to the front of the chair, the baby has no choice but to stare at the screen, with no possibility for interaction with the outside world. Little kids can at least get up and move around if they’re bored of watching TV, but a baby in this seat would be stuck.

What do you think? Would you buy this for your child or the kids in your life?
