    The product, in the report: Smart Steps Explore N Play 5-in-1 Activity to Booster Seat - Blue Safari Fun

    My 6 month old daughter got her hand stuck while using the Smart Steps Explore N Play 5-in-1 Activity to Booster Seat - Blue Safari Fun. Her right wrist was laying on the red and yellow number bulb toys when her hand slowly slid down. We noticed she couldnt move her hand, then tried to help but it was stuck in between the red and yellow bulb like toy sections. Thankfully we were able to push her wrist out but it left a red indentation mark, which did go away.
