The problem is actually worse than that: even if you buckle your baby in it’s still unsafe for unmonitored sleeping as the baby’s airway can compress due to the incline. Using the product as the picture and text on the box depicts (sleeping next to Mom as she sleeps in bed, great for ‘all-night’ sleep) risks death. The initial CSPC statement and the company’s response all (deliberately?) ignore that issue and those deaths.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is clear: the only safe way to sleep is on a baby’s back, with no padding and on a flat surface. This product was never certified for safe sleep; Fisher-Price calls it a ‘sleeper’ instead of a regulated term like bassinet or crib to get around this fact.
