As many new parents know, keeping a child entertained is almost
a full-time job. Even with the countless toys on the market, baby
walkers are still one of the most popular methods of keeping a
child happy. The standard walker is comprised of a wheeled-base
and a supported fabric seat that allows babies the ability scoot
around at their own leisure.
Most baby walkers include:
• Built-in interactive toys and sound that babies love
• Three-adjustable heights
• Safety features such as wide base and locking wheels
• Padded seat for baby comfort
Despite the popularity of baby walkers, the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP) explicitly warns about their dangers, and
advocate that people use exersaucers instead. With one stationary
leg, these let babies walk in circles without giving them the
opportunity to fall down stairs or get into trouble.
