Cheap baby walker
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strongly advises against the use of walkers, but so far they’ve been unsuccessful in their efforts to get them banned. Even though manufacturers have taken great steps in providing safety features that will prevent a child from getting hurt, buying a cheap baby walker without these features could lead to serious injury or death of an infant or child.
A cheap baby walker may not protect a child from broken bones caused by falling down stairs or drowning from falling into an unsupervised pool. Modern walkers have mechanisms that prevent movement if a wheel is not touching the ground, but older and cheaper models may not. Newer versions also have devices that restrict a child’s movement altogether.
Even though a walker is a good way to entertain a baby, there’s no excuse to leave a child in one unsupervised. An unsupervised child in a high-tech walking aid is no better than a one in a cheap baby walker. It’s important to keep a watchful eye and childproof any room that the little one is in.
