Walkers
Walker manufactures have developed safety features that have greatly reduced the number of accidents that babies have when using walkers. The best thing that you can do to keep your child safe when you are using a walker is to keep the walker on a flat surface without stairs. The largest number of injuries with walkers occur when a baby falls down a stairway in a walker. Never leave your child unattended when he is in a walker and that means stay in the same area or room with him.
If you set the seat height according to manufacturer directions, your baby will be able to touch both feet on the floor. A walker provides a lot of entertainment for your baby and helps him prepare to walk. Muscle tone and strength increase as your baby uses the walker. As long as you are aware of the hazards of using a walker, you will be able to provide a safe environment for the fun that your baby will have when he uses it.
