It’s so
exciting to see a baby take the first step! When wheeled seats arrived on the
scene that would allow babies to move around with their feet on the floor,
parents and babies alike was delighted. Some parents still use these baby
walkers to help their children learn to walk or to give them some exercise or
mobility. Some use baby walkers almost like pacifiers for the legs: many babies
seem happier when they are propelling themselves across the floor.
Parents
should know that walker use typically delays motor development and that it
delays mental development even more beyond this, walker use is dangerous.
In 1994,
when baby walkers were still extremely popular in the United States, the
Consumer Products Safety Commission declared that baby walkers were responsible
for more injuries than any other children’s product. The types of injuries
included head injuries, broken bones, broken teeth, burns, entrapment of
fingers and even amputations or death. Owing to use baby walker these cases
were happened in United States of America.
Canada
and any other western countries banned baby walker as well.
