Comment on No to baby walkers by Veronica

I completely agree that it is safe to use a walker. I think folks just have to use common sense. I agree with the response that a crawling baby is just likely to get hurt or, in fact, even more so than a baby mobilizing in a walker. I think using anything in moderation (no more than 30 minutes), is a good way to go. My son is 9 months. He started using the walker at 6 months and he is developing just fine. He has crawling (his own way), has been sitting up, and is now standing up as of two days ago. So, I’d say it’s going well for him.

I am a mother and a child care practitioner. My son used his walker every evening for around 10 minites a session. He adored it; it gave him the freedom to move around the living room which was always closed off from other rooms and all other safety precautions were of cause followed. He was a lazy child in relation to walking yet within two weeks of using his walker he was begining to take his first unaided steps. I think it unfair to place a general opinion on the use of walkers as EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT. It should be a choice left to the child’s parents and main care providers. My son is now 19 months old and can walk, run, jump and walk up and down the stairs.

My baby loved his walker, it gave him the independance to move at his own will he was craving. He started to crawl at 7 months and walkat 12 months, therefore i do not beleive his development was hindered in any way. Whilst in his walker my baby could follow me around, and/or chose for himself where he wanted to go. As for safety, i see no reason why using a walker would create more risks than those associated with a crawling baby.

I used a walker sinse my baby was 4 months old. He started to walk on 9 months and on 12 months he was running! I do agree with the safety aspects but you can control it. I used the walker just for a short period every day and my baby enjoyed it very much.

i am not quite as weary about using a walker due to safety concerns beacuse i know i will always keep my baby safe, at any cost and time, however, it is the developmental delay aspect that made me feel negatively about using a walker. there are some reads available about how the developmental delays occur.

Walker may add convince to parents..Not to the baby. Most of the baby’s who uses walker, miss the crawling and this may hinder motor development. I personally think that before learning walking it is very important for baby to learn crawling. crawling—on hands or knees, on stomach, moving backwards and sideways for optimal motor development. My son has got injury while using walker even at the age of 15 months when he can have more control over his balance. So do not be doubtful..Avoid walker.
