You know, those baby strollers and buggies go for the 800 + price tag. . So are they just a fashion accessory or the price tag does not reflect quality. From what I can say … They are a fashion accessory. I never paid anything even close to it, and everything I've bought my kids lasted two and was forwarded to someone else after that. There is no point in a pram or stroller that will last 20 years – your child use it only for 2.

There are so many recent evidence now that baby walkers are bad for developing babies. In fact, they retard the progress, not encourage it, and they result in many more referrals to physiotherapists for problems with walking, including walking on tiptoe. They are as dangerous as an immobile baby is suddenly given wheel speed and without developmental maturity to cope with its environment. The same goes for the door baby bouncers. Both are too often used as babysitters liabilities. The best place for babies to learn to walk is lying on the floor. There he can learn to ride and explore their environment safely, using the right muscles at the right time in its development. Why some people are still in their baby these things, and expecting them to use muscles that are simply not ready yet. I suspect due to lack of info. Why also, I must ask, what are these things still sold in stores, given the mounting evidence. Please look at the link below before answering. Thank you for your answers so far. I know not everyone uses them for hours, but I do not understand is the mistaken notion that they encourage children to walk when they do not, and I think that this has been saying for years and they are still for sale is worrying, especially as the evidence piles up. The cost to the NHS must also be quantifiable because of references to physical therapy and GP time. Some countries have banned it, I think the UK should consider doing the same. I think given the relationship between A & E and Removal of baby walkers, and medical problems, among others, it is clear that there are security issues with them. The problem is that they are misused, and babies are not properly supervised when in them. Given the mistaken notion that many people have what they encourage walking, which in itself may indicate that parents may actually think that spending longer periods of time is beneficial. I would like to see much more information and advice to parents if they are to continue to be sold. I see where you are all coming from. I am a mother too, and although I did not use a walker, I used a bouncer for my son purely for personal entertainment as he liked the feeling. . So please do not think I'm doing you all. I realize that we can find risk throughout, and there is a need to allow our children room to make mistakes, but when it comes to the safety of babies, I'm sorry but I do not think this can be taken lightly. I do not think it is to make our babies think they are the center of the world, they already are. Babies do not fit you, you stand to them. You need to first wee while anyway. Thank you again for all your answers. This is what I love about this forum, you always get the food for thought. . I have. I think the recurring theme throughout the responses is that people (who responded) use these things responsibly, with great awareness of the needs of their baby and evaluations of their safety, which is well . As I said earlier, I also used a door as a bouncer brief entertainment for my son, but mostly he was on the floor. This is reflected in your responses. The fundamental problem is the lack of information. The kind of parents who let their child in these things without help are perhaps not going to spend their time on Yahoo answers, or even have access to the internet. As a social worker, I have seen parents with attitudes very poor parents who do not really have the capacity to address these issues and weigh up risks etc. Since there is no info on the box regarding these concerns, the problems will continue. Time is the essential element. The report does not say that if your child as much as puts a foot in one of these things they will be delayed. Respondents who say their child was well they did also add that their child has played a lot on the floor and it was only for brief periods. Allows us to understand that there are those who leave their babies in far too long, and then these problems develop. And I am a mother, as I said. I'm all for 5 minutes for you, and to allow children to take risks. I agree that if we read all the reports and it took at face value, we would never want to leave home. I feel strongly about this too, and have a very balanced view of these things (eg my son received the MMR vaccine 2 years ago). I guess because I've seen the damage that lack of stimulation can have on children first hand that these things may have hit home more. . . But seriously thank you for your answers and honesty. Today, I found that … Curiously, the oldest of my three children (who are all teenagers now) used baby walkers and develop normally, walking naked on time or even a bit on the side at first, and have had no problem development at all. My child, now, NOT using one, and she walked upright unaided when the pundits said it should, and it is also quite normal. Perhaps in this research, as in the case study of thousands of women who had morning sickness, which showed that 51% of women with morning sickness have daughters, the corellation is so small it is negligible. I mean, 49% were boys, but researchers have yet jumped up and down and everybody says that if you have morning sickness you are more likely to have a daughter. Oh, well, no point in me to do research at this point. My older children are fine, and so is the baby, and the question of the walker walker or not is debatable. Edit to add: There are many children who have developmental problems that have never used a walker or a bouncer. Considering this and the fact that there are many children who have used that do not have any problems if I was having to make a decision tomorrow on whether or not to leave a baby in a walker be, I would ask the legitimacy of research and probably just use the danged walker.
