Catch Me, Mom! Choosing a baby walker

Criteria for choosing the best baby walker
If the baby is sitting confidently and began to learn the basics of crawling, it's time to get baby walkers for him. Many refer to them only as a toy, and quite in vain. Walkers with a seat and wheels - this is an excellent simulator for the physical and mental development of the crumbs.
Walker selection criteria a bit, but when buying you need to carefully evaluate each characteristic:
- structural stability;
- comfortable, wide, soft seat, preferably removable;
- multi-level seat height adjustment (from 3 positions and more). Also important is the height of the seat in the maximum and minimum position, because the physical data of all children are different, and a “low” walker may not easily fit a tall child, and vice versa.
- high-quality development panel with toys and music;
- durable wheels made of non-slip material (preferably made of silicone - these do not rattle or scratch the floor), with stoppers. It is believed that the more wheels (from 6 to 10), the better. In fact, this is not entirely true, for example, expensive walkers have only 4 wheels, but the design is designed so that it is absolutely impossible to roll over into them.
Pleasant, but optional little things: springing function (like most kids), rotating seat (allows you to rotate 360 degrees without the wheels), transforming into a table or rocking chair (the base is disconnected and turns into runners), protective bumpers, giving additional protection against tipping and etc.
Walkers - a great educational simulator for kids. But it is useful to remind you of caution again! Special attention needs to be paid safety walker design and safety of their use. The walkers make the kids moving, and they can reach for things that would otherwise be beyond their reach. Therefore - do not leave your baby unattended, do not allow him into the bathroom and toilet, keep him away from hot surfaces. Well, by itself, the walker should not slide and fold from a small effort.
Baby Walker Manufacturers: Who is Better?
Walkers produce as well-known manufacturers of children's goods, and a huge army of lesser-known firms. Products from good, proven manufacturers can be divided into two categories:
- European brands: Peg-Perego, Chicco, Brevi, Barty - expensive, high-quality, technically more advanced;
- Chinese, Polish and Russian products: Selby, Baby Care, Happy Baby, Capella / Jetem, Firefly. It is much cheaper, but it satisfies the basic requirements for quality and safety.
Should I overpay for the famous brand - decide for yourself. On the one hand, for children it is necessary to choose the best, on the other - the walker service time is short, until the baby starts to walk confidently by himself. But what exactly is not worth taking - it is a nameless product, which can be not only useless, but also dangerous to the health of the baby.

Do baby need a walker?
The use of walkers causes mixed feelings in many people: on the one hand, doctors (orthopedists, neurologists and pediatricians) do not recommend their use, on the other - many parents buy them to their children and happily recommend others without noticing anything bad about it. Who is right?
The main arguments against walker The following facts may be considered:
- The walkers put the infant's vigilance to sleep, he learns poorly to feel dangerous boundaries, so after them he may fall more often and get injured;
- they contribute to premature baby verticalization;
- slow the development of a sense of balance;
- child learn to walk wrong on his toes.
At the same time, all moms chant about positive points:
- the walkers are great for the child;
- promote physical development, as the child spends a lot of energy on walking;
- help mom;
- can protect the child in that difficult period when he tries to get up and starts walking.
We advise you to stick golden mean and follow simple rules that will help protect the child’s health, but at the same time help the mother free her hands:
- do not use the walker before the moment when the child starts to sit down and crawl well;
- adjust the height of the seat so that the baby rests on the floor with a full foot, and the legs are slightly bent;
- shoe the feet, this contributes to the proper setting of the feet;
- Do not use a walker for more than 15 minutes in a row, 1-2 times a day.
If the mother is satisfied, the child is satisfied, follow the simple rules and enjoy the new toy.
