Your Child's Movements Are Now Accelerating- But Is Baby Walker A Good Choice?

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

    What you need to know

    A baby walker is nothing but a harness with a baby seat and wheels for legs. This allows easy gliding across the room. At first sight, it might seem exciting to watch her moving about and give you a much needed break but experts believe that these gadgets do more harm than good. 

    Your baby might involve herself in dangerous trip-overs, especially when the floor is uneven. It might not be fun when she “walks” down a flight of staircase with uncontrollable speed.

    Scooting in a walker pushes your little one to walk on her heel and toes, which is a great idea for a ballerina, but not normal kids. It’s best that you get the walker out after she gains some leg control.
