Guidelines for the Safe Use of Baby Walkers
Canada has banned the use of dangerous baby walkers. Unfortunately, other countries have yet to do the same.
Since 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics has asked the Consumer Product Safety Commission to do the same. But that request has been denied although the proposed ban is supported by the Consumer Federation of America, the American Medical Association and other concerned groups.
“Opponents of the proposed ban argue that stairs cause most injuries, not the walkers. But since it’s impossible to eliminate stairs, it’s advisable to stop using walkers,” said the editors of Health News.
To appease consumer groups, some manufacturers have redesigned their walkers and have come up with safety features. Still, the fact remains that many walkers are dangerous and pose a threat to your child.
If your child doesn’t have a walker, don’t make the mistake of buying one. If you decide to get one, choose a model that is too wide to fit through doorways and pay close attention to your child. In Consumer Reports’ Guide to Baby Products, Sandy Jones and Werner Freitag offer the following advice:
Remove the walker’s wheels to prevent infants from moving too fast and making them more prone to accidents.
Never leave the child unattended.
Never use walkers near stairs, steps, or thresholds. Check that surfaces are flat and free of objects that may cause tripping-over either indoors or outdoors.
To reduce the chance of the child slipping out of the seat, check that both feet of the child touch the floor, and never carry walkers with the child in it.
To avoid burn injuries, keep the child away from ranges, radiators, space heaters, or fireplaces.
Always use the walker’s restraint system.
Follow the manufacturer’s height, weight or age recommendations and stop using the walker when your child has outgrown it.
Discontinue using the walker should it become damaged or broken.
Most important, keep the child in view while he or she is in the walker.
To stay alert and sharp while watching your child, take Neurovar. For more information on this powerful memory enhancer, go to http://neurovar.com/prod10.aspx.
