Is Baby Walker Safe?


Common concern is actually baby walkers are safe. Truthfully that there were no injuries with walkers, some are bad for a major injury in 1988, with 8 months as Luke Parker was permanent and disfiguring facial injuries. Unfortunately, this incident happened when his parents were only inches away. His father was just taking a break ', when Luke has go out and i also took the wheel and finished up in a fire. This example and others triggered a worldwide debate about the safety with the kids of baby walkers. Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) to report annually the number of accidents, injuries in 4500, which is more than another the main child devices.

Even though this incident has caused a heated debate, but walkers buying is increasing. The makers claim that the walkers could actually save human lives or damage. They created this statistic, that's less than 3% of injuries for many children 'are baby walkers. In 1985, the customer Safety Unit said that "almost all mothers discovered to be a walker device key, and very helpful."
