1- Make sure that the baby walker that you choose has a stable wide wheeled base, preferably not less than thirty-six inches (92cm) wide. This will prevent your child from getting through the width of a door-way.
2- Find out what the recommended maximum child weight is?
3- A folding walker is very useful when visiting, but make sure that it has a good locking system. You don’t want it collapsing while your child is in it.
4- The seat portion must not be detachable and should be made of a strong durable material.
5- Do not pick up the walking ring while your child is in it. He could fall out.
6- Your child is not ready for a baby walker if he is unable to sit without help.
7- Make sure that there are no obstacles and that the floor is flat and firm (your lawn is not a good place). Electrical cords and toys lying around should be removed.
8- Do you have glass doors? If they are not safety glass, have the glass replaced. You really do need crash-proof doors for your mobile infant.
9- If there are stairs, make sure that access is solidly blocked. A gated stairway is not necessarily safe. Given enough momentum, your baby can crash right through the safety gates.
10- Have a look around, get down to his level, are there any potted plants, electronic equipment, or anything else at all that he could possibly pull down on himself. Don’t just say No! Put your hand out and pull!
11- Don’t forget, babies in walkers can also roll into fires and swimming pools. Be vigilant!
