What are baby walkers?
Baby walkers, also called infant walkers, are designed for children who are sitting up, but not yet walking on their own. Although available in many different designs, most walkers consist of a rigid frame set upon a wheeled base, which allows the infant to be more mobile. Within the rigid frame is a fabric seat that supports the child’s body weight, but allows the child’s feet to be in contact with the floor. Thus, the child can move about freely without a parent’s help. The prices of walkers vary greatly, as walkers tend to have different features, such as plastic trays, bouncing mechanisms and built-in play stations.
