Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Make sure that the walker you chose has met the Product Safety Standards Baby Walker Regulations 2001 to assure that the product is safe.
Step2
Pick a walker which has a base larger than the average door frame. This reduces the risk of injury since it limits the child's access to open areas and stairs.
Step3
Find a walker that has a wheelbase wider and longer than the walker frame to assure that the unit is stable and does not overturn while your child is in it.
Step4
Hunt for a product that has protective coverings over all metal screws or hinges. This prevents your child from cutting her hands on rough edges or getting her fingers caught in any hinges.
Step5
Choose a walker that meets the manufacturer's recommended weight and height for your baby.
Step6
Search for certification by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association to insure that the product you have chosen is safe for your baby to use. Make sure you follow all the manufacturer's instructions for use to prevent any injuries to your child.
