Make sure your baby's first steps are safe steps. Most baby walker accidents happen when baby is left unattended. Use the following safety guidelines for walkers:
Never leave baby unattended in a walker.
Choose a sturdy walker with the recommended height and weight of your child.
Select a walker that has a wheel base that is longer and wider than the frame of the walker itself to ensure its stability.
Coil springs and hinges of walker must have protective coverings.
Only use a walker on smooth surfaces; remove all throw rugs when baby is in walker.
Keep tops of stairways blocked with gate or enclosure and doors closed. Keep child away from ranges, radiators and fireplaces.
