Putting a baby in a walker is like giving a teenager a Ferrari -- a dangerous risk. That's why, as of April 2007, Canada has banned the sale of baby walkers.

UK data suggests, however, that more accidents and injuries happen in babywalkers than with any other form of baby equipment. This is because they give babies extra speed (a baby can reach up to one meter per second in one zoom), extra height, and access to multiple hazards.

Most injuries are caused by falls when the babywalker tips and the baby is thrown downstairs or crashes into furniture, heaters, or ovens. There is also an increased risk of your baby being burnt by previously inaccessible objects, such as candles and hot cups of tea. Thirdly, it allows her to reach household poisons, such as perfume, mouthwash, or alcohol, left at a previously safe level.

Most people believe that when a baby is occupied in his little 'wagon', he is safe and can be left unsupervised for short periods. In reality, extra vigilance is needed when your baby is in a baby walker and your baby would be safer left on the floor in a hazard-free room. (Read tips on baby-proofing your house).

Walkers won't help your baby learn to walk and in fact, using one too much may even delay her development slightly. A baby needs to roll, crawl, sit and to play on the floor, in order to reach her developmental milestones.

In spite of the worrying statistics, an outright ban on walkers could be unrealistic. Some experts feel they should be designed only for babies over 9 months of age who are already sitting and crawling, and are limited in the speed that they can travel. It should be compulsory for customers to be given clear safety guidelines when buying a baby walker. (If there are no clear guidelines, be wary and do your due research.)

If someone suggests a walker for your baby consider alternatives or, better still, let her exercise on the floor in the good, old-fashioned way.

i should agree with this articles because:
1: Baby walker not really safe for Rayna
2: Baby walker doesn't help Rayna to develop her walking skills, so let her develop it naturally
3: I can save some money, instead of buying bb walker i will definitely buy her lots of toys, yippie rayna

only mother & father knows what best for the babies, it is still up to u weather to but it or not...n i also found that bb walker has its own attraction, for example gives so much fun to your baby, ur baby can moves by herself (of course with supervision for mom n dad) and also we can occupied baby's times while we can do our work.
