NO WALKERS FOR BABIES

Physiotherapists in Britain claimed that baby walkers could be harmful for babies. Baby walkers
are said to be responsible for injuring 4.000 children a year in Britain. Hence, these
physiotherapists called for a ban on baby walkers.

They also claimed that baby walkers disrupt the ability of children to develop walking and visual
skills and prevent them from exploring their surroundings.

Meanwhile, physiotherapists in the US found that children who have used baby walkers take a

in walkers, did not perform well in mental tests..
