Walking is a necessary step for every baby's growth. In order for the baby to learn to walk better, many mothers will prepare some walking aids for their babies, and a walker is one of them. So which one is more suitable for babies? Why can't a walker be used? The following editor will explain it to you, hoping to help you.

Which is more suitable for babies: a walker or a walking belt?

Many parents like to buy various brands of walkers or walking belts for their babies. However, I do not recommend using either of them. Using a walker or walking belt will destroy the baby's balance, affect the baby's walking posture, and even make it impossible to correct it for life. Therefore, I suggest that parents should let the baby crawl normally and enough, and then they will naturally learn to walk. There is no need to force it!

Why not use a walker?

If the muscles of the body are not fully developed, using a walker is not good for the spine. And because walkers slide on wheels, which is different from the way we humans walk, children will learn the wrong way to exert force and sense of balance, which will affect their walking posture in the future. In addition, the biggest hidden danger is that if the child is not properly supervised and does not have enough control and safety awareness, it is easy to get injured. For safety reasons, many countries have strictly prohibited the sale of walkers.

What are the dangers of using a walker for your baby?

1. The baby's range of activities will become larger, and he will be able to touch dangerous items that he cannot reach normally, such as kettles, electrical sockets, etc.

2. It may cause bone deformity in the baby.

3. Babies will rely on walkers to walk. Once the baby has a wider field of vision in the walker, he will be unwilling to crawl on the ground or practice walking by himself.

4. The baby walks on tiptoe (using only toes) for a long time.
