New Warning About Baby Walkers And Infant Injury Risks | NBC Nightly News

A new study found more than 230,000 children using walkers ended up in the emergency room between 1990 and 2014. Some doctors are now calling for the product to be banned over injury concerns, as children can quickly maneuver themselves into harm's way.

Why would anyone have their babies in walkers near stairs without a gate? It doesn’t sound like the problem is with the walker... it sounds more like human error.

[@Milliondollarbarbee]

Thank you ready by my son one I would not leave him by himself in a walker come one people your kids need you they can't think safety yet

[@manlly9664]

Make sense 👍

[@badlilstang]

Wait a minute... 74% on stairs and using outside near a street? The issue is the parents... not the product. Seriously.. don't be stupid ppl...

[@savannah3344]

Omg... have a baby gate at the stairs and don't EVER turn your back on a kid outside ever! This is stupid

[@outlawX357]

I would agree, but these are the same people who somehow forget their kids in the car for hours dozens die every year

[@badlilstang]

Well you have something these ppl didn't have apparently..... Common sense!

[@mrstravel9381]

It’s not only dangerous but it messes with a baby’s development and prevents them from meeting their milestones and walking naturally

[@Jdat1212]

Please provide proof to your claim. Thank you.

[@slouberiee]

Other countries (in Europe) banned usage of walkers.

[@barbs8851]

I was walking by 10 months thanks to walkers. My sibling also. And just like susannam said, we not only used walkers but also had a playpen/crib to move around on. The effect on development is likely due to EXTENSIVE use of walkers, which should never be the case. Everything in moderation!

[@ashleyodonnell3815]

It's called parents need to use common sense and watch and limit time baby plays in the walker not ban walkers all together

[@afifsalim5533]

So...if i’m smoking nearby gas source...and it’s explode...it’s the smoke’s fault?

[@StacksOfficial]

No wonder why these things are banned in my country

[@Julie-jl2kk]

walkers dont even help babies learn how to walk anyway

[@slouberiee]

Walkers should not be used for babies (also any other "walk enhancers", hangers etc.). They postpone baby's natural development. The muscles and spine must strengthen naturally THEN the kid can walk and be in upward position. Gosh US people are quite behind developed world...

[@MilkyWhite1]

Nobody think a walker will help a child walk. They are a fun toy for the child to be active in. A baby walking a few months later is a non-problem.

[@CertifiedRockJunkie]

Most RIDICULOUS think ever, if you have stairs.... barricade them.

[@gatekeepercoley]

74% fell downstairs doesn't seem like the walkers were the problem

[@shawnalee74]

It's not the walker it's the parents 🤦‍♀️

[@kareemligons7441]

[@ceemee1430]

[@joshstewart2296]

[@elsabeluus5176]
