What is a walker
The baby walker, which was introduced to China from the west, is a walking car for babies who can't walk.It is usually divided into three parts: chassis frame, upper plate seat and music box, which are usually classified as toy buggy.Baby walkers can help babies learn to walk to a certain extent. Some baby walkers with small toys also have some entertainment functions, and can also correct the baby's poor body movements.If the parents can use it correctly according to the instructions, it will not only facilitate the baby's walking, but also reduce the burden of the parents to take care of the baby.But if used improperly, it will bring harm to the baby.Parents should use caution.
The advantages and disadvantages of learning to walk
benefits
Step - by - step action: step - by - step car, as the name implies, it can help the baby learn to walk independently.
2. Overcoming fear: it can help the baby overcome fear and take the first step of standing alone.
3. Not easy to fall: compared with other baby learning to walk, the scooter can play a more protective role than other baby accessories, and the baby is not easy to fall.
4. Emancipate parents: it can reduce the burden of baby care, so that parents do not need to hold the baby all the time.
The harm
1. Restricted activities: the baby will be confined to a certain space by the scooter, and the limit and space of activities will be reduced.
2. Reduce exercise opportunities: during the normal practice of walking, the baby can always avoid the bump and bump.It can be said that it is the repeated process of falling and climbing over and over again that makes the baby learn to walk, which can enhance the coordination of the baby.A sense of pride arises in the child after he or she successfully climbs up, but the use of a walker clearly deprives the child of the opportunity to wrestle.
3. Add risk: sometimes parents will put their babies in the walker for a long time and let them move by themselves.It's actually dangerous.If you fall out of the car, hit your head, or get tangled up in a rope around your neck while operating a walker, it can be dangerous for your parents not to notice.
4. Not good for normal development: generally speaking, the baby's bones have a lot of gum, less calcium and softer bones.But once the walker is moving too fast, the baby can only push forward with two legs, which can easily deform the bones of the old thighs and create circle-legged legs.
Vulnerable: many babies don't have the ability to operate their own pedicab, which can be harmful to their health.Parents should know that if a baby spends too much time in a fast walker, he or she will easily become overly nervous and excited, which will affect his or her intellectual development and character formation.
How to buy a walker
1. Check whether the school walker is qualified for inspection: first, parents should check whether the school walker has a quality inspection mark, commodity mark and manufacturer information posted on it.Parents must consider the safety performance of the product when selecting the product, so as to ensure the safety of the baby.Parents are recommended to choose a large brand product with good reputation for the baby, so that the product quality is more guaranteed, such as veyida multi-function walker.Its safety durable price is high, after strict quality safety test, many falls are still intact, you can rest assured to use for the baby.Not only that, but the walker is cute and brightly colored and can easily win over babies.Moreover, it adopts the considerate ratio of triangle bracket and manual two-speed control design, which is stable and not easy to turn over on the side, so as to facilitate the baby to control the speed to adapt to his own pace and make him safer to walk and less prone to fall.
In addition, the veyida multifunctional walker also has detachable panels, which can be used independently by freely changing toddlers' modes and learning forms. It can be said that it integrates toddlers' learning and learning functions.
2. Select the larger lower plate: if the lower plate of the product is larger, the center of gravity of the product can be ensured to be low and very stable, and the car will not turn over easily.Compared with other walkers, they can keep a safe distance from other objects while driving.Larger wheels and more robust walkers are flexible, more suitable for parents to buy.
3. Check whether the baby walker has a high and low lifting function: if the baby walker has a setting that can adjust the high and low lifting function, it will be beneficial to adjust the distance between the baby's feet and the ground.This will not only provide a safe environment for the baby, but also make the walker more comfortable and safe for the baby to use.
How big a baby a pedicab is
1. Baby's growth trajectory
2. (1) two months: usually, the baby will kick his/her legs alternately if he/she adopts the prone position at two months.
(2) three to four months: when the baby is three to four months old, it usually likes to elbow up the upper body.
(3) 8 to 9 months: when the baby is between 8 and 9 months old, the baby will use the upper limbs to drive the lower limbs to crawl, and can use the knees to crawl around one year old.Standing and walking often begin at nine months of age.
(4) around the age of one year: the baby first develops from sitting to standing on his/her feet. When he/she is one year old, he/she can stand on one foot under the condition of supporting articles.Basically, babies can walk on their own around the age of one year and three months.
2. Don't force the baby to stand: parents should never force and train the baby to stand, which will bring unpredictable harm to the growth of the baby's spine, pelvis and limbs.Similarly, by the time the baby is about nine months old, parents can train him to ride a walker.But don't let your baby sit in the car in the same position for long.Make sure your baby doesn't spend more than 30 minutes in the car at a time, otherwise it will affect bone and muscle growth.
3. Pay attention to the training method: the concept of a baby wanting to stand up is different from that of his ability to stand up. Parents should first judge whether the baby can learn to stand and walk independently.Kicking your baby's own legs is just a normal full-body exercise and is the only way to grow.Even if the baby has developed the idea of wanting to stand up, parents should be careful not to train the baby immediately until he is nine months old, otherwise it will bring unpredictable harm to the growth of the baby's spine, pelvis and limbs.
Notes for the use of walkers
1. Don't use the baby walker too early: as mentioned above, parents should not let the baby learn to ride the baby walker before the baby reaches the age of 10 months.Riding a walker too early allows them to cross the crawling stage directly, contrary to the natural law of human growth and development.In this way, it is easy to suffer from physical imbalance, muscle coordination imbalance and other diseases, as well as sensory integration disorder, lack of flexibility, hyperactivity disorder and impulsiveness.Sometimes it can also cause octagon foot and foot bending deformity and other diseases.
2. Buy the walking car produced by regular manufacturers: the most suitable walking car for babies should have the characteristics of high fitness, stable parts and non-slip wheels.The general administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine of China has clearly stipulated in the safety requirements for baby walker.
(1) no protrusions: there shall be no clearly exposed opening pipe, speed regulator and any other protrusions that may endanger the baby's health.
(2) installation straddle: the crotch belt must be installed, and its width should be greater than 35 mm.
(3) off-ground part: apart from the caster wheel, the height of the other part must be more than 25 mm above the ground.
3. Carefully read the assembly and use method: parents should first read the instruction manual of the walker carefully, know how to assemble, use and maintain the baby, and make sure that the baby's height has reached the requirements of the walker.The time limit and other safety requirements for each ride should be met before the baby can take it.And check the parts regularly.
4. Parents should pay attention to nursing: when the baby is riding the walker, an adult must be there to guard it, so as to prevent the baby from improper operation and accidents.
5. It varies from person to person: not all babies are suitable for riding in a walker. Children with rickets, low body weight, mood swings, difficulty feeding, fear of life, crying, bad temper and hyperactivity disorder are not suitable for use.
6. Safe environment for toddlers: parents should create a safe space for their babies to practice. There should be no electrical appliances or sockets in this space.Parents should also remove objects with sharp edges and sharp spikes to prevent the ground from being too smooth or sloping.
Mistakes in the use of walkers
Avoid using baby walkers too early: babies who ride walkers too early are just as dangerous as those under 18, British scientists have found. Babies who ride walkers are more likely to cause accidents and injuries than those who use other baby products.The pedicab increases the baby's speed and height, as well as the risk factor.
2. Avoid leaving the baby alone in the walker: when the baby is riding in the walker, an adult must be there to guard it, so as to prevent the baby from improper operation and accidents.The baby's time in the walker isn't the safest, but it can be the most dangerous.Parents must not leave their babies behind.Some moms and dads always feel that it's safest to stay in a baby walker and not have to be followed, which is obviously not the right thing to do.Parents can encourage their babies to play on the floor without danger.
3. Clear guidelines for safe use: excessive use of walkers can delay the development of babies, and it is more dangerous to buy without reading the instructions.Some experts confirmed that the pedicab is suitable for babies aged nine months or more, and that parents should help their babies control the speed.Parents should read the instructions and follow the safety instructions when purchasing the walker.However, experts advise parents to let their babies play on the floor more often.
4. Avoid the danger caused by walkers: according to research, most of the accidental injuries caused by walkers are as follows:
(1) vehicle overturn: if the center of gravity of the walker is unstable, it will cause the baby to fall over and collapse sideways, so that the baby may fall downstairs and bump into other hard objects.
(2) scald: the baby sitting on the walker has the opportunity to catch some items that are not available at ordinary times, such as candles, hot water cups, etc., and will be scalded.
