I Want A Baby Walker
Did you know baby walkers don’t help toddlers learn how to walk? Scientific research shows baby walkers distribute all the weight off the legs. For most parents, they could care less since it’s a way for baby to get around and they do seem to enjoy it. For designer Wilson Song, that wasn’t good enough. He created the Jump Baby walker that has an elastic ring to support baby in both seated and upright positions.The bouncing motion gets baby used to those two limbs beneath the bum. Baby will be walking in no time. Too bad they don’t make baby walkers for adults. Well they kinda do but adult walkers don’t look as fun.

Love the idea…..
“made with elastic stuff?”
do some research. this is just a concept, not a study. ten minutes of anthropometric research would make a real and valuable product.
Walkers are one of the most dangerous pieces of baby gear out there. Not only do they not promote walking, babies can also fall down stairs while playing in a walker. While it may be “fun” for a baby to be able to get around on his/her own, I for one will never ever own a walker and discourage all of my friends and family from using them.
The concept above is very nice and aesthetic ; I’d like to see whether a child really walk in it, or just “push” the walker. I’d like to have one for the next baby, coming soon !!!
By the way campaigns against baby walkers are not based on scientific studies, but on fear about dangers ; the dangers are not due to the baby walkers but to the lack of imagination of some parents. Then it is easier to blame an object than to assume a full responsability, Parents who used a baby walker without adding a door before the stairs or let dangerous products within hands reach didn’t care enough ; and anyway, the risk is never = 0, ever, in a life. Generations of children walked after some time in baby walkers, as the 14 children in my own family did. THAT is a scientific (and limited) experience ; they all walked early enough and never suffered of any trauma. Now, what could be discussed is the type of baby walker we should use: a light rolling structure with a kind of short pants lets the child able to really walk, rest whenever it’s needed, and jump ; so the baby reinforce the leg muscles.
baby walkers are only dangerous is parents are negligent. Babies can only fall down stairs if there is no baby-proofing and if no one is minding them.
Where can I find one of these…it looks more like art than any traditional baby gear, and it looks really fun…Seriously, I must have one of these!!!
I live in Manhattan and was wondering where I can buy the Jump Baby walker in NYC. I LOVE the idea and the design!, it’s beautiful
Thank you
I love this concept. I was hoping to find one available for purchase.
The comment on baby walkers and how unsafe they are begs for me to comment in return. Even though someone was very eloquent and has already.. I still must. I live in a one story rancher home. I think walkers are wonderful. The only down side to a walker is, my kid hits my furniture. If she’s happy, I say bang away.
