More injuries and hospitalizations are caused by walkers than all other children's products. Safety standards for walkers are more rigid now than ever. In 1992 there were over 25,000 emergency room visits caused by walker accidents; by 2003 the number of emergency room visits dropped by almost 90%, to just over 3,000. Although the number of injuries has decreased greatly, the figures are still quite high, and the list of potential injuries caused to children is frightening.
Consumer protection laws now require walkers to be built too large to fit through average size doorways or to have a built in apparatus that stops the walker at the edge of stairs. A parent's job is to provide supervision; the manufacturer's is to create a product that the child can maneuver themselves in safely.
