    • 1

      Ensure that the infant walker is in good condition by inspecting it for loose or broken parts.

    • 2

      Avoid letting babies use walkers on the upper levels of homes, as falling down steps is a common occurrence when infant walkers are being utilized.

      Remove dangling cords from the area where infant walkers are being used. This reduces the risks of babies pulling items such as lamps and appliances down, resulting in head injuries.

      Use child safety gates to confine babies to one area. This minimizes the chances of infants wandering out of sight; getting into things they shouldn't.

    • 5

      Babies should never be allowed to use walkers in kitchen areas--especially when ovens are in use.

    • 6

      Provide proper supervision. Parents should avoid distractions like watching television, reading, or engaging in phone conversations while babies are in walkers.
