Causes of Baby Walker Falls
When baby walkers are poorly designed or manufactured, they pose a number of threats to their young users. Walkers have the potential to put kids at serious risk by falling down steps, tipping over, or failing to adequately restrain their occupants. Common hazardous design and manufacturing errors include the following:
- Inadequate stop latches
- Unstable overall design
- Poor or defective child restraints
Baby walker falls became so prominent by 1997 that the US Consumer Product Safety Commission mandated that all walkers manufactured after June 30, 1997 must be wide enough so that they do not fit through standard doorways and must have built-in gripping mechanisms that prevent stair falls.
