Baby Walkers

Baby walkers help to encourage your little one to be mobile. You can begin using certain baby walkers as early as six months. Traditional baby walkers have a seat that is surrounded by a plastic tray. The whole thing is attached to wheels. You baby then uses his/her feet to move the walker around. This allows your baby to be mobile before he/she is strong enough to support his/her body walking unaided. New baby walkers also now come with special friction safety strips that help to slow down or even stop a baby walker when it comes to uneven ground or stairs. However, you should not only rely on this added safety feature. Babies can be seriously injured or killed if they fall down the stairs in their baby walker (or if they just fall down the stairs). Be sure to add safety features to your home if you put your baby in a baby walker. Gate stairways and any rooms which are not safe for your baby to walk around in. If you are in the market for this kind of walker you might want to consider the Chicco DJ Walker.
If used safely and correctly, baby walkers can be a great solution for parents looking to keep their baby entertained while at the same time freeing themselves for other activities. Many walkers also come with music, toys and play bars that will further entertain your baby, even when your baby is not in motion. Check out the various reviews for the different baby walkers on the market today.

ExerSaucers

If you want some of the great features of a traditional walker without worrying about your baby being mobile, consider buying an ExerSaucer for your baby. ExerSaucers look like traditional baby walkers with the seat surrounded by a tray filled with lots of fun toys, except it is not on wheels. Your baby can turn round and round in his seat but he can't move from his spot. While this won't help your baby develop mobility, it does give many parents peace of mind and does provide a fun and entertaining activity for their little one.

Jumpers

Jumpers can be a fun way to help keep baby mobile and entertained without allowing baby to move from place to place. Some jumpers are special swing seats that hang from standard doorway frames. Babies then jump up and down in the seat using their feet to propel them off the ground. Most jumpers also come with activity trays and/or toys bars that further keep your little one entertained. Some also come with music. Other jumpers resemble traditional walkers or ExerSaucers but have the added feature that allows baby to jump up and down in his seat.
Jumpers are a great way to keep your baby entertained, to develop the reflexes needed for walking, and to provide a safe way to keep your baby active and mobile, without having to worry about where in the house they have wandered off to. One great option on the market today is the Fisher Price Rain Forest Jumparoo. Find out more about what other parents have to say about baby jumpers and decide if they are right for your baby.
