Additionally, as with all baby gear, it’s your responsibility to make sure the walkers are being used safely, and babies shouldn’t be left alone. Safe & Durable Design】Kids' safety is our primary pursuit. Designed with speed adjustable rear wheels and 6 rubber feet. You can easily control the walker speed by tighten or loose the screw on the rear wheels. And the 6 rubber feet enhance safety, when baby reaches stairs or uneven flooring, the rubber feet brakes would stop the walker . Baby walkers are much more mobile – they have wheels so tots can use their teeny tiny legs to scoot along the floor. They’re the perfect toy for babes who can’t walk yet without the help of mummy and daddy. We’ve thought about safety too and that’s why many of our baby walkers have stoppers which let you fix the frame in place when needed.

Seated walker: these take up the most space and often double up as play stations, with buttons, lights and noises to entertain your baby. The Red Kite is currently increasing across many parts of the UK following the successful reintroduction programme and therefore no specific conservation actions are currently required in many areas. However, illegal persecution still occurs in some areas where it is believed to have slowed the recovery of this species, and hence measures to reduce this in these areas may be required to ensure the success of the reintroduction programme continues ( Smart et al. 2010).

What is your favourite bird of prey and why?

Stationary baby entertainers are suitable from when little ones can sit up unaided. They keep babies in one spot, making them ideal for those times when you have your hands full and need those all-important extra few minutes. Your bub will be overjoyed to have entertainment surrounding them, and you can easily keep an eye on them knowing they can’t crawl off and nosey around. When your baby makes the transition from crawling to “cruising” with the help of furniture and walls, it can be fun to give them a taste of freedom with a baby walker or seated walker. There are plenty to choose from, whether you’re looking for a tasteful retro wooden push-along or a bells-and-whistles activity centre.

Don’t leave them in the baby walker too long. It’s a fun way to encourage your baby to walk, but it won’t actually help the process. They’ll have to do that by themselves, using furniture to help. So make sure they spend most of their time on the floor in a hazard-free zone – preferably barefoot – and keep baby walker time as an occasional 20-minute treat. Trailer: this simple, classic design is useful beyond the transition into walking because it can double up as a toy carrier for when your two-year-old becomes obsessed with transportation.Walking frame: this resembles a colourful Zimmer frame and, like the seated kind, often doubles as a play station with multi-sensory distractions. It can be useful before the walking stage from around six months, when babies start to sit up independently and can play with the buttons and spinners. Despite this, you’ll find them for sale in almost every baby store in the country, and they have been certified safe by the European Committee for Standardisation. This standard was amended in 2005 (look for BS EN 1273:2005 when buying a seated walker) to make baby walkers safe, and manufacturers are now obliged to make the baby gear move more slowly. They’ve also added safety features to protect babies from steps and trapping their hands or limbs. The best baby walkers to use on carpet are the Zimmer frame-style models, but they don’t offer the support or safety that enclosed seated walkers do. Illegal killing is continuing and in northern Scotland the use of poisoned baits deliberately to kill raptors has severely limited the growth of the Red Kite population ( Smart et al. 2010, Sansom et al. 2016). Poisoning also still occurs in England and may have slowed the rate of expansion in some areas ( Molenaar et al. 2017). Nevertheless, the species was moved to the green list in the UK in 2015 ( Eaton et al. 2015). Probably the most fought-over toy at your local playgroup, you’ll recognise this baby activity walker – although you may not have realised its full potential until you see it loaded with batteries and with the toys attached.
