When babies are using a walker, the core principles of parental supervision are “keeping your eyes on them at all times, proactively identifying and mitigating risks, and promptly intervening in any abnormalities.” Specifically, this can be divided into three stages: pre-use preparation, ongoing supervision during use, and handling emergency situations—ensuring your baby’s safety.

　　I. Before Use: Conduct Risk Assessment in Advance

　　1. Site Safety Inspection

　　Clear a flat, hard surface free of obstacles (such as living room tiles or wood flooring), and remove hazardous items like sharp furniture, power strips, kettles, knives, and fragile objects.

　　Seal off stairwell entrances and balcony edges, and install safety railings; apply anti-collision strips to the edges and corners of furniture to prevent bumps and bruises.

　　Confirm that there is no standing water or oil stains on the floor. Do not use carpets or areas near thresholds to prevent the walker from getting stuck or tipping over.

　　2. Self-check for walker safety

　　Check whether the wheel dampers are functioning properly (to prevent excessive sliding speed), whether the frame joints are secure, and whether the seat belt is in good condition.

　　Adjust the seat height to ensure that your baby’s entire soles of the feet are flat on the ground and their knees are naturally bent—eliminating any situation where the baby is standing on tiptoes or with their feet dangling.

　　Confirm that the walker has no sharp burrs or small parts that could easily come loose, to prevent the baby from chewing on them or accidentally swallowing them.

　　II. In Use: Never leave the patient’s side; continuous dynamic monitoring throughout the entire process.

　　1. Keep your eyes on the baby at all times.

　　Parents must closely supervise their baby within a 1-meter radius, refraining from using mobile phones, doing housework, or engaging in lengthy conversations with others. They should constantly pay attention to the baby’s movements and condition.

　　Do not push the walker forcefully to make the baby glide; instead, let the baby propel themselves by kicking the ground to move independently, and avoid letting the speed get too high and become uncontrollable.

　　2. Promptly intervene in abnormal situations.

　　If your baby starts crying, leans forward, stands on tiptoes, or tries to break free from the walker, immediately take the baby out of the walker and check whether they’re uncomfortable or in an improper position.

　　If you notice your baby reaching out to grab dangerous objects (such as a cup on the table or an electrical outlet), immediately step in to stop them and remove the object.

　　Control usage duration: No single session should exceed 10 minutes, and the total daily usage should not exceed 20 minutes, to prevent the baby from becoming fatigued or developing poor gait patterns.

　　3. Standardize the baby’s usage posture

　　Make sure your baby is sitting upright with their back firmly against the seat, and that the seat belt is securely fastened (the tightness should allow you to fit one finger between the belt and your baby’s body) to prevent any shifting or slipping.

　　Do not allow your baby to stand, kneel, or lean their body outside the frame of the walker, as this could cause the walker to tip over due to loss of balance.

　　III. Emergency Situations: Handle Them Quickly and Correctly

　　1. If the walker tips over or gets stuck: Immediately support the walker’s body, gently lift the baby out, check for any bumps or scrapes, and comfort the baby’s emotions.

　　2. If the baby’s fingers or clothing become entangled: First, stop the walker from moving, then carefully untangle the entanglement, avoiding any forceful pulling that could cause secondary injury.

　　3. If your baby experiences vomiting or paleness, immediately stop using the walker, lay your baby down flat to rest, and closely monitor the symptoms. Seek medical attention promptly if necessary.

　　IV. Additional Reminder

　　Don't use a walker as a “temporary babysitter,” and certainly don't leave your baby unattended inside the walker.

　　If you’re using a walker without a seat, you’ll need to closely supervise your baby to prevent the walker from bumping into walls or furniture, and also to avoid the baby falling over if they let go of the handle.
