Don't forget those merry go rounds that you had to push on the playground. Ours was tilted, so you could try and go fast enough to fling people off.

I miss merry go rounds SO MUCH!

Questionable Stupid - This commenter makes an excellent point.

If the cousin doesn't want his son using the walker, that's fine, but she has the right to mull over and decide whether her child should use one (sparingly) or not.

Comment twins!

I'd agree with that point, that something of use should not be banned just because some idiots are able to use it in a way that is unsafe. But even having raised a kid well past toddlerhood myself, I've yet to figure out what positive use a walker is supposed to have. Even if it wasn't the cause of ridiculously high numbers of deaths, why on earth do you want to increase the very clumsy range of motion of an infant? How does this help the kid *or* the parent?

My father used to say they (walkers) made it harder to trip over us.

:D

I like the 1 month "AFTER" emphasis to place some type of irrational fear into the parent.

OH NOEZ MY BABY WALKED AT 13 MONTHS INSTEAD OF 12!!!

OH NOEZ, MY BABY LEARNED BAD HABITS THAT TAKE YEARS TO CORRECT AND CAN CAUSE LONG TERM PROBLEMS WITH BACK PAIN AND DIFFICULTY READING!

LOLZ I agreed with the person who wrote the long rant about using them in moderation. I don't have kids, nor do I plan on having them any time soon, but if I were to have them I don't see a problem with using a walker on ocassion for some play time.

Plus, I'm Canadian anyway, and they're illegal here, so I probably won't ever have one.
