Walkers and jumpers: friends or enemies?

What do Chelyabinsk orthopedists think about them: pros and cons of popular devices. How not to harm the baby? Safety regulations

In the USSR, they were discontinued: it was found that they fix the wrong position of the feet and hip joints. In Canada, they were withdrawn from sale: they allegedly pose a serious danger to babies. But half a century later, they again conquer the world. Walkers and jumpers, bright, funny, so comfortable .... Friends or enemies to your baby?

The health and development of a baby directly depends on how much and variously he moves, and what emotions he experiences. Best of all - in the hands of my mother: you can turn your head, touch it with a pen, try it on the tooth . ... But, alas, mom needs her hands for a lot of other things. And it seems a good decision to buy a special device that will free both mother and entertain the child. So walkers appear in the house.

Baby walker - a device that allows the baby to move without parental assistance. This is a frame on wheels, inside of which a special “saddle” for the child is fixed. The child sits in this saddle and rides around the apartment, pushing off the floor with his feet.

— Walkers have their pluses and minuses, says Alexander Semyonov, traumatologist-orthopedist of ChDOKB. “Mostly, there are pluses for the mother: she has free hands, she rests from the baby. But for a child, there are still more disadvantages - putting in a walker affects the position of the leg, a child in a walker refuses to walk on his own, does not learn to crawl, he is already comfortable, the walkers support him. But from a medical point of view, this is wrong.
So, on the one hand, baby walkers open up a new world for the baby, transferring from a horizontal position to a vertical one, which, of course, has a positive effect on his intellectual and emotional development. Walkers satisfy the child's need for movement and at the same time do not allow reaching dangerous objects, protect against sharp corners and falls. But in these pluses, the minuses are also hidden: without learning how to fall correctly, the baby will not learn to group when falling, to protect his head from a blow. He does not learn caution either, because he does not feel pain when he hits a wall or a corner. In the future, these "failures" can lead to serious injuries. Walkers also have a negative effect on the function of the cerebellum: getting used to the support, the baby does not learn to balance. And when he then begins to walk on his own, he often collapses and falls. Finally, a prolonged load on fragile legs can lead to their deformation, and overstrain of the back muscles - a constant vertical position and the inability to change it on your own - to a curvature of the spine.

— When parents keep a baby in a walker for a long time, he starts walking on his toes, and this is the wrong position of the foot, - the expert notes. - Therefore, if parents want to put the baby in a walker, they need to remember that walkers can be used from 6 months, and by this time the child should sit up and hold his back on his own. The time that can be spent in a walker without harm to the health of the baby is on average up to 40-60 minutes a day. And of course, it is necessary to accustom a child to a walker gradually, starting from 3-5 minutes.
Don't lose sight of your baby in a walker. Walkers can get stuck in the doorway, and when moving from one floor to another, for example, from linoleum to carpet, the structure can roll over with the baby. And this is much more dangerous than if the child fell himself. By the way, the child is able to develop a decent speed in a walker: up to 10 km/h! Therefore, the choice of walkers must be taken very seriously.

Ideal walker has a wide, stable base and many wheels around the perimeter, a deep, wide seat with a soft inner bumper and a high rigid back. It is also possible to adjust the height of the seat according to the height of the child.

Jumpers are another popular device.

Baby jumpers - a special seat, similar to a kangaroo backpack, with a high chest, back and springy straps. Usually jumpers are hung in a doorway. The kid hangs, touching the floor with his feet, and pushing off with his legs, he can bounce a few centimeters.

— I have a more loyal attitude towards jumpers, — Alexander Semenov admits, — this device also unloads the mother, but at the same time there are pluses for the baby himself: jumpers stimulate coordination, the child in them can push off the floor, jump, turn, and while experiencing a lot of positive emotions.

So, jumpers develop leg muscles, stimulate the vestibular apparatus. It is not difficult to understand whether the baby has grown up to them. Place the child on a hard surface, hold under the armpits. If the baby begins to actively push off from this surface, bend and straighten the legs, and this usually happens at 4-5 months, then you can introduce jumpers and live for 15-20 minutes for your own pleasure. Claims to the jumpers are almost the same: violations of muscle tone, squeezing of the perineum with the wrong design. In addition, in jumpers, the child pushes off the floor with both legs at once, and then, starting to walk on his own, tries to do the same. And often falls.

When choosing jumpers, pay attention to the seat: it should be deep, ideally fix the child to the armpits, have a rigid orthopedic back. "Jumping" possibilities depend on the type of belts that are attached to the seat. The best option - the belts are connected to the spring, adjustable in length.

Despite all the disadvantages, both mom and baby like walkers and jumpers - this is an interesting new toy with which you can explore the world. The main thing is to keep the child in sight, observe safety precautions and keep track of time. But the main criterion for the duration of the use of walkers and jumpers should be the mood of the baby. If he is tired, capricious, then it's time to move on to other activities.

At what age should a walker be used?

Doctors' opinions are also divided.
Well, of course, and we also have our own opinion on this matter.
We are not doctors, but we are mothers ourselves, and we have been working with other parents for a long time, so we have formed a certain selection of opinions.

So, some doctors and some parents are sure that walkers are the worst evil for the musculoskeletal system. That muscles and bones are somehow not loaded in them, which subsequently leads to health problems. Is it so?

Let's talk about regular walkers and wheelchairs

healthy for the child and harms rather than brings at least some benefit.
But, friends, any thing should be used for its intended purpose.

Frequently asked question: At what age can a walker be used?
For children's products, as a rule, age limits are indicated, but the most important thing is not the numbers of your baby's age, but his skills.

Instructions for walkers often say “from 6 months”, assuming by this age the ability to roll over, pull up, sit.
But not all children who are 6 months old can do all this. And someone knows much earlier.

Therefore, for walkers in which the baby is put inside (not a wheelchair), the following rule applies:
The child should already be able to sit confidently.
Do not try to sit down, do not collapse when you do not hold him, sitting, but in all seriousness, sit like an adult.
He may be 4 months old or 8 - in this case, the figure is not important.

The ability to sit indicates that the child has already formed enough bone and muscle apparatus for a new type of exercise such as walking with support.
No, you won't ruin his spine, because if the baby is already sitting, then the spine and pelvis are ready for vertical loading.
No, you won't break his legs, because he doesn't lean on them with all the weight of his body.

But at the same time, the legs get freedom and can learn new movements. And it does so safely, because the baby does not fall, supported by a wide bumper and fabric seat.

He can't hit, he can't reach what he doesn't want to reach yet.
He cannot crawl or roll in an unknown direction and disappear from view.

In addition to the fact that he gets the freedom of movement and new sensations, the baby now opens up new horizons of visibility.

If before he only lay or sat still and looked around the limited space, now he rides all over the apartment, from a vertical position he opens up a much wider view.

And it still doesn't say anything about the fact that all walkers are also a great educational toy. Everyone has musical panels with toys that you can play on the go and during the “halt”.
The pads are removable, so when the baby walks up and is tired, but does not want to part with the toy, it can be removed and played separately.

Now about wheelchairs.
For them the same story on age restrictions. Usually the manufacturer writes "from 9 months."
And we'll talk about skills again.
The stretcher can be given to a child who can already stand confidently without support. At least a few seconds.

Often children who are ready to take their first steps do not dare to take them for a long time.
And this happens not because something is wrong with their health, but because they are just scared. And don't worry about support.

In general, walking with a wheelchair is no different from walking by the handles. Of course it's for the baby. But it's very different for mom!

We all know how the back hurts from endless walking in a bent position. By the way, doctors have practically no complaints about wheelchairs. Again, if you use them when you can already.

A wheelchair is also not just a walker that helps the baby to master the skill of walking. These are development centers that you can play with while sitting.
Some strollers are transformable, offering even more options for play.
Look after his condition: if he is tired, if he starts to collapse and lean on the bumper.
On average, it can be 10-15 minutes at a time and about 1 hour per day in total.

This is for a walker that you put your baby in.
For walkers, the range may be wider depending on how active and energetic your child is.
Because his skills allow him to walk for as long as he wants.

So what are the pros and cons of walkers?
Pluses: this is an aid in mastering new skills, a variety of games and sensations.
Cons: fears and doubts of parents.

First of all, you always decide what is good and what is bad for your child.
You listen to the many opinions of the surrounding competent and not very competent people and form your own - the most important, the most correct opinion.
Yes, yes, because in the variety of judgments one can easily get lost, but still never know the truth.
