are walkers safe to use   

These are a few things to keep in mind before opting for a walker for your child: Walkers are banned in some developed countries. The major problem with walkers is when the child falls from stairs using a walker. This can cause serious injuries on the head and neck which in turn can lead to long term complications. Apart from stairs, sometimes their fingers get caught in the walkers which result in serious problems like cuts on fingers and toes. At times children even fall from the walker into the pool or a bathtub. Ideally, Walkers should be avoided unless they are used under the strict supervision of adults.
