i have an idea for a childs walker who do i contact?

Answer 1

Try some walker companies to see if they'll use your suggestion. If you want to make your own and a profit, you'll need to get a business loan to cover start up expenses. Good luck!

Answer 2

I don't know what company you should contact but walkers only become dangerous when irresponsible parents don't have stairs effectively blocked off (safety gates aren't always effective as a door), don't look around to see what hazardous objects that the kid could reach and knock down on himself and don't realize that the kid is getting too tall for the walker. If the baby hips or upper thighs are level with the walker tray then he's too tall for the walker increasing the chances of the walker tipping over.

Walkers, like all other baby products (e.g. exersaucer, baby jumper) should not be overused. Crawling is best for overall gross motor development. That's the best type of exercise for an older infant. If the walker is overused the child's walking skills could be delayed by a few weeks.

Hardwood floors make it possible for walkers to move very fast. Restrict the area (floor space) that they're using if you have a hardwood floor.

Quit blaming the walker when it's the parents that aren't using common sense and watching out for their baby.

Most walker injuries occur when baby flies down the stairs. How many staircases are in the house that a parent can't keep their baby away from it? Babies have had injuries using other baby products as well but accidents involving stairs put the walker at #1 "dangerous" baby product.

If you have common sense then these safety precautions come naturally. You'll instinctively know what to look out for. If you don't have that much common sense then don't buy one. Your kid will likely end up with some other preventable accident anyway. Fortunately, the vast majority of babies in walkers don't end up with injuries.

Answer 3

There are numerous incidents of injuries from walkers, ranging from falling out of the walker to falling downstairs in a walker. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly discourages walker use.

While walkers do exercise the leg and hip muscles (the muscles of the pelvic girdle), they retard exercise of muscles of the arms and chest, (the muscles of the pectoral girdle) at a time in development where the latter is more important.

Answer 4

Nobody. Walkers are dangerous, do nothing to help kids walk, and can cause hip problems.

Answer 5

I would search inventions websites but keep in mind, its very expensive if your idea isn't already patented, and it's a long process.

One invention company my husband and I have used is The Davidson Company.

Good Luck!
