Don't get too excited - this babywalker is just a concept. But hey, some concept. At the very least maybe it will inspire "the industry" to reimagine the walker or, dare to dream, the exersaucer.

That is a very cool design and I would love to see (all) exersaucer-type products redesigned.

But baby walkers are just plain dangerous and it has been proven repeatedly that they are more likely to delay walking than encourage walking. The Academy of Pediatrics recommends that they be banned.

They are already banned -- in Canada. Have been for many years. Too many babies have died as a result of walkers.

While I completely agree that excercaucers need a serious redesign... Walkers are completely dangerous no matter how good they look.

and yes - they have been banned in Canada. with good reason.

at least this is only a concept.

I still would not buy it as baby walkers are very dangerous .I actually took a tumble down a flight of stairs in one as a baby. Also, they have been shown to delay walking. Neat looking or not, a walker is not necessary.
