Due to the relatively high incidence of injuries associated with child walkers, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended a ban on the manufacture and sale of mobile infant walkers. Accidents associated with child walkers include: Rolling down stairs (the most common cause of injury) Burns - children can reach high in a walker, enabling them to grab hot pot handles, reach heaters and fireplaces, or grab a hot cup of liquid off a counter or table Drowning a child can fall into a bathtub or pool while in a mobile walker Poisoning the child can reach higher objects. Even if a parent is close by and watching a child in a walker, an accident may not be preventable. Children can move quickly and the parent or caregiver may not be able to respond quickly enough. Safer alternatives to mobile baby walkers include stationary walkers (no wheels) and play areas. If parents or caregivers insist on using a baby walker, they should be advised to choose one that meets the American Society for Testing and Materials safety standards. Walkers with braking mechanisms stop if at least one wheel drops off the riding surface.
(Option 1) This is an appropriate action; swimming pools should be surrounded by fences with childproof locks to prevent accidental drowning. Wading pools and all water containers should be emptied after each use.
(Option 2) This is an appropriate action; childproof gates should be installed on stairs and at the entrances to rooms that could pose danger to a child.
(Option 3) This is an appropriate action; as children grow taller and can stand, they may be able to crawl over the crib rails and fall.
