I have a new piece of eye candy! And no, it isn't a man, it is a baby walker! It's a harness made to help babies learn to walk without having to have their hands held and I have been wanting it. With this walker, parents can support and hold their kid's without giving them the wrong balance and putting the all that stress on the arms.
It is called Walking Wings and it looks heavenly. It has a padded harness that goes around your kids chest. There are straps and handles in the back that the parent holds to help keep the kid up and balanced. It is great because you don't have to bend over anymore to help walk your baby; plus it is better on their little arms. I know I have almost hurt our sweet Lucy by holding her arms, especially when she looses her balance.The Walking Wings aren't suppose to make your child walk completely correct, but to help your child walk more naturally and safely. The risk of arms being pulled out of their socket is slim to none when using the harness. Plus, I think it looks dang cute with your kid walking and waddling their cute way around.
These Walking Wings seem to be intended for all children, but they especially seem to help children who have no interest in walking, having a hard time with walking, preemie babies with difficulties, and even with some that have physical therapy needs. So, if your child is physically having a more difficult time with taking step, this might be an option.
So check out their website that has all their information on the Walking Wings and see for your self.
That looks great. HOWEVER, keep them on their butt as long as possible. Once they walk it's a whole new ballgame. I just keep moving things higher and higher out of reach. No hurry. Both of mine walked at 11 months, because God is mean like that.
ReplyDeletewow that is such a good idea!! where was this when my kids started walking!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen or heard of one of these. It looks GREAT!
ReplyDelete♡ Very nice! I'm with janet I never wanted mine to walk too soon! Then they just get into more stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteyea, I am super excited for her to walk and crawl, but then I realized how our whole house is going to have to raise about 2 feet up! :)
ReplyDeleteBut still I am getting so excited. I just keep picturing her outside in the yard playing and walking around with me. It will be so fun:)
oh walking!! honey i am just not ready!!
ReplyDeletebut when i am i promise to check this out. bc pulling out beans arms from their sockets doesn't sound like to much fun!!
I feel agrieved! You can't miss out that vital part of parenting - the breaking back. Why oh why wasn't that around when my two children were making me bend in half to move around?
ReplyDeleteIn fact, if they do one in adult size it could come in handy for hubby - he's having a hard time handling his drink at the moment . . .
Wow what will they come up with next? Makes me wanna have another baby! :) lol
ReplyDeletewow. Something new. It does sound like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea. Do they have one to help in learning to ride a bike? Just checking cause you know that can't be far behind.
ReplyDeleteWow that's so clever! Especially helpful for people as tall as you, I'm sure! :)
ReplyDeleteWhy don't I come up w/ this stuff??
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I Just bought those SAME walking wings today! I can't wait to try them out with Sumo tomorrow . . he weighs 30 lbs so holding his hands to help him walk? I always feel like I'm ripping his arms out of the socket.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've heard of those! But I'm with Janet: having them mobile is not as wonderful as it is cracked up to be. Eli figured out how to really crawl this week (while Jim was gone! ;( ) and and suddenly I have to watch him EVERY SECOND. Addy was never into everything the way he already is. Such a boy!
ReplyDeleteI saw those recently. I was totally bummed they weren't available when my daughter was younger. Then again, I wish she had not been so mobile so soon! There's no turning back ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, walking wings. That's really bizarre. The things they come up with these days!! lol
ReplyDeleteMy sil bought one of these (or something similar) they like it because my nephew is so heavy, it is easier on their backs.
ReplyDeleteDUDE...I wish I had those... five years ago.. Would have saved $$$ on my doc bills!
ReplyDeleteI am going to look into these for the near future. I think I have seen them in a few stores. My little girl just jumps when i try "walking" with her. Do they make ones that help them learn to crawl?? Kidding. But not really. My girl has made no attempt at crawling yet. Always something to worry about as a mom!
ReplyDeletei'm with janet. keep her down as long as possible. as soon as they start walking you can't stop them or keep up with them! your life will never be the same!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty sweet deal! I wish they'd had those when my kiddos were little.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd known about those when my kids were learing to walk!
ReplyDeleteVery neat. I like that I wouldn't have to bend over as much. Though I would worry about the baby tipping to the side. =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea!!!
ReplyDeleteHey that's cool - a real back saver. I'm fine with Wyatt delaying his walking though, he's wild enough on hands and knees.
ReplyDeleteI SOOO need this! My girls are kind of late walkers and don't walk until about 17 1/2 months of age! So my daughter is 16 months right now and this would be perfect!
