Why can?t I buy a baby walker in Canada"
A baby in the house tends to mean a lot of gear?but a baby walker shouldn?t be part of your collection. Baby walkers have been banned in Canada since 2004, though some parents aren?t aware of the ban, or try to get around it by bringing a walker over the United States border. Here?s why baby walkers aren?t safe.
What are baby walkers"
Picture a plastic base with wheels on the bottom and a fabric seat suspended inside. You put your little one inside, and their legs go through the leg holes in the fabric seat so they can stand and walk themselves around independently. They are generally used for babies aged four to 15 months, when they can sit up but can?t yet walk on their own.
Why are baby walkers banned in Canada"
Health Canada banned baby walkers in 2004, and for 15 years before that, major retailers had agreed to respect a voluntary ban. Under the ban, you can?t buy a new or used baby walker in Canada, and people who already own one are advised to dismantle them and throw them out. If you sell, advertise or import a baby walker, you face a fine of up to $100,000. .related-article-block{display:inline-block;width:300px;padding:0.5rem;margin-left:0.5rem;float:right;border:1px solid #ccc}@media (max-width: 525px){.related-article-block{float:none;display:block;width:280px;margin:0 auto 2rem}}
