| Weight | 200 g | 4.5 kg |

| Height settings | not published | 3 |
| If used at all | not published | Only on one level with no stair access, for short supervised periods, and never near a kitchen or bathroom |

| Size | 76 x 76 cm | not published |
| Washing | Machine washable, softens with use | not published |
| Weave | Knit, which has stretch and is why it swaddles well | not published |
| What GOTS covers | Both the growing and the processing, including which dyes may be used -- it is a supply chain standard, not just a fibre claim | not published |
| Why the injuries happen | not published | A walker moves a child faster than an adult can react, and the commonest serious injury is a fall down stairs while in the walker |
