| Specification | Fisher-Price Learn to Walk Zebra Baby Walker | Burt's Bees Baby Organic Cotton Knit Receiving Blanket |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹2,999 | ₹1,999 |
| Age grading | Manufacturer states from when a child can sit unaided to about 12 months | Newborn and up |
| Safety | Baby walkers were banned from sale in Canada in 2004 and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called for a ban. Read the verdict before buying | Loose blankets should not be in a sleeping infant's cot. Safe sleep guidance is a bare cot for the first 12 months |
| Weight | 4.5 kg | 200 g |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Does it help walking | No. The evidence indicates walkers do not accelerate independent walking and may slightly delay it, because the child pushes with toes rather than using the muscles walking requires | not published |
| Fabric | not published | 100 percent GOTS certified organic cotton knit |
| Height settings | 3 | not published |
| If used at all | Only on one level with no stair access, for short supervised periods, and never near a kitchen or bathroom | not published |
| Regulatory position | Canada prohibited the sale, import and advertising of baby walkers in 2004. The AAP has recommended a ban in the US. They remain legal in India | not published |
| Safe sleep | not published | Every major paediatric body advises no loose blankets, bumpers or soft items in a cot for the first year. A receiving blanket is for swaddling awake, carrying and covering a pram, not for sleeping under |
| Safer alternatives | A stationary activity centre or a push-along walker, neither of which moves the child | not published |
| Size | not published | 76 x 76 cm |
| Washing | not published | Machine washable, softens with use |
| Weave | not published | Knit, which has stretch and is why it swaddles well |
| What GOTS covers | not published | Both the growing and the processing, including which dyes may be used -- it is a supply chain standard, not just a fibre claim |
| Why the injuries happen | 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 | not published |
