| Age grading | Manufacturer states from when a child can sit unaided to about 12 months | Not applicable |
| 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 | Cord strangulation is the recognised hazard with baby monitors. The camera and any cable must be at least 1 metre from the cot |
| Weight | 4.5 kg | 450 g |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Cord safety | not published | Camera and cable at least 1 metre from the cot. Cord strangulation is the recognised monitor hazard and has caused deaths |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Interchangeable lens | not published | Yes, wide angle and zoom sold separately |
| Range | not published | About 210 metres line of sight |
| 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 |
| Safer alternatives | A stationary activity centre or a push-along walker, neither of which moves the child | not published |
| Screen | not published | 5 inch, with about 12 hours of battery in audio-only mode |
| Trade-off | not published | No remote viewing from outside the home, which is exactly the property that makes it secure |
| Transmission | not published | FHSS 2.4 GHz, not Wi-Fi. It does not connect to the internet at all |
| Why that matters | not published | Wi-Fi baby monitors have been remotely accessed by strangers in documented cases. An FHSS monitor has no internet path, so it cannot be reached from outside the house |
| 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 |
