|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹2,999 | ₹2,199 |

| 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 | A bath support is not a safety device. Infant drowning happens in seconds and in very little water, and a supported baby must never be left alone even momentarily |
| Weight | 4.5 kg | 900 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 | Removable, machine washable mesh |
| Frame | not published | Folds flat for storage |
| Height settings | 3 | not published |

| Safer alternatives | A stationary activity centre or a push-along walker, neither of which moves the child | not published |
| The critical point | not published | Bath supports reduce how much you have to hold, not how much you have to watch. Drowning can occur in 2 cm of water in under a minute, silently |
| Weight limit | not published | About 9 kg, or when the child can sit up unaided |
| 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 |
