|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹18,990 | ₹2,999 |
| Age grading | Not applicable | Manufacturer states from when a child can sit unaided to about 12 months |
| Safety | Cord strangulation is the recognised hazard with baby monitors. The camera and any cable must be at least 1 metre from the cot | 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 |
| Weight | 450 g | 4.5 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Cord safety | Camera and cable at least 1 metre from the cot. Cord strangulation is the recognised monitor hazard and has caused deaths | not published |
| Does it help walking | not published | 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 |
| 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 |
| Interchangeable lens | Yes, wide angle and zoom sold separately | not published |
| Range | About 210 metres line of sight | not published |
| Regulatory position | not published | 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 |
| Safer alternatives | not published | A stationary activity centre or a push-along walker, neither of which moves the child |
| Screen | 5 inch, with about 12 hours of battery in audio-only mode | not published |
| Trade-off | No remote viewing from outside the home, which is exactly the property that makes it secure | not published |
| Transmission | FHSS 2.4 GHz, not Wi-Fi. It does not connect to the internet at all | not published |
| Why that matters | 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 | 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 |
