Specifications, side by side

| Specification | Summer Infant Deluxe Baby Bather Reclining Bath Seat | Fisher-Price Learn to Walk Zebra Baby Walker |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹2,199 | ₹2,999 |
| Age grading | Birth to about 6 months, or until the child can sit unaided | Manufacturer states from when a child can sit unaided to about 12 months |
| Safety | 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 | 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 | 900 g | 4.5 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| 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 |
| Fabric | Removable, machine washable mesh | not published |
| Frame | Folds flat for storage | not published |
| 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 |
| Non-slip | Feet grip a tub base, not a wet tiled floor | not published |
| Positions | Three recline settings | 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 |
| The critical point | 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 | not published |
| Weight limit | About 9 kg, or when the child can sit up unaided | 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 |
