Juppy Baby Walker: for babies learning to walk
The Juppy® Baby Walker arrived at the perfect time. My son is in that 'can crawl but prefers standing up' stage where he doesn’t yet have complete control over his balance but enjoys making steps towards walking when assisted. But, as every parent knows, those early days of learning to walk can wreak havoc on your back. All that leaning over to provide hand held support of your little one leaves you searching for the heating pad.
The Juppy is made of durable, machine washable fabric that is gender neutral. It is comfortable for both baby and parent to use and is easily transportable because it folds into a very small and convenient package. It can be tucked in your purse or diaper bag with ease meaning it can be used virtually anywhere you go – the park, the beach, on your lawn or in your hallways.
You simply place your child in the walker much like putting them into a pair of pants in that their legs go through two leg openings. The zipper is then used to secure the child within the one size walker. Two long adjustable straps act as the handles for the device allowing you to provide upright support to your little walker.
Your child feels a sense of security in knowing they will not fall down because you are continuously providing the necessary support of their body weight when required, allowing them the freedom to cruise along if they are so inclined. Your child feels a sense of confidence in exploring the new world of walking and you feel confident that they are receiving the support they need in order to prevent physical mishaps.
My son loves using the Juppy and it is amazing to see the difference between how quickly and confidently he walks when in the Juppy versus holding onto my hands while trying to walk. He can concentrate on moving his feet instead of simultaneously remembering to hold on tightly to my hands as well as move his feet.
If I were to make one suggestion for improvement for the Juppy it would be in providing softer or better padded straps for the walker. I found that the straps caused some discomfort in my hands after supporting the weight of my son for extended periods of time. Perhaps a padded grip that could easily slide along the length of the strap so it’s placement could be selected based on the user’s preference would alleviate this issue.
The bottom line is you can assist your little one in learning the skills necessary to become upright and mobile without sacrificing your posture or your pocket book. The Juppy Baby Walker is extremely affordable and would make a great shower gift.
