Mobility
A bouncer walker should be used only by babies between 4 and 16 months who cannot yet walk, according to Consumer Reports. When used for babies at this age, a bouncer walker provides the mobility these children do not yet have, allowing them to move and explore in ways they would otherwise be unable to do until they could walk. Some babies become frustrated by their limitations between 6 and 16 months of age, and a bouncer walker helps to give them the mobility they require without demanding an ability they do not yet have.
Exercise
A baby bouncer walker is a great way to get a baby moving and exercising. Babies need to build their muscles in order to learn to crawl, stand and walk, and providing a bouncer walker for a baby is one way to help him build his lower leg muscles. It is also a productive way for a baby to channel his energy, encouraging movement, exploration and discovery.
A Level of Safety
A baby bouncer walker can be a way to keep a baby from dangerous activities such as climbing stairs, opening cupboards or crawling on dirty or unsafe floors. A parent can give the baby a snack in the walker, let him play with toys or simply let him follow her as she accomplishes daily chores, knowing that the baby is safe from certain hazards. However, while a walker can be used as part of a child safety strategy, it is important to note that some things will still be accessible, and a baby should never be left unsupervised in a bouncer walker.
Entertainment
Most of the bouncer walkers manufactured today offer a number of attached toys for entertainment and stimulation. A baby using a bouncer walker can push buttons, spin balls, listen to music, beep horns and suck on teething toys, depending on the model he is using. These activities help him to explore textures, sounds and movement, and keep him happy and entertained while his caregivers rest or work nearby.
Versatility
There are several baby bouncer walkers that convert from walker to stationery bouncer to meet different age and location requirements. The benefit of this versatility is that it allows the bouncer walker to be used safely in different situations. For example, if you wanted to take the bouncer walker with you on vacation but knew you were going to be staying on the second floor of a rented house, you could convert the walker to a stationary bouncer and eliminate the risk of the baby accidentally falling down the stairs.
