That's because the walker can compress the hip joints of young children, leading to imbalances in their balance function, making them dependent on the walker, and even causing pressure on their genitals. It is recommended that parents allow their children to sit in the walker when they are exhausted from doing household chores, but the time should not exceed 10 minutes each time, and should not exceed 1 hour per day.
