The second type of a design is intended for children of more advanced age and represents the leading support – it can be, for example, the small cart or the machine with the handle. To children who are already able to stand, but badly keep balance at movement, it is better to use such walkers.
Walkers can be folding and inconsistent. It is considered to be steadier inconsistent option, but it only seems. Stability depends on other criteria more – for example, on the area of the basis, on model height. Folding walkers according to safety requirements do not concede to inconsistent. It is necessary to track only that they had rather rigid fixers by means of which it is possible to fix well a design to keep the child's weight at run and walking. Designs differ by quantity of wheels. At what the blocker of the movement is available are considered as the best. The child is not able to be steadily at one place yet, for example, considering something, and blocking can help it with it. Floating wheels help to increase maneuverability, the child does not feel when walking resistance of a design. The seat of walkers can be on soft or on a rigid framework. It is good if its top level reaches a breast of the kid. The back surely has to be rigid. Walkers can differ also on extent of equipping.
