On the other hand, in walkers the child sits, so, does not put all foot on a firm surface of a floor, touching only it by toes. Such situation will not allow a foot to be formed correctly, and it will slow down further training of the kid in walking. Movement in walkers is carried out at the expense of a case inclination forward that contradicts the main principle of walking - to balance.
