TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Infant walkers: Developmental tool or inherent danger JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Ridenour, M. V. SP - 1201 EP - 1201 VL - 55 IS - 3 N2 - The influence of prewalking practice in an infant walker on the onset time of independent walking was investigated. 15 pairs of twins were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Children in the experimental group spent a minimum of 1 hr/day in an infant walker from 4 mo of age until the onset of bipedal locomotion. Children in the control group were not placed in infant walkers. One-way ANOVA indicated there was no significant difference between the mean ages of initial walking for the experimental and control groups.
