As Injuries Continue, Doctors Renew Call For Ban On Infant Walkers

Skull fractures, concussions and broken bones are common injuries when children not yet able to walk use infant walkers and fall down stairs.

Despite improved safety standards over the years, more than 230,000 children under 15 months old were treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries related to infant walkers from 1990 through 2014.
