What is the difference between a jumper and a walker?
Jumpers are stationary activity centers. The child can move slightly from side to side and up and down, but she’s not actually mobile. And yet, she gets great exercise and other sensory stimulation from the experience. A baby walker actually allows the child to move from one end of the room to the other while seated. It’s the adult equivalent of a rolling, spinning desk chair. Baby walkers are not as common as they once were due to safety concerns.
