Why Should Baby Walkers Be Banned

Decent Essays
In Canada they banned baby walkers from everyone. I think baby walkers should not be banned because a parent can’t always help their kids to walk especially if they’re busy so they need extra help so that’s why most people use a baby walker. One of the reasons why they were banned is because kids get hurt in them, if kids get hurt by them then they’re probably over age, baby walkers should only be for kids from ages 4 m/o - 9 m/o because that’s the age that kids usually start walking.

In the article that I found it says kids should stick to walking. If kids stuck to walking they would be further behind then every other kid. I don’t think it’s necessary to fine someone $100,000 for having a baby walker. Banning them could make people want to move or protest against it, it can also cause stress on mothers and/or fathers because they would need to sit and help the baby walk everyday so it’ll stop them from doing other things like housework.

The article that I found made it seem like the walkers put children at risk when really the issue is parents not watching their kids in the walkers. When your baby starts walking on his/her own they’ll have some risks falling down the stairs or touching things they shouldn’t be touching. It’s just another way for their government to control them on something that they shouldn’t have control over. In

    I do agree with this to certain extent. This product was “simple” and “obvious” to adults but not to children. The company argued that the product was more affordable and the safety of the product was obvious enough to not add the extra safety features. I think that since the product could have been made safer for more money the company should have done that. Children get a hold of a lot of things that they shouldn’t, so if a product can be child safe it should be.…

    The argument that seat-belts can increase our safety, potentially save lives and therefore any wise individual should take precaution and buckle up is a valid one, but by making this a mandatory law, we are in essence opening the door for our government to further infringe upon our right to decide what we will or will not individually do to insure our personal well-being. Could government regulation of food consumption come next, with fines for those who overeat and put themselves at far greater risk for disease and heart attacks. This too could indeed save lives. We must be cognizant of the broader statements we make when we allow the passage of laws that open the door to cutting our personal liberties that were so valiantly fought for and…

    Obamacare was created to provide everyone with several types of adaptable health insurances. Obamacare, also known as ‘Affordable Care Act (ACA)’ has been around for years already and has been very successful.

    A parent best effort to get their child to play outside safely is either school or their parent taking them to the park or to practice, which is not always possible and school does not offer much in the form of physical activity just recess which is getting shorter and P.E. lack of physical activity is only a small but large problem in lower income areas, food insecurities is the major problem. Food insecurities mean certain areas do not have a certain type of foods or has limited production of the food, in this case, it would be fresh naturally grown foods this is part of the reason parents are not able to cook healthy food for their child, fresh food is very expensive and if you live in a lower income area it is most likely parents are not able to buy those foods. FRAC states "A study using national data from almost 6,500 children found that food insecurity was positively associated with overweight and obesity in those 12 to 19 years of age" (frac.2011 pg. 3) this article examined food insecure areas to show why this is such a problem teaching children at early stages about good nutrition will benefit them in the long run but if they cannot practice good nutrition they will ultimately have to suffer the consequences due to the fact of them being food insecure which is what FRAC is trying to explain in this quote "When available, healthy food is often more expensive, whereas refined grains, added sugars, and fats are generally inexpensive and readily available in low-income communities. Households with limited resources to buy enough food often try to stretch their food budgets by purchasing cheap, energy-dense foods that are filling that is, they try to…

    Some rules are age appropriate, as a parent would expect more from an older child than that of a young child. “…cooking hotdogs by myself at the age of three. It was easy I said…” (10). This would be the perfect example of an age appropriate rule, a three year old should not be making hot dogs, however a fourteen year old could. Yes, some parents do get too caught up in rules to really think about how it will affect the child in the long run.…

    Firstly, elderly people still have the need to drive. There are many places that need a car to get to, such as hospitals, grocery stores, and entertainment facilities. Most older people have to visit hospitals much more due to health issues that arise because of their age, but some elderly people might not have anybody they can depend on to drive them around. Banning elderly people from driving their own vehicles can deny them access to multiple different opportunities and necessities. In addition, some mental issues can also appear when older people aren’t able to drive anymore: "After years of advising others on how to get older drivers to relinquish the car keys, which often resulted in lost independence, isolation and depression (as well as family disputes)" (Brody).…

This does make one wonder as to what qualifies child labor and the specific cases and circumstances, which make it definable so. As more and more questions were raised, the legislation has been modified to include several exemptions and clauses governing conditions and possibilities of allowing children to work only in certain areas.…
