The Juppy: Helping Your Baby To Walk
Hello, Juppy!
As I was walking into the Y last week for my early morning work out, my friend, Anne, had a crowd of other young mothers surrounding her as she showed off her recently purchased “helping baby to walk” device. I went over to see what the excitement was about, and was really amazed at this ingenious little aid.
The Juppy (sorta cute name) is a little adjustable jump seat-like training walker. It really is hard to explain. The baby’s seat is gender neutral, the fabric is machine washable, and it looks like Sammy was just dropped into a well fitting pair of overalls. The straps of the overalls would be the adjustable harness for her mother. Anne had placed her little Sammy in it, zipped up the padded front, and had adjusted the harness portion to fit her and was walking behind him into the gym.
Walking With your Baby
Sammy is almost a year old, and has been threatening to walk for about three weeks. Anne tried to find a traditional walker that she used for her daughter, but they’re out of vogue largely because the pediatricians (I’m told) no longer recommend walkers with wheels. So, Anne was killing her back bending over to try to help Sammy learn to walk. By the end of the day, she said she was always in agony. She saw an As Seen On TV commercial advertising the Juppy, and called her pediatrician to see if it was alright to try. As long as she started out slowly so Sammy could feel his balance, he said to go right ahead, and so she ordered. Anne said the Juppy is the best $28 she’s ever spent! When she got it, she adjusted the straps so she was upright, put Sammy in the Juppy, and off they went!
Anne said that it took just a few minutes for them both to get acquainted with how it was going to work. For Anne, not bending over holding on to Sammy’s hands or arms instantly relieved the stress on her back. And, it allowed Sammy to hold his arms in a normal walking position without feeling any upward pulling. She said he’s comfortable walking between objects at home, but when she pulls out The Juppy, he gets really excited because he knows he’s in for a walking adventure. My back and I wish the Juppy was around when my kids were learning to walk, that’s for sure!
