    Default Leapfrog Learn & Groove????

    Could you tell me if I'm minding if I can use this?
    I know the walkers [with wheels] you are not allowed to use
    for safety and i'm wondering if this is the same??

    I remember taking Poppy to the health visitor for one of her checkups
    and she asked me if I was using anythign like that to help her stand
    and I told her I had the learn & groove and she didn't like it and
    advised I should stop?

    So I have one here boxed and wondering if I can use it or if it's best
    I should just sell it? [I'm not having any more babies]


    God I can talk sorry

    I've got the hopper popper, not used it for a mindee yet but as it isn't a walker I thought it was ok.

    The ICP tutor says that we can't use them for safety reasons. The chld could get hold of something and tip the walker over, or while walking if there is something on the floor the walker could roll over it and tip the walker up. all safety stuff rreally

    I thought that we could use them (walkers) if we wanted to and if the parents agreed but should be aware of the possible dangers and keep a close eye.

    I didn't think that we weren't actually allowed to use them?

    I have the learn and groove for my daughter and I would use it if I ever have a small enough mindee. they are amazing, it has built her legs up no end. she is really sturdy on them. She doesnt have a walker, to be honest I think most of what health visitors say is personal opinion, but that is just me

    I have one of those...my mindee spent some time in it during my inspection & it wasn't a problem...as long as there not left in there the whole day...they're fine...walkers are what we're not meant to use.

    I have one that my ds used. He loved it. I wouldn't have any problem with a mindee spending a short time in one
