Phoebe's baby walker has arrived. Having erected it (complete with a running commentry from Lauren on how to do it without instructions), I went to pick up the girls from the childminder.
Phoebe in the walker and absolutely loving it. She is lucky that we do not live in Canada. Canadians I admit must have some good sense, firstly by staying loyal to the Crown and not rebelling like their American nieghbours. But they seem to have lost a little bit of common sense by banning baby walkers. It must I assume be the influence of living next door to commoners!


In Canada, the sale of baby walkers was banned on April 7, 2004.Canada is the first country in the world to ban the sale, importation and advertisement of baby walkers. This ban extends to modified and second hand baby walkers, including those sold at a yard sale or flea markets.[9] The consumers product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) changed the items that were allowed to be sold at such sales.Owners of baby walkers may be fined up to $100,000 or sentenced to up to six months in jail.

Simple solution to the above. Either do not have children or move back to the mother country, where we still have a little common sense, after selling most of it to Brussels that is..
