Objectives: To examine the opinion of parents/guardians on the impact of a baby walker on the safety and motor development of a child. Study design: A cross-sectional survey that was conducted during May and June 2021. Participants and Methods: 154 respondents participated in the research, parents/guardians of children up to two years of age, without neurological deficits residing in the Osijek - Baranja County. Data was collected by an anonymous questionnaire online and in physical form. The questionnaire contains questions on general data of respondents, key questions on the use and recommendations being for or against the use of a baby walker, opinions and experiences of parents whose child uses (or has used) a baby walker, and the opinion of all respondents on the impact that a baby walker has on motor and musculoskeletal development of the child. Results: Out of a total of 154 surveyed parents, 31,8 % of the respondents’ children use (or have used) a baby walker. Out of the 49 respondents whose child uses (or has used) a baby walker, 27 of them (55,1 %) were previously advised not to do so. Most parents decide to use this product because they think that it is a safe way for their child to have fun. A significant percentage of respondents believe that a baby walker will help their child to achieve independent walking, and that it will strengthen leg / back / abdomen muscles. Conclusion: A significant percentage of respondents believe in the safety and positive effects of a baby walker on the motor and musculoskeletal development of the child. Given the alarming data that we have obtained within this research, parent education is of utmost importance.
