Abstract:
Exersaucers, marketed as safe alternatives to mobile baby walkers, are stationary activity centres that allow infants to engage with toys in a confined space. Despite their widespread popularity, concerns have emerged regarding their impact on motor development, language acquisition and safety. This review provides a detailed analysis of peer-reviewed studies, examining the evidence for both the benefits and potential developmental risks associated with exersaucers. By addressing methodological gaps and integrating recommendations for caregivers, this article aims to inform the balanced use of exersaucers in infant care.
