WALKING DEVICE FOR CHILDREN ' S FIRST STEPS
This invention relates to a frame aimed at support-ing and leading children when they are learning to walk.
After learning to go on all fours, children want to start waLking upright. However, their parents cannot often 5follow them continuously in this special activity, and children may sometimes expose themselves to some unexpect-ed dangers. Even the use of traditional baby walkers does not exclude such a possibility. While moving about with a baby walker, in fact, a child may knock against tables and lofurniture, draw neæ dangerous appliances such as heaters, ovens and the like, or stumble and fall from steps.
This invention proposes a new device which can help solve those problems that usually arise with children in such phase ef growth.
15An object of this invention is in fact to supply a walking device in the form of a fixed frame suitable to support and lead children in their first steps. Such frame includes a base plane, two parallel horizontal runners held up above the base plane; a slide sliding on said 20runners and having a housing hole for the child, and a guiding ring surrounding said hole and supporting a revol-- ving chair for the child. The chair is in the form of pants hanging detachably from said ring and resulting below said housiny. The base plane and/or the pants-chair :. '; :

are adjustable in height. Some toys can be placed at the ends of said runners. The frame can be dismantled in order to reduce its encumberment during packing and transport operations and to be put back in a little space after use.
The structure here proposed has the following advan-tages:
- It allows the child to walk autonomously, to keep a correct position and to lean with his/her arms on the slide or on the runners.
1~ - If the child gets tired, he/she can let himself/herself fall sitting on the pants-chair with his/her bust sup-ported by the slide.
- The toys placed at the two ends of the runners arouse the child's interest to move towards the two directions, for example to be able to follow with his/her eyes the movements of the people nearby, and to change the direc-tion of his/her movement.
- - The base plane and/or also the pants can be adjusted in height according to the child's height.
- It is not dangerous for the child, it is absolutely sta-ble and it does not overturn even with the child's most sudden movements.
- It can be easily dismantled and moved, occupying a limi-ted space both when it is used and when it is refolded ; 25 and put back.
