Yes, I know baby walkers are no longer looked on as being good for a child, but back in the 70's they were perfectly legal and quite popular.
We did not worry about stairs as the home was on one floor. It is wise to child proof a home but sometimes somethings get overlooked.
As you say you have a child who was walking by the time he/she was 8 months old perhaps that child rode on a rocking horse or a tricycle. Young children do like riding toys. I am aware that children have accidents. We simply cannot childproof every single aspect of their young lives and wrap them up in cotton wool. For one thing such treatment is not good for the child. And of course sometimes tragedies happen. But not it seems to a lot of the WW's children. We do not hear of a single child dieing in a home accident. They seem to be very safe and this is probably due to the child being magical. with built in safety cushions. What I am trying to say is that judging this aspect of the books by our standards just doesn't work. We are not magical and neither are our children. We have to be constantly on the lookout against broken bones and bad cuts, it seems that magical parent have other worries. Such as spell damage.
