If they are going to start banning things that may hurt people, then They should ban cars, pencils, forks, bathtubs, and anything else that could be considered potentially harmful. Or, we as parents can use our brains to keep our kids safe. Both my kids used walkers. I closely supervised them, and used common sense, and my kids were never injured. The government regulating things cannot be used as a substitute for common sense, and good parenting. My advice is to watch your kids, and think for yourself, and the government can use our tax dollars for things other than telling us stuff we should already know.
