Bill Egan -> Stationary Activity Centers (March 24, 2002 7:57:00 AM)

Hello:
I'm an orthopedic PT, I was wondering what pediatric specialists think about using stationary activtity centers(exersaucers). I have a very active 5 month old daughter. Our friends all use these devices to entertain their babies. This does not seem like a good idea to me, given that her leg and postural muscles are not developed enough to support her in standing and using an assistive device might lead to unnatural motor patterns. I have read somewhere that walkers can delay the onset of walking in infants, but I have not read anytrhing on these activity centers. What to you all think ?
Thanks
Bill Egan
