• The seat must be strong and non-detachable
• A walking ring that folds must have a locking system to prevent it from accidentally folding or collapsing
• The wheels should not lock sideways
• Child’s weight must not exceed the manufacturers’ recommended maximum
• Never carry the walking ring with your child in it
• A child who cannot sit up without assistance must not use a walking ring
• Use on a flat surface free from electrical cords, etc
