Overview

This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for baby walking frames into which a child is placed, and intended to be used from when the child is able to sit up by itself until the child is able to walk by itself. This document does not apply to baby walking frames for therapeutic and curative purposes and to those baby walking frames relying on inflatable parts to support the child. Toys (for example, ride on toys, push-along toys, usually intended for children able to walk unaided) are not covered by this document. If a baby walking frame has several functions or can be converted into another function, the relevant European standards apply to it. This document (EN 1273:2020+A1:2023) has been prepared by CEN/TC 252 "Child use and care articles", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 095-05-03 AA "Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Sitzen, Pflegen, Schützen, Liegen und Transportieren" ("Child use and care articles - Sitting, caring, protecting, laying and transporting") at DIN Standards Committee Safety Design Principles (NASG).
