Where Advocacy, Special Needs Parenting, & Life Collide
Juppy Baby Walker Review and Give Away – a Safe Alternative for Walkers
Baby Product Review and Giveaway – Juppy for your Almost-Walking Baby
Note from Kat: Please welcome Brandilyn from Building Carpenters to the Cafe again to share another product review and giveaway with you. The Juppy is a specially designed canvas and cotton harness of sorts that allows you to help your almost-walking child some support without hurting your back in the process.
I’ve spoken with the Juppy folks already, because I think this product would be exceptional for those who have children with special needs as well, and the Juppy folks agree! They try to reach out to this group of folks as well. So look for another review and giveaway of this neat product soon from the Cafe (I won’t be stuffing Logan in it, but will work with a local mom to test this product out!)
Back to Brandilyn’s review – she was impressed by the Juppy, and it sounds like she had good reason!
As the mom of 3, I have gone through the learning to walk phase many times. It is both exciting and back breaking. All that leanin over to hold onto babies hands. But more importantly, baby learns to depend on those hands for support, which can actually slow the process down, not to mention that when they fall you can do some damage to those tiny shoulders.
I have always been an advocate of NOT walking around with babies hands above their hands With baby girl 8 months old, we are embarking on that journey once again.
Honestly, I think a child’s first steps are probably one of the most exciting times for a parent. It marks the point where the child moves from Baby to “independent” Toddler. But it can be heck on your back.
The Juppy is designed to help ease that transition. It is a sturdy Canvas and Cotton harness (for lack of a better term) that allows the parent to support baby securely and still stand straight and comfortably. In turn it gives baby the confidence to try to move their little feet one in front of the other, which is such and important skill to learn! It allows this psuedo-independence without the dangers associated with wheeled walkers and other “Walking” toys.
You can get the Juppy in Pink, Blue or Black. You can also have the Juppy monogrammed with your little one’s name.

I'm a special needs parent before just about everything else in life, but also a passionate advocate for my three boys and husband, who all have a bit of awesomeness about them. Awesomeness = Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome, Autism, Epilepsy, Dyslexia, Cerebral Palsy, and more. It all adds up to some awesome kids and an amazing family.
