HOW TO USE WALKING WINGS: - Fasten the safety buckle on the back of the Walking Wings vest and tighten strap as snugly as possible for proper support. - Vest should be tightened so it does not easily ride up on child. -Always use the safety buckle —never depend on the hook and loop only to support the child. -After fastening the vest, hold the handle straps securely while allowing your child to balance and confidently practice walking. -Letting children be hands free, as Walking Wings does, will improve their balance and stability. Parents should always hold the handles with two hands. - Although your baby may be eager to walk, each baby is different and using Walking Wings may take some practice. You may need to try a few times before baby is comfortable.
