Funny, wonder how long it has been since that PT has been in school? My DD, graduated with a Docterate in Physical Therapy in 2007 and has been working as a Pediatric PT for going on 4 years. They don't have that view in PT school now. According to my DD, a saucer, walker, bouncer, bumbo, are ALL safe, if used for no more than 20-30 min at a time and about 3-4 times a day, during a 10 hour daycare period.
Also, according to my DD, one of the biggest contributing things to bowleggedness, is "W" sitting....(flat on their bottom, with the legs bent back in a W).
She has even used a walker to encourage a child that didn't like to put his feet on the floor. All the therapist use the bumbos.
