During the period from May to November 2026, Market Surveillance Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and market inspections of the BiH entities and Brčko District of BiH have conducted joint market surveillance of baby walkers.
The objective of the surveillance activities was to determine whether baby walkers available on the market of Bosnia and Herzegovina are safe for children. Baby walkers are considered to be safe if they meet the requirements specified by the Law on General Product Safety (Official Gazette of BiH, 102/09) and the standard BAS EN 1273+A1:2025.
In order to determine whether the baby walkers meet the prescribed safety requirements, 7 samples of baby walkers were subjected to laboratory testing, administrative verification of the product information available at the point of sale, instructions for use and product marking, as well as visual inspection of certain safety features.
The laboratory testing showed that none of the 7 models of baby walkers tested meet the prescribed safety requirements. 3 out of the 7 models of baby walkers were withdrawn from the market because they posed serious risk to the safety of children. On the 4 remaining models of baby walkers, which posed medium or low risk, economic operators eliminated the identified non-compliances.
Based on the market surveillance activities conducted, it can be concluded that the safety of baby walkers available on the market of Bosnia and Herzegovina is not satisfactory.
