S 8776 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the use of infant walkers in child care facilities; repealer

This bill prohibits child care facilities in New York from using or possessing infant walkers. It directly affects all licensed child care facilities, including those regulated under New York State law and New York City health code. The law bans infant walkers - mobile devices allowing children to move horizontally - on facility premises after the effective date, replacing a repealed prior provision. Facilities must be notified of this requirement by the Office of Children and Family Services. The bill focuses on eliminating a specific safety hazard in childcare settings.
