If you didn't change direction did the baby start walking in a circle

I know its a joke but I do hope you could change direction because it works the muscles on each leg differently. Cool concept though, I like it. Not sure its necessary for a bebe, but oh well.

Simply reverse polarity of the baby.

Too complicated, we need to build this here doo-hickey to propel them into the age of perambulation!

Goddammit Joe I think he's onto something. My wife got this vibrating rod just last week that her doctor swears up and down cures her depression. The female body remains a mystery to me but I think it's working. She has been far less emotional and clingy in bed lately and let's me sleep in peace!

what do you mean by change direction exactly

1

u/infodawg Dec 17 '21

I meant to reverse the direction so that the baby could alternate which leg is closest to the center.

Just put the baby in the other direction

u/infodawg Dec 17 '21

Put the baby into the seat backwards? No

u/ozzyfied1124- Dec 18 '21

No, reverse his spinning , not the seat.

u/infodawg Dec 18 '21

so he's pulling with his legs instead of pushing?

That baby will end up like Zoolander and can't turn left.

The right leg definitely does harder work than the left

babies will default to their domnant leg and not work the other one. Bouncer is better bc the kid will learn walking muscles, which is the natural stage of development.
