招募了43对母婴，以确定两者之间的关系，总设备的使用和使用的个别件的设备和婴儿运动发育。在8个月大时，通过父母调查确定总的和单独的设备使用情况，并使用阿尔伯塔婴儿运动量表评估婴儿运动发育。统计学显着相关性之间的关系，发现总设备的使用和婴儿运动发育（r =-0.50，p = 0.001）和单个设备[飞碟（r =-0.58，P = 0.001）、高脚椅（r =-0.32，P = 0.04）和婴儿座椅（r =-0.32，P = 0.03）]与婴儿运动发育的关系。这些研究结果表明，婴儿谁拥有高设备的使用往往得分较低的婴儿运动发育或婴儿谁拥有低设备的使用往往得分较高的婴儿运动发育。这种横断面研究的局限性使得很难确定这些结构之间的因果关系。如果在未来的前瞻性研究中发现设备的使用与婴儿运动发育有因果关系，并可预测以后的运动发育，则可能需要对父母进行教育，强调在家庭环境中适度使用设备。
Forty-three mother-infant dyads were recruited to determine the relationship between both total equipment use and the use of individual pieces of equipment and infant motor development. At 8 months of age, total and individual equipment use was determined by parental survey and infant motor development was assessed using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale. Statistically significant correlations were found for the relationships between total equipment use and infant motor development (r = -0.50, p = 0.001) and individual pieces of equipment [exersaucer (r = -0.58, P = 0.001), highchair (r = -0.32, P = 0.04), and infant seat (r = -0.32, P = 0.03)] and infant motor development. These findings suggest that infants who have high equipment use tend to score lower on infant motor development or that infants who have low equipment use tend to score higher on infant motor development. Limitations of this cross-sectional study make it difficult to determine causality between these constructs. If equipment use is found to be causally related to infant motor development and predictive of later motor development in a future prospective study, parental education emphasizing the moderate use of equipment within the home environment might be warranted.
