This study attempts to clarify the factors of baby-care environment hat are related to determining the pattern of locomotor development. First, the chisquare test was applied to the questionnaire data answered by the parents of 207 children who showed either the "prone-predisposed" or the "erect-predisposed" locomotion during early infancy. Among ten factors, the one that was not independent of the pattern of the locomotor development was the use of a walker (P<0.01). Second, this study employed the "quantification method of the second type" to determine what factors discriminate between the "prone-predisposed" and the "erect-predisposed" patterns. The factors that had wider range of the category scores were (1) season of birth, (2) use of a walker, and (3) age of the first enrollment at a day-care center. The process of locomotor development seems to be affected by the infant's direct environment provided by both the family and the day-care center.
