i let my baby use baby walker about around 4 months only as he so curious the surrounding and keep asking for hugging...
after that just let it crawl, learn to stand and walk by himself...

can try go to babyjaya located at DU... the price are quite reasonable and have variety choices...

walker wasn't abuse to encourage the baby to "sit and walk" for long run...
it just a convenient for a "curious" baby who like to walk around the environment by himself without adult's assistance...
once the baby know how to crawl properly, the walker have no purpose anymore...

if anyone think walker is used to teach the baby how to walk, definitely is wrong...
the baby should learn by themselves for crawl, stand and walk with little adult's assistance and patient and without relying on any equipments

sometime walker also have danger too especially the baby trying to pick the stuff on the floor as they may use their leg to "jack up" themselves from inside... it happened to my baby as trying to get out from walker, end up he lost the balance and his head slam on the walker's body outside frame and with up-side down mode as lucky his leg still inside the walker... otherwise his head will heading to the floor...

dangerous stuffs still keep outside the house no matter how...
even though my parents in law keep the danger/toxic stuffs outside the house now, but still fenced up kitchen and staircase to prevent any unnecessary problems...
