Today, i saw how my daughter was just crying and a tot came to me to get her a walker for children to aid her in moving around. I went to sites to see prices such as aliexpress, jumia etc for average price of a walker. During my research, i came across this report on indiaparenting.com which discourage the use of walker. Here is a quote

Walkers are definitely NOT recommended, because babies tend to rely on them too much. Asa result, their upper leg muscles don't develop as well as they should, and this could lead to a delayin the development of the walking milestone. In addition, each year there are around 200,000 injuries sustained by children due to walkers, and around 30,000 of these injuries are severe - they include fractures, dislocations etc.
Canada has banned the use of walkers, and the American Medical Association and various other organizations have proposed a ban on walkers in the United States. DON'T get your child a walker. http://www.indiaparenting.com/child-development/25_159/help-your-child-to-walk.html

. So my question to all especially parents, how true is this? Is walker really bad that can hamper the development of ones baby. By the way, she is 6months old. Thanks

^^^..My daughter uses a walker. I got her one when she was 6months,maximum time she spends in it at a go I'd say 10mins...she's 10months now &can walk unaided. It is ur choice to make but sincerely I have never heard this your unsafe story before.
PS: Everything in life has cons&pros.

Well, my 1st child used walker, even for more than 4 months and he didnt have any problem. My second kid no gree use am, if i put her inside a walker, she would be crying seriously and that is how we forgot about it, likewise my 3rd baby, so, i cant anthoritatively say you are right or wrong, but knowledge is power, im sure if i stumbled on this type of infrmation you got, i wouldnt have bought walker for anyone of them. Prevention, they say, is better than cure, afterall, babies that do not use walkers also walks.
May God help us all.

Thanks for your observation and comment.
