Thank you all for the information on baby walkers. I went to the American Academy of Pediatrics website and read more. Appreciate the feedback.
Walkers are not supposed to be used anymore. You could get a stationary playcenter and then one of those push toys when he starts walking. But pediatricians have said no to walkers years ago.

My daughter's pediatrician does not recommend walkers.
Hi S.. My baby's doctor advised us not to get walkers with wheels at that age. Jumpers/Bouncers, she said, were fine. The ones with wheels may help develop baby's legs but the doctor was more concerned about developing baby's hips and thighs. Enjoy your baby!
Baby walkers interfere with neurological development and can cause symptoms of ADHD and other neurological disorders.

S.,
NONE. They are dangerous. You're better off letting him hold onto your fingers if he wants to "cruise" or having him glide along a coffee table. Walkers are extremely dangerous and some experts say they can actually impede a baby's walking development.
