You asked a question about baby walkers and their safety. And the American Academy of Pediatrics actually recommended a ban against walkers with wheels in 1997 because of all the dangers associated with them. Children were known to fall down the stairs in them; it puts them higher off the ground, and so they're able to reach things better, and so there war cases of poisoning and burning associated with them; and also cases where babies would go into a pool and drown because of it. And most of these incidents happened when parents were watching, but a baby in a walker can go super fast and accidents can happen within the blink of an eye.
Alternatives to walkers include stationary activity centers that look similar to walkers, because they have all the fun toys that the baby can play with, but they don't move, and the dangers that I discussed earlier aren't associated with them. You can also have your baby sit in a high chair while supervised or play in a playpen, again, while supervised. A lot of parents thought that walkers would help their children walk faster, but it was actually shown that babies who use walkers walked later. So that's also not an advantage of using a walker.
