The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Baby balance boards are fun tools used to support children's gross motor skill development. Generally suitable for babies 12-18 months and older — a balance board becomes more meaningful when your baby has started walking independently. It develops balance sense, body awareness, and coordination. However, it should always be used on a soft surface under adult supervision; at first, the board should be slightly tilted with the adult holding it in place so the child can safely step on. Flipping the board upside down and using it as a tunnel or slide is also common—again, with supervision. For younger babies (6-9 months), soft floor mats, rolling practice, and crawling games are more appropriate. A pediatrician or physical therapist can give the best guidance on what's right for your child's developmental level.
