The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The current pediatric opinion on baby walking harnesses (also called walkers) is clear: not recommended. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and many countries state that walkers should not be used due to serious fall and injury risks. Babies can move faster with a walker than they can walk on their own, reaching stair edges or tipping over. Additionally, they don't develop walking muscles naturally; babies learn to walk best through crawling, pulling to stand, and free movement with push-pull toys.
