Let's be clear about walker use: the World Health Organization and AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommend not using baby walkers. Turkey's Ministry of Health shares the same view on this.
Walkers don't help babies learn to walk, in fact they can delay hip development and the strengthening of natural walking muscles. They also carry serious accident risks like falling from stairs, tipping over, and finger pinching.
Safe alternatives: a stationary activity table (seated, no wheels), push walkers (the kind baby pushes in front of them, not sitting in), or lots of free time on the floor. Baby learns to walk best through crawling, holding on, pulling themselves up, and stepping while holding your hand.
