Baby walkers are usually picked because parents hope they'll help baby have fun and learn to walk earlier. But the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) does not recommend wheeled walkers—they cause serious falls and injuries, especially down stairs. Turkey's health ministry has issued similar warnings.
Stationary "activity bouncers" (hung from door frames or standing on their own) are lower-risk, though pediatricians still suggest limiting them to 15-20 minutes at a time and only when baby's feet can fully touch the ground. They don't actually speed up walking—there's no strong evidence for that. In fact, many experts say free floor time, crawling, and natural furniture-cruising are more valuable for healthy walking development.
Bottom line: avoid wheeled walkers. Stationary bouncers are okay in short bursts under supervision. Real walking grows best with plenty of floor freedom and your hand to hold.
