The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Regarding baby walker use, pediatricians and health authorities have a clear view: not recommended. The main reason is that wheeled walkers make babies move much faster than expected, faster than parents can react — leading to accidents like falling down stairs or reaching dangerous places. Every year, thousands of babies go to emergency rooms because of walkers. Also, walkers don't actually teach walking. In fact, they prevent your baby's lower body and balance muscles from developing naturally the way real walking does — walkers might even delay walking. Stationary activity centers (non-moving bouncers) are much safer. The best support for learning to walk is lots of free floor time — crawling, pulling up, walking while holding onto furniture. A parent on the floor with baby, holding their hand, is all the help they need.

Bottom line: don't buy one — it's the safest choice.
