FAQs

Most baby walkers are designed for babies aged 6 to 15 months. It's crucial to ensure that your baby can hold their head up steadily and has their feet touching the floor when placed in the walker. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests that babies can start using a walker around 6 months old, provided the walker is sturdy and suitable for their age and weight. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing a walker to your baby.

While you can't force early walking, you can encourage development by:- Providing plenty of tummy time and allowing them to crawl and explore.

  • Using activity walkers safely and with supervision.- Encouraging crawling and cruising along furniture.
  • Practicing assisted standing and walking by holding their hands.
  • Giving plenty of floor playtime and placing toys just out of reach to motivate movement.

Remember, every baby develops at their own pace, so patience is key.

When used correctly and under adult supervision, baby walkers can be a fun and safe way to help your baby develop their walking skills. Modern activity walkers with safety features can be used with proper precautions:- Use only on flat, clear surfaces and never near stairs or hazards.- Limit usage to short periods (15-20 minutes).- Ensure the walker meets current safety standards and always supervise your baby.Our baby activity walkers are designed with safety in mind and meet or exceed all applicable safety standards.

Research is mixed on this topic. Some studies suggest that excessive use of baby walkers may delay walking milestones, as they can alter the way babies learn to balance and walk. However, modern activity walkers that allow proper foot placement and controlled movement can support normal development when used appropriately and in moderation. It's essential to remember that every baby develops at their own pace.

In Montessori philosophy, the focus is on natural development and allowing babies to learn to walk at their own pace. Traditional Montessori approaches typically don't recommend baby walkers. Instead, they favor natural movement development through:

  • Push toys and pull-up bars.
  • Free movement on the floor.
  • Walking while holding furniture.Ultimately, the decision to use a walker depends on the individual family's values and approach to child development.
