Baby walker?

Question

What are everyone's opinions on walkers? Or exersaucer? I've heard mixed things about stunting baby's development but I think my son would LOVE it. What are y'all doing? (He's almost 4 months btw)

Answer

We got a hand-me-down ExerSaucer. I don't have my daughter in there much, but it's fun for her. She's slowly figuring out how everything works. She also has one of the swing/bouncers that hangs in a doorway. She loves spinning herself in circles!

Answer

We went to a baby developmental center this week and got this pamphlet given to us about how the American Pediatric Institute has recommended a ban on walkers, and anything with a sack-like opening for the legs can cause the baby's spine to misalign and has a chance for them to walk on their tip-toes. It was depressing.

Answer

My son uses an exersaucer and a jumper and a walker is on its way :) 
He does a ton of walking/bouncing while I hold him up though

Answer

I read something about the baby walker giving them a false sense of movility. I havent heard anything about the exersaucer, I put mine in it for a bit when he is done with tummy time and really enjoys it, it just says to make sure his feet can only touch the base with his toes. I feel like its even strengthtening his back bc the first time i put him in it he could barely hold himself straight and now he is upright! Everything in moderation!

Answer

We have a walker, jumper and exersaucer and his favorite by far is the jumper. He likes to go up and down. The Walker is okay but he just sits there and doesn't really use it or interact with the toys on it.
