When can an infant use a walker?

Question

My daughter is 7 months I'm debating whether I should get an exersaucer or a walker for her.
Any advice would be appreciated. 
TIA

Answer

Our five month old plays in an exersaucer. It’s set that just his toes reach because he’s not ready to support his body on his legs. He can bounce a little and get himself to spin, but the majority of his weight is on the seat and not his feet. I would set it so even his toes don’t reach, but it’s already on the highest setting. 
As for a walker, the kind they sit in is highly not encouraged. The kind they walk behind is safer since it encourages standing and walking when they’re developmentally ready.

We introduced this at 6 months and she loved it. It was fun for her to sit in front of and play, fun to pull up on, and she loved pushing it around. I think it's better than something they sit in, sometimes they toe walk after being in a walker.

Answer

You should look up dangers of baby walkers. The AAP is actually trying to get them banned in the United States because they’re so dangerous. I’m definitely not going to buy a baby walker.

Answer

She might be at a good age to use it consider getting a convertible one. One that becomes a ride on toy just in case she doesn’t like it as a walker you’ll always have the ride on option.

Answer

My son was using a walker at 4 months. Full on running in my kitchen. I see so many people say how horrible they are/ should be banned. My son was walking on his own by 9 months and running on his own by 11 months.  My son definitely lovvvvedd him jumperoo for what felt like forever. He used to sit and bounce around easily till 6-7 months. Once he started cruising furniture though, he was over the jumper, walker, bouncing.

Answer

My daughter only liked the exersaucer for like 3 weeks lol I’d get a walker but get the one where they stand up and walk with it

Answer

My kids always liked the exersaucers over the walkers and I pretty much hate the walkers because every single child that’s ever sat in those walkers could not stop running into my ankles and it really hurts....so yea, those got thrown out super fast

Answer

These comments are freaking me out.... my daughter loves her bouncer I let her play in it a few times a day, of course not for hours. She cries to get in it reaches for it pulls up on it. She’s 7 months not standing or walking on her own but she will be crawling any day. Now I feel like I shouldn’t let her get in it everyday

Answer

Yes they are terrible for hips and to get baby to walk IF the parents use them for long periods of time. I see no issue if you are going to put baby in for 15-20 minutes while you wash dishes or vacuum.

Answer

They’re both terrible for their hips and for teaching them to walk.
