Why not to use a walker?

rivergirl9

I've just read this........ "Do not use an infant walker at any age. The walkers are dangerous and do not help your baby's motor development".

I don't understand this.......we use a walker for our 4 month old. He loves the toys on it and he's touching the floor and moving himself backwards. My Mom used a walker for me and I was crawling at 6 months and walking at 8 months.
Thanks for all the responses! We don't use it as a babysitter. He'll only stay in it about 15-20 mins. and then he's bored and wants out. I mainly use it in the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner and can't hold him. And he's right there with me.....no stairs. No hazards. He can't leave the kitchen as the next room is carpeted and it won't roll on the carpet. But he loves pushing the buttons and seeing the lights and hearing the noises. For now, I think it's good for him.
I didn't mean that the walker helped me learn to walk.......I meant that it obviously didn't hinder me from walking.

Answer
I'm pretty sure the whole "walkers are dangerous" thing is meant for the parents who think it's okay to keep a baby in a Bumbo chair on top of a table, unsupervised.
It's like "caution: may contain hot liquid" on coffee cups or "may contain nuts" on Peanut M&M packages.

If you've babyproofed the area appropriately, always have an eye on your child, don't leave them in there for extended periods and use common sense all around, walkers can be a safe fun time for your baby.
