I have brought my seven month old son a baby walker. The kind that has a seat, circular in shape and around eight wheels. Some of our relatives have advised against using this thing as it may lead to permanent defects in the legs or in the hip bone. I am clueless on what to do. Any advise? rashpal replied. I'm not sure where you're from, but in Canada, the use of walkers is not recommended. In fact, I don't believe they are legal to sell here. I personally would NEVER use a walker as it doesn't allow the muscles to strengthen naturally, but rather puts the legs in an awkward position. I would listen to your family and not use it. Let your child get used to playing on the floor, learning to sit and crawl. sonu replied. hi,

y to force a child to walk until n unless he dont try by himself.my 18 mths baby herself tried to walk from the age of 9 mth.she is running all around now.we never forced her to do anything.she is happy baby.

its not permanent defects,its just their bone structure get bent.by time it will disappear. but look at the tiny legs of ur 7 mth baby do u really feel like forcing those tiny limbs to walk?

everybody try it but perosnally i dont feel so ! its up to ur wish dear.
