Hi Janine! I can still see those local stores or as we call it "tiangge" in Quiapo, specifically in Puente (under Quiapo bridge) that sell native products that include the rattan walker for babies like the one showed in the photo (ps. photo not mine) My mom said that the 4 of us, her daughters, went through using the same walker when we were little. It's just that unlike the modern walkers nowadays, parental supervision is more required as walker has been linked to a lot of accidents with babies and because this type of walker doesn't have any wheels at all, movement's highly dependent to the baby who's a feeble one. Also, that piece of cloth that "supports" the baby's bottom is highly not dependable.
