Is there such a thing as a safe baby walker? My 9 month old is eager to learn to walk!

Sit-in walkers are not only discouraged, it is banned in some parts of the world. Not only is it believed to hinder development, it is also a hazard especially if you have homes with pools and staircases. If you leave your child unsupervised on these walkers, they pretty much have access to any part of the house if you haven't already cordoned them off. I remember my little cousins getting overexcited in their walkers and they actually toppled over. Thankfully, there are always adults around so no injuries occurred. Push walkers are supposedly better but adult supervision is still integral when your toddlers use them.

Traditional Sit-in walkers are discouraged by KKH as these walkers do not help but hinder the development of children. You can try push walkers such as the v-tech sit to stand walker which has very interactive features. However, it is best for the child to learn how to walk by cruising and supporting himself on stable furniture. It can be purchased off Amazon or through Carousell. http://www.amazon.com/VTech-Stand-Learning-Frustration-Packaging/dp/B0053X62GK http://www.kkh.com.sg/HealthPedia/Pages/GrowingUpWalking.aspx

Although traditional walkers are highly discouraged by KK Hospital, most of us here actually grew up in them and are walking perfectly fine. I guess it's up to each individual preference on it. I personally am not using the traditional walker because I have a 7 year old daughter and she plays rough with my 7 month old son. Wouldn't want her zooming her brother around then house in the walker
