Just wondering what is the concern about using walkers? Why is it advised against in the health booklets now?

Baby walkers cause babies to walk later since they are unable to see their feet while walking. Studies have shown that babies who spent 2 hours each day in the walker were more delayed in learning to walk than babies who did not use a walker. Some babies develop atypical walking pattern since the legs are not straight while walking in the walker. They tend to develop the wrong leg muscles for walking. Such walking pattern may be difficult to correct even when baby is out of the walker. Last but not the least baby walkers cause serious injuries if the child speed toward an open door, down the stairs or a boiling pot. Countries like Canada has banned baby walkers.
