Hope this answer finds you in good health. In my humble opinion walker is not as good as it is considered.. It actually delays walking as child is more used to ambulate without much effort. Secondly they cruise around places like stairs and heights and can put themselves in danger.. They can reach for things which can harm them with help of walker like knives on kitchen shelves.
Instead of walker go for Jumperoo. A free standing infant jumper . It makes leg muscles stronger while staying in place... Jumperoo has toys with different music and colors which improves child's fine motor hand eye coordination and cognition.. You can use Jumperoo at 6 to 12 months of age.
Hope this answer satisfies your query..
Thanks
