Baby walker should not be used. By placing the baby in walker baby will not learn to walk faster. It causes serious injuries to the babies like Head injuries, alterd walking gait, Injury to the Testis ( Torsion of the Testis ) in male babies, Diaper rashes, Repeated Urinary tract infections ( UTI ). Many countries have stopped Production & Sales of walkers. So there is no benefit to the baby. It causes only harm to the little one.
