My parents got my sister and I a simple wooden push walker with the blocks. Because it was wooden and good quality, my sister and I used the walker as a toy doll pram/trolley/wheelbarrow/bed etc until we were about 10 years old. We also played with the blocks that it came with to build towers and buildings etc. The reason for this is because both the walker and the blocks that come with it, are open play/imaginative play toys. This means that the toy can be used in more than one way and allows your child to use their imagination with the toy. This also means that it grows with your child. Also note that my parents got one and we shared it. My older sister used it first and then when was about 9 months, I started to use it.
This is just my personal opinion, but a plastic walker, or even the fancy and heavy wooden walker, does not offer as many benefits as the classic simple wooden walker.

Honestly, it is as if you were reading my mind. Every video is about a topic I have been wondering about!

[stayathomecichlidmom]

I don't know why this was in my recommendations but it brought back memories of my first daughter at 26 weeks crawling to her walker, pulling herself up and taking off. I can still hear her screaming in delight, realizing she could now race around the house. Lol.

Thank you very much for posting this. Hearing that walkers can delay development made me feel really guilty for letting my son use a push walker, but I'm really glad to see that push walkers aren't in the same category as regular walkers. We've got a plastic one and a wooden one, and he really loves his plastic one at the moment, but is starting to like his lighter wooden one now he's gotten more confidence.

We did buy a walker for our little one but looking back we actually did not need one. My little girl loved to push around the box where her toys were normally stored, it was also more stable and less prone to tip over.

I have the same plastic walker with activity panel. We use it for tummy time right now and we love it

[josefingatsby]

You are THE BEST and I appreciate your channel so much!!!!

[minvisible]

[Maria-lucy]

Tjank you for your advice! No walkers here! My baby started walking when 15 months old with no help at all and does pretty good

[MarthaParra-cn]

Thank you for the support to new patents ❤

[hannahemery]

I have been considering buying a walker for my 9.5m old, this was really helpful! Thank you!

[willowlane]

I came as I'm shopping for a new push toy for my 15 month old. He broke his plastic one at 13 months as he likes to ram into things and is now pushing furniture around. I've been trying to find something that won't damage the house. Playing outside as much as possible currently, he is my 4th boy and very determined. I like the wooden tray one but may need to modify the front with a pool noodle as a bumper.

[JohanaMBarrientos]

Thank you for this video! I've been doing so much research about this.

[vivi.passos]

I was in doubt about which one to get but now the wooden one it is 😁

[stephanie]

Thanks for another great video, right on point! I've learned so many useful things about baby development that I can apply for my now 5 month old :)
