walker: to buy or not to buy?




i am very very confused whether to buy zara a walker or not... article in babycenter said that it's not advisable to do so.... "putting a baby in a walker is like giving a teenager a ferrari - a dangerous risk".... is it so??? how? i read in the forum that the concern is about the safety of the baby while in the walker. and another concern is the 'seated-stand position' that makes the hips dont line up naturally... and walkers might actually delay walking because of the way the baby moves in it... here i found another useful article... click here and learn the facts.... hm.... but yeah, millions of mommies used walkers for their baby kn? and takde plak we see hips problem... hehe.... i also read somewhere that the right tool to train our baby to walk is to let them use these kind of walkers...




because the baby can only use these kind of walkers when they are really really ready to walk... tulang dah kuat... and all... but still... im not sure about it....

hmmm... or should i buy an exersaucer or a jumper instead??? these are a few...











exersaucers and jumpers are very useful in order to get the baby occupied. plus it comes with lotsa toys... and it is static... so we do not have to worry about the baby's safety.

so now..... decision has to be made... i planned to buy zara her 7-month old present.. ngehehe.. to buy the conventional walker?? or the independant walker? if beli independant walker, 9-10months nti baru boleh guna... so kene KIV dulu. is it too late for an exersaucer? or a jumper? bcuz babies usually around 1 year old plus minus (insyaAllah) dh boleh jalan kn.. if beli now.. ade dalam 5months untuk gune.. worth buying or not??? wehehehe... how? how? how? what say u people?? please please please advice.... thanks in advance :)

i used a walker on Aleesya after she's capable of seating steadily. takut nnt bongkok. and I always monitor her each time she's in it.. to eliminate all the risks there is.. since using the walker, she's able to stand up for quite some time with minimum support.. so, I guess there's it's OK lah kot!
