hi girls,yes it is true that they say the walker is not good for bubs,the reason is that it effects the way there muscles and tendons etc form in the back of there lower legs,i used it for both my boys and they are fine,infact they were both walking by the time they were 11 months old.i put chantelle in so she can sit up safetly and supported and she plays with toys on the little table in front of her,she does not know how to move yet,when she does start to try i will raise it higher so her feet dont touch the ground.it is also dangerous if they are not supervised in case of accidents off stairs etc.she loves being in there once a day for about half an hour to give her something else to do,they are also great as a smaller version to a high chair if you are traveling or visiting as it folds down small and neatly for the car and baby can sit in there to be fed.it also has an activity table that attatches to it so when she is able to coordinate her hands she can press lots of noisy buttons etc
i guess it is up to the parent to use it responsibly i spose
