Baby Walker VS Excesaucer

it's a round thing, where you put the child in a centre seat & there are toys all around, that looks like a walker but the child's feet do not touch the ground, cos there is a "floor" to the saucer. the child can entertain themselves safely without moving around at all, only suitable for babies who can sit up. a great invention!
 
toys club in horizon plaza, or 8 queen's rd central (i think 15/F). they also sell it at bumps to babes, & mothercare. i think they have some at babyrus too.
 
We got an exersaucer for my DD when she was 6 months and she used it up til she was about 14 months (when she started walking). I never put her in it for long periods of time. Maybe 20-30 mins twice a day. We decided against the walker because I didn't want her to bump into things, plus the apartment we were in was small and cramped. We love our Graco exersaucer which we bought at Bumps 2 Babes.
 
My little man is 9mths old and loves his walker, which is a Valco with two height settings and has dropdown locks to lock the walker on the spot (ie the whole walker wont move/roll when the locks are down), the base is also a lot wider than the top so it'd be very hard to flip with him it it. He is able to crawl and pull himself to stand, but also loves to be zooting around the house in his walker. Here in Australia they were not recommended for quite a long time, and perhaps may still be not recommended, however I have a walker and my son uses it and I agree with Erin in that they should only be used with constant adult supervision, and in a safe environment .. no stairs, nothing to snag a wheel on etc.
my 2 cents worth :)
