Baby walkers

My LO is only 16wks old but loves being held up so he is 'standing' on his feet. Can anyone recommend a baby walker as I am struggling to find any?

If I were you I'd get an exercsaucer, it's the same idea but baby's feet touch the floor or a level instead of being able to 'walk', thus reducing the chances of an accident. Baby walkers aren't recommended but again, it's down to personal preference and tonnes of people use them but here's some research:

Have you thought of getting a door bouncer? They're much safer and you can adjust them so that babies feet fully touch the floor so they don't bounce on their tiptoes.

If you do decide to get a walker, ASDA have one in their event atm for £25 and everyone swears by the Jumperoo if you have the cash!

ok, thanks for the advise. we are thinking of a bouncer over a walker as LO loves being bounced. plus it will take up less space.

we had a door bouncer but it was such a pain to get him in it he was fed up and crying by the time he was in it, id recommend the chicco walker as it is quite low our lo was in a walker at about the same age as ures, and after a couple of weeks he could touch the floor and 'move' him self. but then we brought a new one as it was lent to us and he cant reach the bloody floor in his new one v dissapointd x
