As Is Well Known, baby walkers are deathtraps. Babies who are too young to walk are too young to have that kind of mobility; they wind up falling downstairs, getting tangled up in electric cords and tipping the walker over, rolling themselves into a hot radiator, etc. etc. etc. We'd never have one in the house.

However.

Colin does not read baby safety advice. He has figured out that he can stand up holding on to a small table, child-sized chair, highchair, laundry basket, or even a large toy, and walk wherever he wants by pushing it in front of him.

For extra credit, he crawls up onto the top of our toy garage and then attempts to climb from there onto the furniture.

We are so very dooooomed.

So far my kid's got the record amongst my friends for breaking a limb - 3 years, 3 months, I think? Hoping Colin holds out longer than that ;)

We had a plastic crate that we used as a side-table. Ciaran caught on VERY early that he could push it along to walk. I wouldn't worry about it too much, especially if you can make sure that there are more stable things, like a big plastic crate, for him to use for that purpose.
