Walking comes naturally to able-bodied children, so baby walkers definitely aren’t necessary to teach them to walk. All babies reach those milestones at their own rate, and there's no evidence to suggest a baby walker helps them get there any faster. In fact, the opposite may be true; if your baby is using a walker regularly, he might not be practicing standing and "cruising" unsupported as often as babies who don't use a walker, both of which are building blocks on the path to walking.
