Summarize this article:

The tide has turned against baby walkers and many people will warn you against using them due to delaying development of motor skills as well as high risk of injury to your toddler. Just 24 hours of using a walker can result in delays in excess of 3 days for walking and standing on their own. Walkers allow the toddler to move at a faster speed than normal, as well as giving them access to things they would not normally be able to reach. Canada considers the use of walkers so dangerous, that they banned them in 2004. This is a product created to assist in supporting your toddler from the ribs rather than pulling up on their arms, which could lead to injuries. Strap the padded vest around the toddler's ribs. Hold a loop in each hand above each of the toddler's shoulders. Pulling up slightly to give the toddler support, begin moving them forward one step at a time. This will give your child something to hold onto as they explore moving around the house on their feet. They will have the support of an object which moves with them. Find a toy which is heavy enough to support your toddler and has a wide base for balance. Start with a push toy. This will be easier for them to use and encourage them to move forward while looking straight ahead. Consider a toy which is a miniature version of something your toddler has seen you use, like a mini shopping cart full of toys. Pull toys, like wagons, are more complicated and can tempt the toddler to look behind them instead of where they are going. Make sure their path is cleared of obstacles.

Summary:
Avoid walkers. Strap on some walking wings. Provide push and pull toys.
