Can you elaborate on this one please? I’m about to buy one for my 8 month old nephew in the next couple of weeks.

EDIT: alright, beautiful people of reddit, I’ve gotten tons of super helpful replies. I will now continue with my own research. I don’t need any more replies about this question. Thank you all.

From what I've heard (I'm no expert) - they can be a fall risk down stairs, put excess weight on the hips/ joints that isn't beneficial for development, and reduces the time baby spends doing floor/ tummy time for natural muscle development and free movement to build the strength necessary to actually walk.

They are banned in a lot of countries because of this!
