Fisher-Price Learn to Walk Zebra Baby Walker (FZC22)
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: This needs saying plainly rather than in a footnote. Canada banned the sale of baby walkers outright in 2004 and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called for the same, on evidence that they do not help a child learn to walk, may slightly delay it, and move a child faster than an adult can react -- with falls down stairs as the characteristic serious injury. They remain legal in India. A stationary activity centre or a push-along walker gives the entertainment without the movement.
Who should buy this
Nobody, on current paediatric guidance. A stationary activity centre is the recommended alternative.
Who should avoid this
Any household with stairs, and any parent who has not read the paediatric position on this product category.

Matched my use exactly
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Nobody, on current paediatric guidance. A stationary activity centre is the recommended alternative. On that basis it has been the right call. Three height settings as the child grows.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Three height settings as the child grows. The one thing to know before ordering: Banned from sale in Canada since 2004; the AAP has called for a US ban. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Any household with stairs, and any parent who has not read the paediatric position on this product category. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
