Adjustable Baby Walker

When my kids were babies I noticed that when their hips were as high as the table portion of the walker while standing in the them then over half their body weight could lean over the table. That looked like it could increase the risk for tipover. Wheels came about 1 or 2 inches off the floor when baby was getting a bit too energetic. It was time to quit using it. They were tall but they walked independently at 10 months old so they never got too tall for the walker until right at the time they walked on their own. Are these new adjustable height walkers actually taller walkers? Do the wheels stay on the floor (not even a small 1 or 2 inches of tipping) even when the baby is taller/longer? Just curious.
Couldn't falling down the stairs occur when the baby is crawling too? Babies run very soon after they walk at 1 year old or younger. They can get into pretty scarey situations then too. Doesn't all of this boil down to supervision and keeping stuff out of baby's reach?

Don't use a walker they are dangerous and discourage the development of walking. I had a johnny jump up that I used with my daughters, a playpen and my babysitter used an excersaucer, which is stationary but lets the baby stand. My kids were both walking on their own by 10 months and my youngest one was (and still is tiny). I knew someone whose daughter rolled down the steps in a walker and that child is now severely disabled. If it were up to me walkers would be banned. Besides at the age where they are using walkers, they can get into so much trouble.
