Both my kids started using at 5months. I remember I can't wait to put them on walker because I'm quite tired carrying them.
Yes, the walker should have label stating when it can be first used. When I first started them on walker
-i place small pillows around them because their body is too small
-made the walker immobile (brake at a single spot)
-ensure they are happy in it
-not too long
At about 7 months,
-release the brakes
-ensure they can't reach small or dangerous objects (baby proof the home)
-dont't leave them out of sight unless i really have to
Do you already have a walker?

Agree. the care-giver should limit the time spend in the walker. My ex-nanny started ds on walker when he was 6 mo. By 9 mo, , he's expert at maneuvering the walker, left-right turn, clockwise, anticlockwise, 360 degree and fast reversing. He can reverse into a block space without turning his head! BUT he was still not crawling...
All the infantcare cntrs I visited discourage using walkers. Out of which, 2 infantcares advised it's better to stop letting them "walk" in the walker by 7/8mth so as not to impend their crawling and eventually walking (I can identify with this advice...)
With cautious, i think BB can have fun time exploring in walker too
