Raised By A Frugal Mommy - A. Kimi Date : 19 Feb 2012 After hard-core scrubbing, no more stains! Lil Kimi is becoming increasing restless these days. He doesn't like lying around too much so I googled "when-can-baby-ride-walker" - most moms answered 4 months and others even said 3.5 months! So yesterday's Garage Sale mission was to find a cheap preloved walker for Kimi.
