How do I get my nephew to walk with his walker Strait? It has a Fisher-Price Walker Wagon:

I do not know how old he was when he started to walk, but it is still very, very young. Most babies begin to walk anywhere from 9 months to 14 months - some sooner, others later. Weight, they were premature or not can affect this too. At 11 months, he has no ability to control his movements, he was 2, then I'd be worried.
Are you worried about this, or his parents? Although I think it's great that you are so hands on is one where you need to relax and let it grow! If parents are concerned, then just call the pediatrician, will be happy to help, but I think they will tell them that everything is fine.
Babies often walk off their feet, toes or foot are very "shaky" in their market - they are still learning and learning to control the use of their muscles, to expect that they are able to control their movements and be able to walk straight is really asking a lot of baby! Then you need to using something with wheels! You add that it uses to control his movements, adding that it must control.
What is the hurry? It was 11 months. Whether a baby! Do not rush, before you know it will run around and you wish he was still behind the walker! I have two children and believe me, it's time easy!

I'm sorry to say that there's really not much you can do to get a baby to walk straight. They are still learning and part of this experience is how to get where they want to go. Most toddlers are walking on their own could not walk a straight line if asked. My son will start in one direction with his walker, but he will see something interesting and turn his head and then he went in another direction. He does not mind that it does not go straight, or even that he left the road and in the grass in our backyard. In fact I do not think my son really cares where he goes again - he is just happy to be moving around on its own without having to crawl.
My best advice is to give your nephew a lot of space and let him go wherever he wants. If he goes to where you want it, just turn it all around. Most likely he will be happy to walk just to practice and learn to better balance. He will find everything on its own terms. If it is a safety issue, then you may want to set up barriers to keep it right where you need to be. Otherwise, just enjoy watching a young child to explore his environment and his own abilities. It's really fun.
It may not be ready or legs are not strong enough.
Everyone has different time clock, they vary.
My son enjoyed their ride-on toys, but my grandbaby will not mount.
Simply provide some indication sweet if you can. If very young, so it will take some time for him to get the hang of it.
