Baby walkers, activity centres and push-along toys

Wooden push-along walkers, activity walkers, jumpers and walking harnesses to support first steps and active play, with a grown-up always close by.

How to choose: baby walkers

1

Know the types

Push-along walkers give a child something sturdy to hold and push. Activity walkers and centres add music and lights, and jumpers support bouncing. Walking harnesses are hand-held aids for a parent. Note that some safety organisations advise caution with sit-in walkers, so read the manufacturer's guidance and what suits your child.

2

Match it to your child

Look at the age range, whether the height adjusts, and whether the toy is stable. Push-along walkers suit children who can already pull up to stand.

3

Check your space

Walkers work best on smooth, level floors with plenty of room. Keep them well away from stairs, steps and anything hot or breakable, and fold-flat designs help with storage.

4

Always supervise

No walker or jumper replaces an adult. Stay close, stop using anything that is loose or damaged, and follow the instructions for assembly and use.

Baby Walkers: common questions

When do babies start using a walker?

It depends on the product and the child. Each listing shows the manufacturer's age range, and push-along walkers are generally for children who can pull themselves up and stand.

Are walkers safe?

Safety depends on the type of product, how it is used and supervision. Some organisations advise against sit-in walkers, so read the manufacturer's guidance and keep your child away from stairs and hazards. If you are unsure, ask your health visitor.

Do walkers help babies learn to walk?

Children learn at their own pace. A walker can give a child something to hold and push while they practise, but it is only one part of play.
