Push Walkers & Walker Wagons
The versatile push walkers made of wood or plastic offer more stability while learning to walk. Little beginner walkers can not only hold on to the sturdy handle while walking, but also bring their favorite toy along wherever they go.
Does a push walker make sense?
A push walker is a useful addition as soon as your child can take their first steps unassisted. It helps with keeping balance, promotes mobility, and is great fun for many children because they can explore their surroundings more independently. While children don't learn to walk faster with a push walker, it can still encourage the joy of movement and trying out new skills. Make sure to choose a tip-resistant model and use the push walker on level ground.
Tip: When buying a push walker, look for rubber wheels – these keep the floor from getting scratched and allow for gentle, safe rolling even on slippery floors. Also recommended: with some models, the handle height can be adjusted to your child's current size.
So that play and fun aren't left behind while learning to walk, most push walkers let you "bring along" a favorite toy, doll, or books, which is a great motivational aid for children. Many push walkers aren't all that different from wooden doll strollers. So a push walker is also a cute yet useful Christmas or birthday gift!
Some manufacturers also build in extra toys, such as motor skill toys, musical toys, various buttons with sound, and much more! This means a push walker also offers plenty of entertainment for your toddler.
