Baby walkers have been recommended by paediatricians far and wide as a great tool to support and encourage the development of your child from their sitting to walking phase.
As your baby continues to grow, you might notice them pulling themselves up on furniture and toys – anything they can get their hands on – to help them stand and attempt to walk.
Baby walkers can really aid the development of particular muscle group and motor skills needed for walking skills as your baby grows.
There are two main types of baby walker: the traditional sit to stand walker (more trolley-like in its action) and the more modern seat inclusive design, which suspends your baby in a padded seat so they can decide whether to sit or go for a stroll.
No matter which type you decide to go for, the main priority is that the baby walker is safe for use.
There’s a baby walker for all budgets, baby size, and design preference, so take a look at our round up of the best baby walkers for 2019 below.
