Product Information

Designed by a mom who is also a doctor of physical therapy, this push toy is unique in that it doesn't have wheels. Instead, it has spring-loaded feet that move up and down and can safely glide across surfaces of all kinds. For added stability, you can add "booties" to two feet, providing more traction. The ergonomically designed toy features a large tray in the table's center that has edges for gripping, pushing and pulling. It can also function as a table when your child is older. Sit-in walkers can also increase children's exposure to objects that are dangerous and normally out of reach, such as a hot stove or hazardous household chemicals, leading to burns and poisonings, respectively," says Dr. Le. It's important to note that assembling this walker can be a challenge. Once the parts are connected, they can't be rearranged, which has left some parents installing the activity center upside down. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully during assembly so that your child will get the most out of this three-in-one toy. According to the manufacturer, it's suitable for children ages 9 months to 3 years old.

Many brands still call their toys "baby walkers," but they look nothing like the type of sit-in walkers doctors advise against. Instead, they may be push toys with wheels and handles toddlers can use to practice standing and walking. Or they may be stationary activity centers with several attractions that entice young children to stand up and practice their balance. Some toys may also offer a combination of ways to use them, with activities younger babies can play with during tummy time or sitting up on the ground, as well as legs or wheels to attach when they get older. Consider your space, your child's developmental level, and how long you want to be able to use this toy when deciding what type to get. According to Dr. Le, it's possible.

Children learn about the world around them through interactions and play," says April Twenhafel, MS, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Newport Beach, Calif. "It's through this sensory experience of exploration that a child develops physically, mentally, and emotionally." Dr. Le also notes that falling will occur and is expected. "Reminding your child that trips or falls are OK and normal helps them understand it's part of the learning process," she says. Fortunately, there are plenty of safe alternatives out there.
