About this deal

Delve into our range of baby walkers, more than just a support system. These modern walkers have a variety of features such as music, speech, rattles, buttons, and mirrors. They not only offer fun, but they also help your little ones take their first steps. The safety of seated baby walkers is up for debate in the childcare community. In 2007, baby walkers were banned in Canada due to reported and potential dangers, and childminders in the UK have been told by the National Childminding Association not to use them. In the past few years, several improvements have been made to increase the safety of sit-in baby walkers. Most models now include lower rails that (in theory) will catch on a stair edge and use friction to stop the walker's momentum before a disaster happens. Think of it like a super low-rider car: any little pot-hole and you will be scraping the bottom of your car when your tire drops into the hole. New baby walkers operate on the same principle, using bottom-edge friction to slow the walker down and bring it to a stop when a wheel drops off any ledge over about half an inch deep. This safety feature reduces the risk of your baby careening down the stairs, off a ledge, or into a pool. Imagine the look on your baby’s face when they see this! Not only does it look pretty spectacular, this cute 4-in-1 train toy from VTech functions as a walker, pull-along wagon and ride-on, has modes for sit-down play as well as plenty of educational features. The 3-in-1 activity walker from Little Tikes is a baby walker, standing activity table, and sit and play activity centre all in one. It has lights which project from the dome when your baby uses it to walk to encourage her to take more steps and features over 70 activities, songs and sounds, providing hours of fun.

As discussed, it’s not a good idea to buy a sit-in baby walker for your baby and a push-along walker is a better option. Kids can explore the hands-on activities in both the walker and ride-on modes to see fascinating sights, hear silly sounds and touch interesting textures. Fun-filled activity panel includes 5 light up buttons, shape sorters, gears, animal buttons & role-play phone Mumsnet has been helping parents make their lives easier since 2000 and, in those years, we’ve investigated, tried and reviewed thousands of products.

Regarding the stairs test, we only subjected the Joovy and Safety 1st models to that test. It made us really nervous when we tried it, but it was worth it for our peace of mind. Overall we found that the Joovy performed a bit better than the Safety 1st in the edge-of-stairs test, presumably due to the configuration of the Joovy base and its nice anti-slip surface on the bottom rails. Of course it's just one test and your situation might differ, so always watch your baby carefully and make sure your home is safe before using any baby walker. While the new walker safety features are great, they do not guarantee safety in all situations.

If your baby is starting to cruise the furniture then why not invest in a baby walker to help them on their way to freedom? Here are the best baby walkers UK for babies and toddlers. Finally, we cross-referenced all of the above information to make a longlist of the best baby walkers currently on the market.

About the author When purchasing a push along walker the main consideration is that the toy is the right height for your child. Some walkers have adjustable handles to assist with this, so look for this feature. As with any baby product, it is extremely important to ensure that your little one is using a baby walker safely. While research shows that modern baby walkers are about 25% safer than traditional ones, they still cause thousands of injuries every year in the United States.
