Baby Walkers – New and Improved

Baby walkers are a wonderful way to let your child scoot around the house before he’s walking on his own, but he wants to be on the move. Many of the new models of baby walker can also grow with your baby so that they can be used as push-style walking toys when baby becomes a toddler.

More than just a walker

Don’t think of a walker for baby as simply a four-wheeled vehicle for your baby to move around the room in, though. The new generation of walkers for baby is safer, sturdier and more versatile than the old models and come in lots of great styles. Look for wider wheel bases to prevent falls down stairs and brakes that keep them from accidentally tipping.

Almost all baby walkers now come with activity centers as well, including play trays with attached toys, snack compartments, swivel seats, and sight/sound activities to stimulate all of the senses.

Top of the Line Brands Mean Plenty of Use

Some of the brands we recommend for top-quality baby walkers with the best safety features and assortment of baby-entertaining activities are:

• Baby Trend
• Delta Luv
• Evenflo
• Kolcraft (check out the Tiny Steps with Mini Maestro for babies who like music)
• Graco
• Fisher Price

An alternative to the baby walker Evenflo’s Exersaucer, which offers a swivel seat, lots of activities and a bouncing feature but is stationary until it converts to a push from behind walker. For parents who don’t want baby traveling too much until he can actually walk on his own, this is a great option.
