Like every parent, you also may want to start looking for the best baby walker when your child reaches that significant milestone in their life; taking their first steps. That’s where walkers for babies come in handy, as they will assist them in making the transition from sitting to standing and then to walking for the very first time.

There is a huge variety of walkers available to suit a wide range of tastes and budgets, so we've selected some of the best to assist you in selecting the ideal one for you and your child. Read along to learn how to choose the best baby walker for your little one!

How to choose the best baby walker

We compiled a list of tips to make sure you find the best walkers for babies:

• For little ones who have just started sitting up the seated walkers are perfect.
• If your little one has no issue with standing up as long as they lean on something for support, a walking frame can be your go-to.
• Strides are a fun option as they are small bikes where your little ones can sit but still move their legs along the way.
• A jumper on the other hand has a bouncing seat but it remains stable and does not move around. It is to encourage your baby to move their muscles and simply prepping them for their first steps. 

Small tip: A walker with a wider base will keep your baby out of places in the house where you don't want them to be, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Make sure that the walker can move easily on the carpet, otherwise, your baby may give up trying. Adjustable height and padded seats are always a nice touch. Another nice accessory is the lockable wheels when the baby needs to stay in one place.

Some of the safety tips are useful and also listed below for your information:

• Walkers should only be used under adult supervision, and infants should never be left unattended in a walker. 
• Check what your baby can now reach. Can they now reach dangerous objects or even a cup of coffee? Do not allow your baby to use the walker near stairs or steps.
• Slippery floors can cause accidents, make sure your little one is wearing a grippy sock while you are remaining close at all times
• Pick carpeted areas to begin with. It is always better to practice their first steps on a soft surface in case any accidents, or stumbles happen.

Make sure the power outlet is out of reach for your baby. Make sure there are no cables for children to pull. Pay attention that the walkers you chose have safety marks; BS EN 1273:2005.
