Never leave your baby unattended. Babies can move at one metre per second with a walker so before you know it they could be in trouble without you there to rescue them. Stability: Remain close at hand at all times. 'Make sure there is parental aid for reaching the walker and support for learning how to use it,' says Remy. 'Once they have the right idea, they can then use the walker with supervision as they develop essential motor skills and muscles!' Despite this, you’ll find them for sale in almost every baby store in the country, and they have been certified safe by the European Committee for Standardisation. This standard was amended in 2005 (look for BS EN 1273:2005 when buying a seated walker) to make baby walkers safe, and manufacturers are now obliged to make the baby gear move more slowly. They’ve also added safety features to protect babies from steps and trapping their hands or limbs. Choose carpet and flat areas: It's also worth considering which floor area to get started on. 'Set them up on the carpet so if any little stumbles happen, they have a soft surface to work with,' says Remy. 'Also make sure this area is flat.' Each baby walker with wheels features crinkly ears and squeakers in their tales. These features are designed to ignite your toddler’s curiosity and provide tactile and auditory stimulation.

There are plenty to choose from, whether you’re looking for a tasteful retro wooden push-along or a bells-and-whistles activity centre. Dexter is a wonderful soft, friendly and loyal Labrador – well aren’t they all? And he just loves being pushed around the house by children. And then, when those little legs get tired, he will happily let the child hop on and take them for a ride instead (he is a Push-Along walker and a Ride-On all in one).
