How to play
Let him push it across the room. Load it with books to slow it down while he's still wobbly, and lighten it as he gets steady.
What you need
A weighted push wagon — heavy enough that it doesn't shoot away.
What it secretly builds
Gross motorWalking while holding something is harder than walking alone — he has to steer and balance at once. It's the bridge between cruising and free steps.
Safety first
Not a seated baby walker. Only the push kind, on flat floors, away from stairs.
