These toys encourage walking by offering steady support and motivating movement: push-or-walk designs and handles provide stability for early steps, while rolling or pull-along toys move ahead to prompt chasing and walking.
Battery requirements vary: some toys need no batteries, others use a single AA or a single packaged alkaline cell, and some kits list 2 AA alkaline cells as an optional power source.
Setup requirements vary: some items are ready to play out of the box, while others require adult assembly (often with tools provided). Check the product listing for specific assembly details.
