Black Friday 2024 baby walkers deals have started

This innovative walker offers four distinct functions in one, making it a valuable investment. Firstly, it helps little ones take their first steps as a baby walker, and thanks to the secure harness and no-tip build, parents can feel confident their tot is safe to move around. However, it’s worth mentioning that it doesn’t perform quite as well on carpet floors, with mum tester Nina saying, " It does not really go on carpets, but on the rest floor surfaces, it is amazing."

There’s also the fun interactive activity centre for your child to play with to help develop their fine motor skills as they find their feet, featuring a range of toys, lights, sounds and games to engage their senses through the use of colourful buttons and different textures, with one mum commenting, “my son loves both ‘walking’ in it and just playing with the toys.” The seat also rotates 360 degrees, meaning they can easily access all the games on offer. 

It can also be transformed into a rocker for a relaxing environment for playtime or nap time. This gentle rocking motion helps to calm and comfort your baby, promoting relaxation and restfulness. 
This versatile walker can also be adjusted to function as a handy feeding chair, allowing your little one to enjoy meals in comfort and convenience. The tray and the seat are both easily removable, making for easy cleaning, while the adjustable height settings ensure a perfect fit for your growing child.

With its removable activity board, the VTech Baby Walker is aimed at little ones of various ages, allowing younger ones to explore with five light up buttons, shape sorter, gears, animal buttons and a role play phone for older ones to enjoy when pushing the walker around. This makes it a great investment for families with multiple children. Mum Nikita particularly found it very convenient for her two children, commenting, “Being able to remove the activity board from the actual walker is great because it means both my under twos can play with one each.”

Our mum testers found this walker very easy to assemble. As mum tester, Karen found, “The walker was very easy to assemble with clear instructions. It also came with batteries, so this is a massive plus if you're like us and never keep batteries in the house!” Mums also loved how portable it was, making it very travel-friendly. Mum tester Laura said, “I love that it can be folded together, which makes transporting it really easy.”

While some mum testers would have appreciated more secure attachments on the activity board to make it safer for little hands, this walker remains a top choice for parents looking for a fun yet functional baby walker.

Ideal for those on the hunt for a more sustainable baby walker option, the Janod Sweet Cocoon Wooden Multi-Activity Baby Walker is designed to help little ones develop their motor skills and balance as they learn to walk. Parent testers found this walker took them only 20 minutes to assemble, and our dad tester was impressed with its stability. "It’s extremely stable, and the walker can support our daughter when she pulls herself to standing both from the activity side and the walking side, unlike other walkers that we have tested where applying weight from the activity side can result in the walker falling backwards. Likewise, we noted that walking while our daughter holds the grip bar over to one side, rather than evenly distributing her pushing force, does not result in the walker being unstable (i.e. tipping sideways)" Chris commented.

It’s designed for withstanding active play for long-lasting and sustainable fun, suitable for young children to move around confidently while offering stability and support. Our testers loved how adjustable the wheels were depending on the little one's age. "The main adjustable feature of this walker is being able to slow down how quickly the rear wheels rotate. Some trial and error was involved in finding the right amount of braking for our daughter."

As for the interactive elements of this walker, there’s a wire rail with beads, a clicking spinner, a ‘scratchy’ button, four coloured recesses for corresponding coloured 3D shapes, a drum and four-bar xylophone with a pair of wooden mallets, spinning cogs, two-sided spinning mirror and a shape maze. We appreciate that thought has clearly been placed into spreading the different activities around the walker rather than focusing the majority of them on the front. "By far, our daughter's favourites are the xylophone and drum, followed by the cogs and bead rail. The only activity she doesn’t use is the clicking spinner as she isn’t currently strong enough to turn it herself." Says Chris.

Built to withstand climbs and knocks while providing hours of entertainment for little ones. Our mum tester, Georgia, loved how well it performed with her daughter. “My daughter is quite heavy-handed, and yet even after she had pushed this walker into tables and chairs and climbed all over it, there were no signs of breaking,” she said. 

Featuring over 70 activities, songs, and sounds, this fun walker encourages babies to take their first steps as well as engages them in interactive play. Mums particularly loved the bright colours, sturdy frame, and lights that kept their babies entertained, with Mum Kelly saying this feature makes it last longer. “It's interactive and very user-friendly, and around six months old, as they grow, they can explore different features, making it a very good lasting toy.” She said.  

While some mums noted that the price might be a bit high compared to similar products on the market, they loved how durable this walker was and how it grows with the child, accommodating different stages of development from sitting to standing and pushing. Mum tester Sarah also loved how easy it was to travel with and store away, commenting, “The ability to fold the walker after use makes storing and carrying the product very, very easy.”

There were only a few minor downsides our parent testers could identify such as clearer instructions and quieter wheels, with our mum tester Jules saying “I'd just make the instructions a little clearer and easier to understand. The product itself is great, but wheels can be quite noisy on our laminate flooring, though I can imagine children enjoying this feature.”

Doubling up as an activity centre and a game table, the detachable panel with shape recognition blocks, an electronic organ, colourful turntable gear, a rattle, and a detachable basketball frame help develop those fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, colour recognition, and shape identification.

This play centre can be used when sitting, walking, as an activity table or as hanging play for easier access. For the walking function, this walker comes with a weight box that you can put sand or water in to increase the weight of the walker to help avoid any falls with baby. 

Made from safe, non-toxic ABS material, this walker encourages your baby's first steps while helping to develop coordination and strength. Other safety features include the anti-slip rubber ring on the wheels to control speed and increase friction with the ground allowing you to fully control the speed your baby can move at. We also love the adjustable handle for your growing tot, triangular table for stability, plus an ergonomic design to promote a proper walking technique to avoid bow-legs. 

Although some testers found the quality wasn’t as good as other walkers, questioning the durability of the plastic, many liked this walker, with mum tester Zara particularly loving all the added safety functions that have been covered with this walker, commenting, “The table function is nice and steady and doesn't tip or collapse so it's perfectly safe. With the wheels on, the walker can be pushed via the handle to help steady baby and help teach them how to walk. I like that the wheels aren't overly flexible so that kids can't zoom around too quickly and end up falling over. The weight bottle on the back also helps with this.”

Offering both fun and walking support for your toddler, the Puggle In the Jungle Speedy 2 in 1 Baby Walker features a fun play tray with rattles, a toy bar, and a musical/light-up removable toy tray with 12 melodies to keep your little one engaged, providing an element of fun as they learn to walk.

We love how this walker folds flat for easy storage when not in use and the three adjustable height settings mean it can accommodate your baby's growth. Our parent testers also loved how easy it was to set up and how comfortable their child was in the spacious seat. It was also very easy to clean and maintain, thanks to the removable seat and wipeable plastic exterior. One of our parent testers said, "It’s so easy to fold away and pop up when needed. I also feel that it’s a comfortable fit for my baby with the soft seat and backrest so my child isn’t hurting themselves on the go. It is also easily cleaned as the seat can be removed and washed and the plastic exterior is easily wiped clean too."

Although there’s not as much going on in the form of entertainment and bright colours compared to other baby walkers, this is a brilliant baby walker for assisting your baby to gain independence when walking. 

The Puggle In The Jungle Speedy 2 in 1 Baby Walker was awarded Bronze for Best Baby Toy at the Mother&Baby Awards 2024.

This multi-functional baby walker offers four play modes - sit-down play, walker, pull-along wagon, and ride-on train - providing your tot with a variety of different activities to keep them entertained. Packed with features such as letter blocks, light-up piano keys, a turning book, and beads and cogs, it offers fun, interactive learning experiences.

While our parent testers loved how entertaining their children found this walker as well as the educational benefits it offers, some parents found it a little too loud and flashy. They did, however, love how easily it grows with their child, making it good value for money. Our mum tester, Jennifer, commented, “We considered ‘losing’ the batteries after five minutes. It’s very loud and flashy. He's a bit small for riding it, but it’ll grow with him, so it’s good value for money.” Another tester also noted that it doesn’t have steering capability, a feature our mum testers missed.

With four play modes including sit-down play, walker, pull-along wagon, and ride-on train, the Fisher-Price Learn With Me Zebra Walker offers a range of interactive activities to keep little ones entertained including light-up piano keys, turning book, beads, and cogs, providing hands-on learning opportunities.

Our parent testers were fans of this walker’s educational value and sturdy construction, but some were disappointed that it couldn’t easily fold away compared to other walkers on the market. They did, however, find it very easy to assemble and found it really helped their babies strengthen their legs and improve balance. Mum tester Harriet said, “I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone with a little one who is starting to move around. It is extremely easy to put up, only taking around five to ten minutes.” 

Compared to other walkers on the market, this one is particularly compact and lightweight, meaning it’s ideal for most house sizes as well as transporting to grandma’s house. Parents would have liked it more if it had the capacity to fold up too. Our testers also loved that it’s wipe-clean, something mum tester Harriet said ‘is essential with baby toys!’ and we couldn’t agree more.

Lightweight and stable, the Fisher-Price 2-Sided Steady Speed Baby Walker helps keep your baby entertained whilst sitting with the various activities, songs and sounds. With four wheels, our mum tester found her 9-month-old was confidently able to pull herself up to stand from sitting using the top bar without the walker falling on top of her. "She particularly loved posting the shapes into the holes on the side of the walker and moving the gear stick up and down whilst moving the steering wheel from side to side," mum tester Lauryn said.

Featuring 10+ busy hands-on activities, it also includes stimulating music and lights too. Little ones have the choice of either sitting and playing, or standing and finding their feet with this walker. It's designed to develop their motor, balance, coordination, movement, motion and problem-solving skills.

Smaller than other walkers on the market, it makes it easy to store, so it is ideal for homes with minimal storage. It's also at a more affordable price point compared to other models making it great value for money. Our mum tester, Lauryn, found it very easy to put the walker together thanks to the simple instructions. "It could, however, do with a screw to hold the top bar in place as it comes off when picking the walker up to put away." She added. Lauryn also adds that she would have liked options on the wheels to change the speed for early walkers as the walker does move quickly for those who are still a little unsteady. There is also no volume button, so it's very loud.

Designed to resemble a car for car-loving babies, the My Child Coupe Walker features a steering wheel, gear stick, lights, music, and a horn, to provide interactive entertainment to keep your child’s imagination engaged. It has two main functions - walk mode and rock mode and its able to adapt to your child's needs as they grow.

Parents appreciate this walker’s safety features, including the speed-restrictive wheels and a soft padded seat, ensuring your child will stay comfy as they move. The walker folds flat for easy storage, making it convenient for homes with limited space or if you’re travelling with the walker. 

The walker's supportive footpad and removable padded seat make cleaning and maintenance hassle-free for parents. Suitable for babies from 6 to 24 months, the seat is fully adjustable with three different options for different heights.

This lovely little baby walker set includes the Fisher-Price Princess Musical Walker and a cuddly Princess Chime Doll, ideal for imaginative play. This walker features a wide base and an easy-to-grasp handle for stability. Parent tester Debbie commented that it was ‘Great quality and very stable for walking.’ 

We love that as baby pushes the walker along, it plays fun music and the bright lights are activated, encouraging your little one to keep moving, making it great for their physical development, a feature parents found really helped children want to walk. 

This walker also features hands-on activities including beads and a flip book, to engage baby's senses and fine motor skills. Additionally, the included Princess Chime Doll is a  soft and cuddly companion for babies. Squeezing or shaking the doll produces sweet sounds, capturing little one’s attention and helping their auditory development.

For something that’s going to look stylish in the home while offering a fun way for your tot to learn how to walk, the Little Dutch Wooden Activity Walker is available in three charming themed designs - Little Farm, Sailors Bay, and Flowers and Butterflies - this walker is crafted from quality wood, providing a sturdy base for your little one's first steps.

Designed to stimulate their cognitive development, the walker features interactive features such as shape sorters, bead mazes, and gear wheels. These will help encourage your little one’s imagination, aiding both their physical and mental development in young children.

Not only do parents love its beautiful craftsmanship and functionality, with one parent noting its stability and effectiveness in supporting her little one’s first steps, parents also loved the noise-free plastic tracks within the wooden wheels, which ensure a peaceful playtime experience for parents and baby, while the rubber wheels protect your floors from scratches.

Designed for toddlers aged 12 months and older, it may take a little longer to assemble compared to other walkers and it’s on the bulkier side to store, but overall, parents loved the look and fun features of this walker.
