Here are details of some of the most popular baby walkers on the market.

If you are thinking about buying a baby walker, check out our How to Choose and Buy a Baby Walker page for some helpful hints and tips on what to look out for.

VTech - First Steps Baby Walker

The VTech “First Steps Baby Walker” follows the design of the traditional wooden baby walkers but adds in a little electronic flair.

Babies will learn about letters, numbers, animals, words, colours and shapes. Baby just needs to hold onto the sturdy handle and start pushing.

Chicco - UFO Baby Walker

The Chicco “UFO Baby Walker” has swivel wheels and an adjustable seat with three positions. Baby sits in the centre of the baby walker in a cockpit which has twinkling lights, musical sounds and a horn.

The Chicco “UFO Baby Walker” should only be used when baby can sit unaided.

Chicco - Baby Steps Activity Walker

The “Baby Steps Activity Walker” from Chicco responds to baby's movements. When baby starts to walk, the baby walker plays music and when baby stops, the music stops.

Baby can play games using the integrated activity centre while they toddle about.

The Chicco “Baby Steps Activity Walker” needs 2 AA batteries so have some more to hand.

Mothercare - 5-in-1 Super Fabric Trekker

The Mothercare “5-in-1 Super Fabric Trekker” will help baby through five stages of their development:

• If baby starts using it at six months, it's a baby rocker with an activity bar that includes a squeaky button and gear stick.
• At eight months, the “Super Fabric Trekker” converts to become a walk about with a parent handle and footrest.
• When baby is ten months it's recommended that the “Super Fabric Trekker” becomes a push-along walker.
• At 12 months baby has a ride-on with the parent handle.
• Finally, it becomes a ride-on with the parent handle removed.

The Mothercare “5-in-1 Super Fabric Trekker” has a padded seat and an electric horn with three different sounds.
