baby walker
Toddler cruising frame
A baby walker is a wheeled frame with a suspended seat that allows infants to move around before they can walk independently.
The child sits in the seat with feet touching the floor and propels the device by pushing with their legs.
Despite the name, pediatricians note that baby walkers don't help babies learn to walk and may actually delay development—they're really about mobility and entertainment while caregivers attend to other tasks.
