crawlers

Babies not walking

Crawlers is the plural of crawler—something that crawls.

A crawler is a baby who hasn't yet learned to walk, an insect or other creature that moves close to the ground, or a vehicle that moves on continuous tracks rather than wheels.

In computing, crawlers are programs that systematically browse the internet to index content for search engines: Google's crawlers scan billions of pages.

Crawlers can also be a one-piece infant garment.
