toddle

Stagger like two

To toddle is to walk with short, unsteady steps, as a young child does when first learning to walk: The baby toddled across the room.

By extension, toddle describes any unhurried, casual movement: I'll toddle off to bed now.

A toddler is a child at the toddling stage, roughly one to three years old.
