What to Look for in a Push Toy
Age-appropriate: While a push toy is a helpful tool for kids learning to walk, if it’s too advanced for their developmental stage they may get frustrated and avoid playing with it. Always read the manufacturer guidelines to ensure that the toy is suitable for your child’s age.
Quality construction: Opt for a toy that is sturdy and well made. Push toys should have a handle or bar that baby can hold onto and a weighted base to prevent it tipping over during playtime. If it has movable parts, make sure that they are securely attached and larger than your child’s mouth to reduce the risk of choking.
Height: If the handlebar is too high, baby won’t be able to get a good grip on it. Check out the height and width to make sure it’s the right size before making a purchase.
Wheels: Look for push toys with easy-to-roll wheels, especially if you have carpet. If you’re worried about your little one picking up speed, opt for a push toy with brakes.
