Need Toy Ideas for Child Pulling Up

Updated on October 16, 2006

My 8 month old little girl has started pulling herself up to standing on all available surfaces. Now that she knows how to do it she wants to be standing all the time and her toys aren't meeting her needs. She also loves it when we hold her hands and she walks around the room. I'm looking for a toy that she can stand on/with and have fun stationary or walking around. She does cruise a little bit and we've caught her letting go to stand on her own. Any ideas would be appreciated.

What can I do next?

here are some of the things that my son loved when he was pulling up.

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn: Musical Learning Chair. My son LOVES this toy and he would pull up and sit then get down then back up and so on. This was SO worth the money I am so glad we got it for him and he plays with it every day.

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn: Learning Table. He also plays with this EVERY day and I got it because a friend told me that when her son started to pull up she got it for him and it just inspired him to stand and walk much more.

And then what the previous poster said, that Laugh and Learn home. It is just so entertaining even I find myself playing with it!
Also, maybe a rocking toy of some sort like that blue rocking doggie- I think little tykes makes it.It will probably help with balance and coordination.

My youngest son (now 12) walked at 9 months! I could not believe it. We used walkers (now not available!) but he also used to walk with a toy from Fisher Price, it was wide (about 18 inches) and had 2 large wheels, with a good handle. It was very sturdy. The front had all kinds of activities, when he got tired, he would sit down and play with it. I found this online, similiar, but mine did not have the seat.

My son absolutely loves the learning home. He is 2 1/2 and still plays with it. One of the learning tables might be a good idea. Not sure how sturdy they are, but seems they would be made sturdy enough for pulling up. There is also a big block made with peek-a-blocks which has activities on 4 sides. Seems it would be tall enough for her to pull her self up and stand and play. I couldn't find it on the Toys R Us website, but I am sure you could find it at a store. Hope this helps.

**I do have to add that my son absolutely loved the Learning chair the other post mentioned. That would be great since she can sit down on it as well.
