If your toddler is still learning to walk, push-and-pull toys are perfect for her. These toys build on the skills she may already have developed, such as pushing herself up from the floor and pulling herself into a standing position. The next big one is walking, and this is where push-and-pull toys come in. Holding a push toy will give your toddler something to support and guide her as she walks. It will help her learn to look ahead to make sure that she avoids obstacles. This will boost her confidence and encourage her to be more coordinated as she gets around.

Holding a push toy will give your toddler something to support and guide her
as she walks. It will help her learn to look ahead to make sure that she avoids
obstacles. This will boost her confidence and encourage her to be more
coordinated as she gets around.
 When will my toddler be able to use push-and-pull toys?

2. At about 15 months old, your toddler may be able to push a sturdy toy with
wheels, such as a trolley with blocks. She'll need to be on a level floor to do
this, though.
At 18 months old, your toddler may enjoy using her new-found skill by
helping you out with housework. For example, she may push a toy broom
along the floor.
Using a pull toy is more complicated than using a push toy. Your toddler will
need to hold her arm behind her and she'll want to look back now and then to
check on her toy. Meanwhile, she'll also need to make sure that she doesn't
bump into anything. She won't get it right all of the time, so be on standby to
give lots of cuddles and comfort if she has a bump.
By 2 years old, your toddler will have had lots of practice at pushing and
pulling. She will be able to push and pull her blocks trolley easily. She will pull

3. small toys, such as a pull-along dog on wheels, while keeping a steady path.
 How can I encourage my toddler to try out pushing and pulling?
Your toddler will love to imitate you. So any toy version of something she's
seen you using will be popular. Sometimes, even your cats also can teach
your baby, here is a video showing this interesting thing:

A toddler-sized plastic shopping trolley or wheelbarrow is ideal, especially as
your toddler can fill and empty it - another favourite toddler activity.
Once she's got her sense of balance and is getting around on her feet, give
her an animal pull-toy to take for walks. Your toddler will especially like toys
that make noises and bob up and down as she drags them. They will also
help her to practise keeping her balance, even while she's distracted.
 What Benefits of Using Push Toys and Pull Toys

4. Push Toys
Your child will probably enjoy using a push toy. If she's just beginning to walk,
holding a push toy will give her something to guide and lead her naturally into
the habit of looking ahead, avoiding obstacles, and maneuvering. She'll
probably enjoy pushing anything that serves as a push toy. Something with
pop-up balls or wooden cut-outs that spin while she walks may fascinate her,
but she may spend long periods just pushing an empty milk crate around the
kitchen.
If the toy has wheels, it will move more smoothly, particularly on a carpet.
Some of the many push toys available include wheelbarrows, strollers, and
shopping carts.
Pull Toys

5. Using a pull toy is more complicated than using a push toy. Instead of just
looking and moving forward, your child has to hold her arm back and look
back to make sure her toy is still there. Meanwhile, she'll also be moving
forward and looking for a clear route.
Your child will probably love pulling things. There are many pull toys on the
market, including little animals on wheels and wagons. Nothing should be on
the end of the pull string that could tangle to form a loop.
 Safety Tips on How to Teach Babies
1. Help Strengthen Back Muscles

6. Normally, we believe that leg muscles are the crucial muscles that help us to
walk. This is not absolutely true because the muscles that have the central
role in letting us walk are our back muscles. In order to strengthen back
muscles, parents should encourage movement of head and neck by showing
things that catch their interest. Another thing parents can do is to make their
babies lie on their stomachs. All these activities will teach babies muscle
control, and make them start to walk more quickly.
2. Practice Coordination
Balance is also of significant importance while walking. You can start your
baby on coordination and balance practice after she is able to sit up. The best
thing to do is to have a ball and roll it towards and away from your baby, which
will encourage your baby to keep his balance while moving forward and back,
and while moving from one side to the other.
3. Engage Your Baby in Games
You baby can learn to walk if you make him play fun games and involve him in
interesting activities. You may play a chasing game in which you crawl to
chase your crawling baby. In this way, he will learn to crawl faster and learn to
better control his hands and legs.
4. Encourage Attempts at Reaching for Things
Doctors say that a baby’s ambition to walk and reach for things contributes a
lot to his walking skills. You can place some of your baby’s favorite toys on a
path and make him see them. You would have to support him on the way to
make sure that your baby’s interest in the catching game remains alive.
5. Activate Cruise Control
Your baby might be able to stand, but he might be fearful of falling. You can
alleviate his fears by placing furniture in the path where he is supposed to
walk. You can also help your baby by offering him your hand. If you are
placing furniture in your baby’s path, you must make sure that all those things
do not have sharp lining and edges.
6. Learn to Assist Your Baby’s Walking
It is important that you know how to assist your child when he starts to walk.
Initially, you must support your child above the ribs. When he has become
stable, you should support the baby around the hips to ensure his core

7. muscles remain strong and stable.
7. Try Push or Pull Toys
You can provide your baby with toys or objects which can help him stand up.
As soon as he starts standing on his own without much assistance, his
confidence will rise and so will his ability to walk. Push or pull toys can play a
big part at this stage. Push and pull toys make your baby learn to move and
keep balance. Such toys normally reward your baby by playing music or
producing light while they are moving.
8. Go Barefoot
Babies walk easily barefoot, because their feet can grip the surface far more
easily when left bare, as compared to when they are wearing socks and
shoes. While socks and shoes are very important when the surface is cold,
your child may find it hard to walk with them. Also, weird-looking shoes might
not let your child concentrate on walking. When the baby wears shoes, you
should check the baby’s feet frequently to see for irritated surfaces, and
remove those shoes if you find any.
The baby would learn by himself when it is time to take his first baby steps,
and thus you shouldn’t force the baby to walk at any stage no matter how
eager you are to see him walk. You can obviously help the child strengthen
his leg muscles by some simple measures like putting him on his back,
bouncing him on the lap, and making him push your hands with his legs.
