best push toy for a pulling up/cruising 9 month old and beyond . . .

[m448]

Please help me - he pulls up on anything (usually my sharp cornered coffee table)

We have the Fisher Price Stride to Ride walker. DD really emjoys it.

Nolan liked the FP Activity Walker, I think it's called. Similar to the LT version below. He did have some issues w/falling on it & with it early on, but used it to cruise & still enjoys pushing it at 12 1/2 mos.

We considered both of these and ended up getting the Little Tikes, mostly because of the price difference (less than $20 vs. $50-60)with the money we saved we got a great RF ride-on toy for after he's walking. But the walker wagon looks great. He doesn't love the LT for pushing, at least not yet, he likes to play with the stuff in the front so much that he doesn't like to stand behind it and push it. But it's a decent toy for the price, and a relatively safe-looking push toy.

My 5-month old really, really wants to pull up, but so far the only thing in the house that's the right height and graspable is the track for the shower doors along the top of the bathtub. I get bored sitting on the floor in the bathroom...

She needs something that holds still, though, she'll just fall right over with something with wheels. Do you suppose I could take the wheels off something?

She can't get a grip on the chairs.

At that age, we took a Leap Start Learning Table, put two legs on it and rested it on it's side for DD. She could sit in from of it and essentially climb the face of the table. Does that make sense? It was the first thing she climbed up on.

That does make sense, but last time we looked at the Leap Start stuff, DH and I felt we were likely to be driven mad by it.

However, that did give me an idea, and DD is blissfully clinging to the leg of a dining room chair I lay down on its back. It's not perfect but as long as I'm right here it works for her to stand with.

My DS loves this toy!
