Baby walkers come in push-behind and sit-in styles, and vary tremendously in stability, durability, safety, style, versatility, and FUN! Most similar to exersaucers in overall design, a walker adds the element of mobility by allowing your child to scoot around the home.
Every year we pull together new releases and improved models, putting them through extensive hands-on testing. The top 5 walkers are ranked below, followed by detailed reviews of several different options.

At the most basic safety level, be sure all stairways and steps are blocked by a closed door or one of our awesome baby gates, and nothing is reachable on counters or tables.

Here are the Best Baby Walkers of 2021!
1. Joovy Spoon Baby Walker.
Usually about $90, available in several colors. This top-rated baby walker takes on the classic form of a traditional sit-in baby walker, but with some excellent features and style. When we took it out of the packaging, we were surprised at two things: first, how lightweight it was (only about 12 pounds), and second, how it folded up into a pretty thin format that could slide right under the bed for storage. Popping it open was easy, and the walker takes on a pretty sleek and stylish shape and size. We liked the simple colors and contemporary lines, without compromising on features. The tray was large and wrapped around the side of the baby, which should increase safety by making it harder for your baby to reach to things to their right or left (like grabbing something off the coffee table or TV stand). What's also cool about the tray is that it includes a removable insert (like some of the best high chairs) that can be popped off and cleaned easily, and thrown right into the dishwasher (if you can fit it in!). The baby seating surface is soft and plush, and easy to wipe clean or remove for machine washing; the fabric is high quality, and we didn't notice any color bleeding or shrinkage. Once your baby is sitting in the walker, it has three height adjustments to help make sure your baby's little feet can actually reach the floor (or the play mat), and can support babies up to 30 pounds. The rolling/gliding action was smooth and our test babies didn't seem to have any difficulty getting this to move on hardwood, tile, or linoleum floors. Carpets were a challenge of course, though thin-pile rugs or berber carpets were generally fine.
