Shoes
Lots of color options! Cute and affordable!
Munchkin by Stride Rite Miller Casual Sneaker - Walmart.com
These are currently mine and my daughter’s favorite!
Munchkin by Stride Rite Baby Girl Peyson Bow T-Strap Dress Shoe - Walmart.com
Good boot option that still has flexible sole and heel support!
Wonder Nation Baby & Toddler Girls Faux Fur Shearing Boot - Walmart.com
Love that these are good for development, cute, and affordable! Also one of the few options that are smaller sizes.
Munchkin by Stride Rite Mars Baby Sneaker - Walmart.com
Walkers
Good support for early walking. The handles being in the center helps avoid tip toe walking
Fisher-Price 2-Sided Steady Speed Walker
My daughter loves this one. This is on the bigger side for walkers so I would recommend the other options if you’re tight on space.
Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn 3-In-1 On-The-Go Camper
I try and always get toys that will grow with her so this is a great option for long use.
Laugh & Learn Sit Stride & Serve Food Cart
Might seem silly but filling tubs and letting your little one push them around the house is also a great way to support walking!
Sterilite Large Storage Bin, 66 Quart Clear Plastic Storage Container with Latch Lid, Blue - Walmart.com
Laundry baskets are a great dual purpose item! Let your little push the basket around the house. Leave that load you haven’t fold yet in there for some extra weight 😂
Laundry Basket White - Brightroom™: Polypropylene, Portable, Built-In Handles, 13.9 Volume, 27.57" L, 18.83" W, 9.74" H
Outdoor must haves
We have a concrete patio so I was nervous about our little falling. I addd two of these style mats to give a little cushion for all the stumbles.
Infantino Go Gaga! Foldable Soft Foam Mat
I also added a yoga mat in the higher traffic areas. For me it was in front of the door. Make sure you put a door mat on top though they get slippery when playing with water!
Premium Fitness Yoga Mat 15mm Black - All In Motion™: Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, Solid Pattern
An option for on top of the yoga mat.
1'6"x2'6" Gateway Utility Doormat Charcoal - Mohawk: Skid-Resistant Outdoor Floor Mat, Low Pile, Recycled Rubber
Another option for the mats. Get the cheaper ones for outside since they will get weather damage. This worked really well under the water tables set up two for her to practice between them during summer.
Foldable Baby Play Mat, Safe Foam 47x47 in Waterproof Cute Playmat for Babies and Toddlers Indoor and Outdoor
