Hi
Was just wondering if any one could recommend a low table and chair or gymball for my 14monther.
Have had some physio for him as he is not mobile yet, and they've suggested we get them to help strengthen his muscles. The table needs to be low enough so he can practice kneeling and then sitting up.
Want to order ASAP to get him started ASAP, so rather than trawl the shops was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

In the mean time you can try kneeling against an upturned cardboard box or a low sofa?

hi, if you look on my profile there is a photo of my son crouching opn his push along walker. it is great because it has two lift up lids at different levels with blocks inside. as you can see, it has encouraged my ds to kneel and the climb Hmm. but under the push along handle tehre are 2 rows of toys that also encourage the child to reach up and then to stand. we got ours off ebay.

I got a gymball from chiropractor for my DD who had problems developing mobility. We also did loads of kneeling which helped strengthen muscles.

I had a really solid push along walker (link below) which didn't tip over when she pulled herself up on it - she would practice for hours pulling up on it!
