14 month old not walk

Hi there,
My 14 months old son doesn't walk. How can I encourage him ? He is cruising around since 10 months. He can stand alone a bit. He can "walks" pushing stroller . Not alone. He prefers crawl. :(

Mine was similar. The tummy time is good for them! It isn't considered late until 18MO. Mine crawled and cruised from 8MO and didn't take first steps til 12MO and took til nearer 14MO to be exclusively walking. She just wasn't sold on it lol. She's excellent physically. Just turned 3 and can ride a pedal bike no stabilisers and can almost hop etc etc. I wouldn't push it. He'll walk when he has somewhere to go x

My little one was the exact same. Took first steps at 10 months refused to walk no matter what we tried. Then at 15 months decided to go for it out of nowhere and within 3 weeks was running and kicking a ball. Honestly don't worry about it, offer plenty of opportunity and encouragement and he will get there when his ready. X

My 14 and a half month old just took his first unaided steps yesterday. He is very cautious which is why he has taken so long as he has been cruising for ages. They just do it when they are ready.
