Anything I can buy to help baby pull to stand?

My DS has started when we are on the floor he can pull himself up on my legs to standing and when we are at his Nans he can do it on her sofa. However at my house our sofas are way too high for him to grab so wondering if there is something other than the push along walkers? Will the play circle / shapes from Smyths help? Thank you

Any thing expensive or breakable that you don't want to them to touch?!

Coffee tables, the sofa and delivery boxes are what my daughter used

I used to use a dining room chair......or something similar. Once they start though......😁

He'll figure it out for himself pretty soon. I'm not sure I'd waste my money.

You could get a wee water table for Christmas with the bits on top. Keep it indoors. You get the multi use sand water type ones and my 5 year olds still play with it outside now.

Mine started pushing a large cardboard box and had little interest in walkers...

Cardboard box, coffee table, dining chair led down, edge of a bed, side of bath. You don't need to buy anything, they get the hang of it!

Why do you need to do anything? Is there a medical issue found?

They learn on their own, no need to buy anything. They all get on their feet eventually, unless there's a medical reason why they don't.

I’d agree with not wasting your money. Within a week or 2 he’ll have it figured out and you’ll be wondering why you bothered.

I’d spend the time and money baby proofing anything you haven’t though and moving the cot down to the lowest level. You don’t want to find he’s mastered it and cruising by him getting into something he shouldn’t.

Thank you all appreciate the advice and I will wait it out, seems everything in my living room is too high for him to get a grab on at the minute.

and thank you @RafaistheKingofClay I lowered the cot after your comment

For pulling up - a large sturdy cardboard box (about their chest height when standing) with the flaps folded in and half filled with heavy books/other items.
Flaps folded inwards for strength and so they can get their fingers over the edge of the box. Books so it’s heavy enough not to slide away.
