How it works
- 1
First, let's get your child standing at the furniture. Gently help they stand up, facing the furniture with both hands holding on. Once they's steady, step back and give a big smile!

Now, let's encourage cruising sideways. Hold your child's favorite toy just out of reach along the furniture. Pat the spot next to it and say, 'Can you come get the toy?'

Let's try cruising forward now. Place the toy a little ahead on the furniture. Point to it and say, 'Let's walk to the toy!' Encourage your child to move toward it.

Now, let's make it a game! Place a few toys at different spots along the furniture. Say, 'Let's go on a treasure hunt!' Encourage your child to cruise to each one.
