Outdoor gifts Hadiah untuk bermain di luar
Malaysia has parks, padang and taman paths, and plenty of sunshine between the rain. Outdoor gifts get children moving, and many sleep better after a busy day.
For any gift with wheels, the helmet is part of the gift.

Push-along walker (the kind a child stands behind)
0 to 2 years Rough price: RM100 to RM200
The dream: The first walk across the room on their own two feet.
What it teaches: Balance and first steps, with a little help. Many push walkers also have blocks or beads on the front for sit-down play.
Safety check Choose a walker that a child stands behind and pushes. Children's doctors advise against seated walkers that a baby sits inside. A wide base and slow wheels help stop it rolling away too fast. Keep it away from stairs, and watch every walk.
What to look for Wheels with adjustable resistance, or rubber rims for tiled floors. A handle at the child's chest height. A front panel of activities for days when walking is not the plan.
