Baby crawling toys?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The best toys for crawling babies are simple objects that encourage movement without keeping them passive. A light toy ball that can be pushed forward and makes sounds (rubber balls with bells inside are a good choice) increases baby's motivation to chase. Besides that, rolling cylindrical toys, tunnels (to crawl through), or a series of pillows or cushions (to crawl over) naturally develop crawling skills. One important point: we don't recommend baby walkers; they have a high fall risk and exercise different muscles instead of crawling muscles, potentially slowing development. Instead, a stationary push toy is a good transitional toy once baby starts standing. Age-appropriate, sharp-edge-free, and solid material construction is sufficient. Toys suitable for crawling babies need to be checked for safety and durability.
