toddler

noun

A small child, usually between one and three years old, who can walk but is still a bit unsteady on their feet.

Example sentences

  • “The toddler wobbled across the room toward her mother.”
  • “Our toddler loves stacking blocks and then knocking them down.”

From the verb 'toddle', to walk with short unsteady steps, which is exactly what defines the age.
