An infant walking aid (20) is provided for supporting an infant contained therein during a training exercise. The infant walking aid (20) is adapted to be grasped in one hand of an operator and allows the operator to maintain control. A harness mechanism (22) encloses and supports an infant. The harness mechanism (22) defines an interior envelope within which the infant is at least partially located. A first bar member (12) adapted to be grasped by an operator is secured to an upper section of the harness mechanism (22). A second bar member (13) is flexibly secured to the harness mechanism (22) and is adapted to be grasped by the infant during a training exercise for providing support. Second bar member (13) is located external to the interior envelope of the harness mechanism (22) and is displaceable with respect thereto by the infant during the training exercise. In this manner there is provided a safe and efficient support infant walking aid which can easily be handled by an adult operator and allows an optimized training of the infant.
