LO would pull up on anything/anyone within reach! He was non-discriminatory. haha.

We have a soft bench as out ottoman in the living room, that was her go-to!

She is trying the most on the coffee table but she even uses us when we're sitting down next to her. But we also have activity tables and the tech sit to stand walker.

We have a single step between our kitchen and sunroom and we have a twin mattress set up as a floor bed in her room, those two were both the first things she "pulled up" on. The lower height really helped her develop the muscles well and we didn't have much of that awful phase where they don't know how to get down because she had practiced at a lower height.

We also have a toy cube which is a great height and those baby play tables are great. I also saw a suggestion for issuing the outside of the exersaucer but she actually still has a hard time with that even though she can use walls to stand up. Beyond that she uses the usual suspects, coffee table, couch, dining chairs.

We had a music table that I took the legs off of when they were little. When I put the legs back on they both liked to pull up on it to get to the buttons that made music. Also, my DS never pulled himself up until we put up our baby jail/gate in the living room. The first time I left the kids in it while I went to the bathroom, he started screaming and pulled himself right up like it was magic. He was unstoppable after that. My kids used the little push Walker things, but they weren't greater for the initial pulling up stage because the walkers were unsteady and they would flip it over, especially if they were both trying to pull up on the same one. Eta: I forgot - Alice's first time pulling up was actually on my arm - she wanted to get to the bowl of ice cream in my hand!
