At what age is a child likely to pull themselves to stand using furniture?

A child is typically expected to pull themselves up to stand using furniture around the age of one year. This developmental milestone is part of the broader range of motor skills that children develop as they mature. By this age, most children have acquired the strength and coordination necessary to pull themselves up from a sitting position while holding onto stable furniture, such as a sofa or coffee table.

Around one year, many children also begin to explore standing independently and may start taking their first steps while using furniture for support. This phase showcases the progression from crawling to standing, reinforcing their ability to move and explore their environment further.

Earlier milestones, such as at six months, are generally focused on strengthening upper body muscles and trying to sit up independently. By two years and three years, children demonstrate more advanced mobility skills, including walking, running, and climbing, rather than just pulling to stand. Thus, one year is considered the appropriate age for this developmental milestone.
