Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, and it carries both meanings of the singular. Most often it names an age band: children of roughly one to three who walk but have not yet mastered it, the group a daycare places between babies and older children. Less often it describes anyone unsteady on their feet, so context decides whether toddlers are small children or simply people who wobble.
