Sit/stand/ride toy recommendations

So grandparents are already asking about gift ideas for LO for Christmas. We live in a fairly small home, and I really hate clutter. This makes me want to be strategic about what toys we tell them she would like. Since by Christmas she will be almost 6 months, I have been looking at toys that can grow with her. That way we get more bang for our buck when it comes to saving space.
I was looking into toys that can be used when sitting, standing, and possibly even as an early walking toy. There seem to also be some cool looking combination ride on toys. I would like it to be something that can be used for cognitive and physical advancement. There seem to be so many options and brands. It's a little overwhelming. Has anyone heard about or have any experience with anything in particular.
Any other cannot live without toy suggestions are appreciated too!

DS1 loved this toy but I know it did not cost $100 when my mom bought it for him.

We got the v-tech walker with DS1, and TBH it was kind of disappointing. As a sitting toy, it's ok. As a standing and walking toy, it was not so great. It's super light, so even with the wheels on the setting that gives resistance when pushing, it just slid across our floors. DS would pretty much faceplant as soon as he tried to take a step. Plus the electronic part of it shorted out before it was a year old. The activity table worked out better for us.
