Levi Brailsford let himself out of the back passenger door of a family member's car after unclipping himself from his car seat as it turned into Stockwood Lane on May 11.
His family have since been petitioning the Government to make the use of child locks compulsory.
They have been asking people to sign an online petition, which so far has 163 signatures.
The family also wants to keep the two-year-old's memory alive and to raise money for Great Western Air Ambulance, which came to his aid after the incident.
Family friend Caprice Neale came up with the idea of a sponsored walk, which took place on Saturday.
As well as raising money for the charity, it will also help to pay for Levi's headstone in South Bristol Cemetery.
Caprice, 15, said: "I was so upset when I heard what happened to Levi, I just wanted to help the family any way I could."
A big crowd turned up to support the family during the four-and-a-half mile walk from Castle Park in the city centre to the Concorde Pub in Stockwood.
Levi's mother Andrea Brailsford, 29, told the Post: "Around 100 people joined the walk – we had family and friends taking part as well as people who just came to support us.
"The weather stayed dry and although the walk was tiring we kept thinking of Levi."
The family will be holding another fundraising event at the Concorde pub on July 21. The charity night will include an auction and raffle with some great prizes on offer.
