"Great price, recommended brand, little tike likes it" | 2009-11-18 |

| I got this for my 7 month nephew b/c he's getting to a place where he can't walk yet but wants to explore and has strong enough leg motions. My sister and brother in law already likes this brand, Safety 1st, a lot and owns other things by them. The price at Amazon was the best. Sound-making toys can be annoying but I love the music and variety on this walker... reminds me of an ice cream truck... whimsical and pleasant. The music player piece detaches from the walker for easier cleaning and for tabletop sort-of room when wanted. Nephew enjoys it; and I can't wait until he fully grasps puttering around all over in it. |

| it definitely chaper than any other walker, but product itself is cheap too...if you are looking for just simple what your baby will ride on for short time, it is alright to try this but if you are looking for something nicer this isn:"t it at all.. it is cheap with not working lights from the begining.. |

"Great walker, my daughter loves it after using it daily for 3 mos!" | 2009-10-25 |

| This was a hand me down from my sister. She used it with her boys, and its still in great condition for my daughter. She started using it at 6 mos and has been using it daily for 3 months. As another reviewer said - she loves her freedom! And I love being able to get more things done while she explores. But, I agree, the batteries are hard to change. She uses it more to walk than play with the sound and light feature though, so it doesn't bother me, still well worth the $35 price seen here. |

"~*~*~*~Great for a "cheap" walker, my twins LOVE them~*~*~*~" | 2009-10-07 |

I don't understand why so many people are giving these a negative review(I'll address those in a minute) because my girls LOVE these & play in them EVERY single day, several times a day.
We first got these when my girls were 7 months old(see my pics posted above) & both of them were small for their age, my smallest was about 25" & she was able to push heself backward the very 1st time in these. I put tennis shoes on both girls since we were using them outside and that really helped them touch better & give good traction. At first they didn't realize they could move themselves in these, that happened on accident and soon enough both girls realized they could push themselves backward. Learning to go forward took a couple of weeks but once they learned that they were even happier with these. My girls can "drive" super fast in these, they zoom all over in these laughing & squealing with delight. They love to run into things with these, including eachother...like a demolition derby but even when they are speeding & bump into eachother all they do is crack up laughing.
Now to address some of the negative reviews that I have read.
*there are a lot saying that this was too tall for their baby but I find that hard to believe considering my smallest was about 25"(5th%) when I 1st put her in this. And she is still less than 27" but I've put it on the higest setting(just to test) and she is still able to touch and get around. I think most babies have to 'learn' to use a walker so that may be why people think it is too tall...give them a little time to figure out what this new device is that you've put them in and soon enough they'll figure out what to do.
*I've read it was cheaply made. Well my girls have played in these a LOT, they run into eachother, couches, etc. and nothing has broken, fallen off or worn out. These are really sturdy in my opinion. Plus, I don't understand why people are buying one of the cheapest walkers available and then complaining it is cheaply made...Um, buy the much more expensive Chicco...it's like buying a Cavalier & complaining because it isn't as nice as a Volvo.
*I've read you can't change the batteries. There are several people on here who have explained exactly how you can change the batteries. My girls used their music/lights a lot in the beginning and 4 months later they are still going strong although they don't turn it on a whole lot anymore, they like driving around more than anything.
*I've read the toys aren't that fun. My girls have liked the provided toys from the beginning. Plus I added more toys/teething toys for them which is a very simple solution if your child doesn't enjoy the provided toys.
*There is one nutty person who hates all walkers in general, thinks they are unsafe so they would give all walkers a bad review, they just happened to get this one as a gift...and to show a thank you to the person who got it for them they said they hope the person who gave it to them would never have kids...can you say Crazy!!
All in all this walker is great for the money. I also love that the toy tray removes completely...if it were like one of the ones that stay attached and open for snacks they would be able to touch the toys and get food all over them. We also use these as seats when we visit people...since they've outgrown their bouncers, we can put them on carpet in these and they have a safe and lovely seat or if on hard surfaces and we don't want them rolling about we just put something like a blanket under them so they can't roll.
If you have lots of extra money to spend then buy the Chicco, since it is almost double the cost of this one I'm sure it probably is much nicer, plus I think the colors of the Chiccos are better. BUT if you like to save money and still want something that works just fine then buy this Safety 1st.

"She loves her freedom." | 2009-09-20 |

Pro's: This is the greatest. I purchased this when my daughter was almost 5 months old. Great price, easy to put together. She loves her freedom. We love the fact that it folds up for storage and to take along to Grandma's house. The baby can chase after everyone and it entertains her. We all get a kick out of her in it. We let her chase us and call her over to us. It's wonderful. She also doesn't have to be held all the time and she loves it. It's like a little independance for the baby. It's fun for her and fun for us to watch. Great produce, and I do recommend it to my friends.
Con's: The music is loud and its a pain in the butt to change the batteries on this. The height was a problem at first, its too high, "But" Its worth it. |

"What more do you want?" | 2009-08-13 |

| We got this product for our 10 months old daughter after looking around. It was the only affordable option available considering how long she is going to need that. We have no regrets at all... at first, she used it to play around with the lights and music and used it to just stand up and eat. In a day or so she figured out how to use it to walk around and all the toys took a back seat. We used the tray in front to feed her all the time. Basically after a kid starts maneuvering it they want to go after the stuff around the house and toys not-so-much! I have no complaint whatsoever... i didn't give it five stars because maybe there are products better than this but really no reason to do so. |
