My husband and I saw this walker when our son was just born and decided we would buy it for his 1st Christmas. My in-laws insisted they buy it, but at the time they thought it would not be appropriate or enjoyable. At Christmas our son was 7 months old and had been trying to walk for the past month. He loved his gift. It gave him the freedom he desired. He pushes it from one end of the house to the other. The wagon only goes 1 way, so he when he would get caught he would give a little hoot for us to turn him around, but then he just shifted himself to be able to push the wagon in reverse.
My 1 year old loves this wagon. He has already taken a few steps with it. He loves to take off the wooden sides and climb into it...especially practicing getting in and out while standing. It seems very sturdy and safe and my husband put it together easily and quickly. The only thing I would change is that I wish the wheels turned better going around corners. But that's such a small thing compared to the other great features. I imagine he will love putting his toys in here and pushing them around for a long time to come!
THIS WAS HARDER TO PUT TOGETHER THAN I THOUGHT. THE CLEAR CLICKER SHOULD HAVE HAD A HOLE DRILLED IN IT SO THAT THE SCREW WOULD HAVE GONE INTO IT. AS IT IS, MINE WILL NOT HAVE THE CLICKER AS IF BROKE WHILE HOLDING IT STILL TO INSTALL THE SCREW.
This is not the first grandchild to receive this specific gift. It's steady enough that the child can use it to pull up to a standing position. And its appeal doesn't stop after the child has learned to walk. Multiple children in the family? They will dream up games to play. It is, primarily, a learn to walk toy. The other roles are a plus.
