Even though our first daughter loved the toy tray several years ago, ours is long gone. One of the best features about this walker is that it is very useful without the toy tray. All of my 3 children preferred it without the toy tray. Our version has a tray with a clear plastic window, and my children loved to look through and see what was below. I don't know if this newest version is similar. My walker is in reds and blues.

I have used this walker with all of our 3 children, and except for the toy tray, the walker is still in excellent shape. It was great for me because big sister would help baby by giving her cheerios or her toy or sippy cup that she dropped off of the tray. This was a fun game that kept them both entertained! I kept my brakes on most of the time, and mostly used this as a place to put baby when I needed to keep her safe. I used it mostly while cooking or loading the dishwasher, but I also used it to keep baby occupied while I took a shower too. I could bring it in the bathroom with me, and keep an eye on baby.

This is one of the few baby items that I have kept over the years, when others have been long gone and mostly unused. I love this walker. I like it that the tray is easy to clean, and that the seat cover is removable and washable. I also loved it that the height is adjustable.

I researched walkers for a while. The latest model walker bottoms seem to be too large and lengthy, however this one isn't. I really like this walker because it has the vibrant colors and it's adjustable. Some of the walkers are adjustable but I found that there are some that just didn't adjust enough for my son. He's kind of short. It also rolls well on carpet. The only thing I don't like about this walker is the toys suck.

DID ALL MY RESEARCH WHEN LOOKING TO PURCHASE A WALKER FOR MY 9 MTH OLD DAUGHTER. EVERY REVIEW I READ REGARDING THIS WALKER WAS POSITIVE. THIS WALKER IS TRULY EXCELLENT, RUNS OVER THE CARPET PERFECTLY, IS VERY STEADY AND EASY TO ADJUST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS WALKER TO ANYONE.

You'll need to take off the white safety stoppers, but then it works great on carpet. My son even takes it over rugs. Safety shouldn't be an issue if you install baby gates and properly supervise your kid. It works for bigger babies, too. My 8 mo. old weighs 25 lbs. and he's got a little extra room in the seat. People have complaints about the entertainment tray, but I think that's a secondary issue. My baby likes the little stuffed animals on the tray, but is more interested in getting around and exploring his surroundings.

I am a big fan of Graco walkers, this being the 4th one I have owned. All of them have had the same overall design, but just with different tray toys & colors. I would have to say that this is my lease favorite. I'll get to why...

The design of the walker itself it a brilliant design. What I like best about it is the fact that it is all heavy duty plastic...no metal, or metal-like parts (makes it lighter, neater looking, and less dangerous). It's wheels go nicely over hard surface flooring without leaving marks, but leaves something to be desired for carpet. It you remove the white rubber stripping on the bottom of the walker, it goes a lot better on the carpet. I don't recommend doing this if you have stairs because this rubber strip is to help prevent it from going down carpeted stairs...but I only use my downstairs so I don't have to worry about it (plus you can reattach them if needed).

It adjusts in 3 different heights that I feel are perfectly spaced out for little ones learning to walk. It is also fairly easy to adjust. Assembly is a snap and you pretty much don't need the instructions. It does come apart for storage, but you have to disassemble it (no folding option).

Now, why I gave this only 2 stars. Would have been 1 star, but the design won it an additional one. The toys on this tray absolutely SUCK! They are stuffed animals that don't do anything. It claims to be an interactive tray, but I can't get it to do anything but play a lame song only when I first turn it on. I don't like that you can't wash them either. The tray does snap on and off easily, but whats the good of snapping it on if it sucks so bad? The colors are not as vibrant as they look in the picture. I hate when baby toys are made to match what the parents find "visually appealing" because babies like bright and crazy colored things...black, white, red, yello...those things...not soft neutral colors like this. The toys are designed more for an infant learning to sit rather than a little one learning to walk.

Graco had another walker that was my favorite of all of them. It had a steering wheel, a shifter-like thing, a mirror...all in bright colors with lights and a mirror. THAT was a good design Graco...this one, not so much.

This is exactly what we were looking for. We had an older model and wanted another for our twins. It disassembles easily for packing into a car. It is very durable and cleans easily. We use it indoors and outdoors. The entertainment table has nice animals but they did not easily interface with the child. You have to pull hard on the animals to make them do anything and it is so low and inconsistent that the child becomes bored with it. We usually remove it and use the table for Cheerios or other toys anyway.

This items works better if you have tiles in your home, majority of my house is carpet so its hard for my son to move around. He usually just stays in one place on carpet, but if he is on tiles he can move around more. The look is very nice. He likes the toys and the sounds that come with the walker. I purchased another one that was cheaper and works better.

First, I'm surprised that no one else has commented on how funny the Elephant sound is. My husband and I cracked up when we first heard it. :D

Our son likes to sit and play for a bit in this walker. He's just shy of 6 months old. It keeps him entertained for about 20 minutes on average. The teether hanging from a ribbon he forgets about because it hangs over the edge. He likes to chew it when I remind him it's there. The giraffe is pretty useless because it doesn't move. It's a bobble head which doesn't really entertain him much. The rings around the giraffe's neck are useless as well because they don't have room to move. They only spin in circles which my little one isn't quite coordinated enough to do just yet.

Improvements:

1. More notch adjustments and less space in between each one
2. Lights! I believe every child's toy should have lights
3. Better songs with higher bit-rate/quality
4. A speaker on the left and right of the activity center for balance

It is funny for the audio that the activity center has it sounds like the designer kind of rushed it. My husband is a sound engineer/designer for music producers and has standards that aren't too high to be met. I mean paying $60+ for a product, you think you could get good quality sound. Audio and visual synced together is what could make it a real activity center. Will it be fixed? Most likely not because Graco is still making lots of profits from it with the crappy sound quality. I think that's my biggest pet peeve, all baby toys have CRAPPY sound quality.

My brother-in-law, who works for Freescale, has told me that it only costs $2 for a DVD quality audio chip which can significantly improve this product.

Overall a decent product but I would not recommend it.

I bought this for my 7 month daughter. Wasn't too impressed by the sound features as there is not much music to it. So I think it's overpriced ($69.99) for something that doesn't do too much other than act as a walker. The colors and print are cute but if you find something you like better in terms of looks, I'd suggest you go for that option instead of this and save a little money.

Well my daughter didn't get much use out of this because it was hard to roll on carpet. While it was a cute walker and easy to assemble I found it to be very bulky and hard for her to use. My daughter did enjoy the toys and the animal sounds/songs.
