I shopped around for about 8 months waiting for a decent walker and finally found this good-looking, practical, durable and safe product. I usually don't write reviews, but this tiny steps 3-in-1 walker is so great and well worth the wait, I had to share:
-It is easily assembled and compresses for transport or for storage. (which we use frequently between grandparents home and ours.)
-It has wonderful safety features. Such as, on flat, higher surfaces, it has a saftey feature that stops the walker before falling off the higher surface's edge.
-It entertains your baby with entire songs and a variety of sounds that doesn't irritate.
-The mini maestro is removable which makes room to put more toys or food in while your baby walks around.
-It has good looking colors that attracts the baby's attention.
-It easily moves forwards, backwards and makes smooth turns, so I don't have to stop what I'm doing to reposition the walker for the baby.
-The price is well worth all that this product offers.
These are the main features that have made my baby's time fun and my monitoring and interaction of the baby user-friendly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our daughter's favorite so far, August 2, 2005

Note: I think I have a slightly older model than the one listed here because it doesn't bounce. However, that hasn't been an issue for us as our daughter seems to love her Tiny Steps just the way it is.

We received a used Tiny Steps walker as a gift, and I decided to leave it at my mother's house so my almost 4-month-old daughter would have an upright entertainer to use during visits. At home, we have both a jumperoo and an exersaucer, and she will stay in those for maybe 5-10 minutes at the most before fussing to come out. (She seems to become fairly easily overwhelmed with lots of flashing lights and electronic sounds.) I figured the same would be true of the Tiny Steps, but boy, was I wrong!

The first time I put her in the Tiny Steps (with the brakes on), she was delighted. Even with the music playing and the lights flashing on the Mini Maestro, she didn't become overwhelmed and would have happily stayed in as long as I was willing to allow it. Right now, we're only using it as a stationary entertainer with the brakes on; soon, though, once she becomes a bit stronger and more coordinated, we'll release the brakes and let her move around the house in it (under CLOSE supervision to prevent accidents). It doesn't seem to move as easily on rugs as on tile or hardwood floors, so it takes a bit more effort on the child's part to move the Tiny Steps over carpet.

I must say that one of the things I like best about the Mini Maestro toy on the Tiny Steps is the way it has both electronic elements (electronic music, flashing lights) as well as "analog" elements (a steering wheel that makes a non-electronic "clack-clack" sound when turned, a horn that gives a non-electronic "honk" when pushed). Call me old-fashioned, but I'm not a fan of having everything be electronic, and I was delighted to see that my daughter's favorite thing to do so far with the Mini Maestro is turn the steering wheel to hear the clack-clack sound.

Overall, while this toy doesn't have the kinds of bells and whistles of many of the exersaucers and other entertainers out there, I think that especially for a younger child it does an excellent job of capturing attention without being too overwhelming. The fact that the Mini Maestro can be removed for use as a separate toy and that the Tiny Steps converts into a walk-behind toy for toddlers only adds to its versatility and value.

My 8 month old grandson just loves his Tiny Steps 2-in-1 Walker with Mini Maestro. He is kept occupied with the sounds of music and colorful attached toys. It is very safe and I am sure as he gets a little older he will enjoy walking behind it. Don't know what I would have done without it when I have him 2 days a week. Great item for Grandmothers!
