1.0 out of 5 stars Wish I would have bought a Fisher Price Walker, October 29, 2003

I bought this for my 10 month old daughter as she had been cruising for about 1 1/2 months and I thought she would enjoy having something to practice walking with and push. I'm not happy at all with the durability. She is constantly pulling the mailbox slots off (they come off VERY easily) and has squished her fingers in them on more than one occasion. Once she pulls them off, she likes to stand in the opening thing which looks really cute but it's really dangerous as I can just see her tumbling backwards. She isn't interested in the toy things - the catepillar is too hard to move back and forth. Overall, I wish I would have bought one of the Fisher Price walkers - they seem much sturdier and don't have parts that come off so easily.

I would recommend you shop around before purchasing this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Tikes at a Little Price, October 23, 2003

My son is 8 months old and loves his wide track walker. He walks all over, following me around the house. He's strengthening his legs and learning his colors and numbers at the same time. He loves to "mail" the little plastic letters and then take them out and mail them again.

Its price was less than all the others we looked at, but I feel the quality is more than acceptable.

I agree with the reviewers who said the little doors on the front can too easily be pulled off, but the more your child walks with it, the more interested in actually walking with it they are and they'll soon learn to leave the doors alone!

The speed control feature works well on several different heights of carpet throughout our home and the toy has proved to be sturdy (our 8 month old is 30 inches high and weighs 25 lbs). Most others we tried did not have speed control and on low pile carpet, linoleum and hardwood floors they just "took off" out from under him, causing him to land on his face.

ANY walker can tip. We tried some out in the store and at two different friends' houses--they all flipped or turned over when my son pulled down hard on them or sat down hard while still grasping the handle.

Good toy at a great price.

We bought this for our son when he was 7 months old. The first thing he does is take the doors off, they come off so easy. He climbs in it using it for a ladder. It is very dangerous. He cannot move the little bugs on the front. I have to keep it folded up and in a corner so he cannot use it without us right there with him. He is now one year old and still like playing with the plastic "letters" that come with it more than anything else. He does walk with it, it is good for that. but when he was learning to take steps it would fall over on top of him when he would try to stand up holding the handle to walk with it. It is supposed to be a sturdy walker, but I don't agree with that. The base is not wide enough. My mother gave us a radio flyer walker wagon from LL Bean and this is MUCH better for little ones just learning to walk. It doesn't fall over when he uses the handle to stand up with, and it is VERY sturdy!
I wish I had not spent the money on the wide tracker now.
