My husband and I were looking for a solid wood walker for our 10 month old baby daughter that was relatively inexpensive. We had tried a few others on the market but all were made of flimsy plastic materials, although cute, were more expensive than this walker and completely unstable for a baby learning to stand and walk. In fact, on more than one occasion our daughter had fallen down and the other flimsy plastic walkers ended up on top of her, hence the reason we had tried so many.
The great things we adored about this walker were:
1. The overall cuteness of the walker; the crocodiles chop away as the child walks along behind the walker.
2. The stability of the walker. This walker was well made of wood and was very stable; our daughter has not once tipped this over on herself. The walker has a safety "foot" design that prevents the walker from being pulled over on top of the child if they fall down on their bum and pull on the handle when they go down.
3. There are rubber rings on each wheel that prevent slippage on bare or uncarpeted floors. We have hardwood floors and our daughter still had great traction so as not to get going too quickly. We also tried this on carpet and our daughter easily made it around the room.
4. The height of the walker for my daughter was at chest level which was perfect for her to walk in a more normal/natural walking position, allowing her to learn to balance effectively. I had read reviews about the height being lower than average but I did not find this to be a problem at all.
Overall we love this walker, it's a quality wood walker for a great price, we feel comfortable that our daughter will be safe using the walker without hurting herself and best of all, our daughter loves it too!
