VTech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker (Frustration Free Packaging) , Orange

Great toy , sings , not too loud

This is one of my triplets favorite toys. We got it at about 6 months and its still going strong at almost a year. By the time we got it the babies were all sitting unassisted so we left it on the cart, but its a nice feature that the front panel comes off - it makes it usable for younger children and also makes it easier to take the panel along on trips. There are activities that work for younger kids, such as pushing the piano buttons and the sun, and more difficult tasks such as inserting the shapes at the top into the matching slots or turning the gears. My kids can open and close the barn door for a long time without getting bored and try as they might, they havent been able to pull it off, unlike many of the pieces on their toys. The music isnt too annoying, either, and has a low or high volume option which every parent knows is a major bonus. Ours has the wheel-lock to make it slower - some reviews mention that their walker doesnt have one, but I think that must be an older version. I have two critiques that did not cause this to lose a star, but fixing these issues would make it a better toy. 1. The phone is always getting misplaced. It is the only part of the panel that comes completely off and it doesnt click firmly into the panel even when its on. My kids want to get to the small noise-making button underneath so they immediately pull the phone off and chuck it. Im not sure a phone is even that exciting of a toy to kids nowadays - most kids probably dont recognize the curved piece of plastic as a phone. It would be better to replace that part of the panel with a different activity (that is harder to lose). 2. Most problematic, the cart tips, no doubt about it. The shape of the walker is designed to be very stable for children who can stand and are working on moving their feet while keeping their balance. It firmly keeps them from falling sideways or tipping the whole cart forward as they walk. The problem is when kids go from sitting to standing - the handle is not over the front-to-back center of gravity and the bottom is not heavy enough to counter-balance their weight. My kids have fallen backwards while trying to pull up on the handle of the walker dozens of times. We put the walker with its handle against a wall during the months when the babies were strong enough to stand, but not stable enough to get to their feet without pulling their weight up on something. They could access the front panel, but not walk behind the walker unless we pulled out out from the wall and put them (already standing) behind it. It would be great if the front bottom of the walker were weighted so that kids could pull up, but this is a plastic toy and plastic is not that heavy of a material. It would probably increase the price (and shipping price) of the walker to weight the bottom. As long as parents are aware of this issue and take steps to avoid this problem, this is a great toy that your kids will love.

My baby loves this. She is 10 months and loves getting around!

For our Granddaughters first bday/Easter visit.She is starting to master walking.Love the activity center is detachable and full of colorful,fun activities.Glad I ordered the pink.Shes gonna love this.I appreciate the speed adjustment detail on the wheels

Love it worked great

Kid has played with this toy for months. Finally walking and he loves to use this guy. Recommend

Great way to help kids explore the world on two feet. Our grandson used it all the time while learning to walk and it helped with his confidence. The back wheels can lock to slow down the walker and then unlock as his skill level increased. Even though he is fully walking, he still likes to play with all the sounds and keyboard. Still in excellent shape. Would highly recommend.

Now that he’s older (13m) and walks/run by himself he doesn’t use the walker part but he does play with the detachable part

My grandson likes it but he tries to pull himself up and it isn’t heavy enough so it falls over with him

This baby toy is really helpful and fun for a new learner. I realize that my friends baby what’s holding that to walk on he’s own
