Little Tikes Wide Tracker Activity Walker

This is the same activity walker as the one listed under "MGA Little Tikes Wide Tracker Activity Walker". That one has a recommended age of 6 months to 3 years and this one says 12 months+. One thing you need to understand is that this is definitely a no frills walker -the toys on this aren't exciting at all but honestly, my daughter couldn't care less because she's too busy enjoying the sensation of walking!! No batteries needed and I for one love "going back to the basics" where children learn from non-battery-operated toys! My daughter is 11 months in this video. Since the day we brought this home from the toy store, she has walked up & down our hallways about 50 times a day so I'm more than pleased with this purchase.

In my opinion, this has a stable/sturdy base. You can see in this video that my daughter will get up & down on this walker a number of times. Once in awhile, there'll be a little wobbly moment but we've had no ouchies. Every walker will have the potential to tip over if you push too hard or too fast or too something! I have the resistance tension on the back wheel at the tighest level but as you can see, she can still go fairly fast. Do note that it'll be hard in the beginning for your child to steer and to turn around once they get to the end of their path.

First of all, this is not a review of Kaplan Toys. I have nothing but praise for their customer service. See details below. However, this product should not be on the market.

I received this order quickly and assembled most of it with moderate difficulty. It's not easy but it's not unbearably hard. Lots of little screws, though, (so make sure you don't drop them) and tricky parts to slot in. Awkward placements. When i got the last piece, the handle that kids grab on to, i discovered that a squarish knob that sticks out on one side was defective. The plastic molding was fused in a way that prevented the handle from snapping on. It worked on one side not the other.

I called Kaplan and they immediately sent me a replacement, no charge or questions asked. I went through the process again and found the same exact defect in the second one sent to me. I jury-rigged it by drilling some holes through the plastic knob so that i could snap the handle shut. With the screws attached, it was plenty solid. Assembly time at least 45 mins.

Our 9 month old daughter enjoyed playing with it for two days. The upper green door would not stay attached, it broke out of its slot. This wasn't a big deal. But then 2 days later, our daughter managed to rip off the front wheels. And these were not even a part that you have to assemble, the wheels came attached. I emailed Kaplan, and within a few days they said they would refund my money and notify the production folks.

As I said, this product should not be on the market.

For something so difficult and time consuming to put together, this is a cheap unstable toy not worth the money. My 9 month old likes to try to use it to walk and often ends up on his belly because there is little resistance. The doors do not stay on in the front and the plastic letter things serve no purpose at all. I'm sorry I wasted what little money I have on it.

That said, my son still likes it because he loves standing on his own and he can use it to walk rather than crawl, but if you are deciding what to buy, go elsewhere.

My son really enjoys. The brake on the wheel is a nice feature.

I'm going to go against the flow here... my son ADORED THIS TOY!!!!!!!!!!! He got it for his first birthday and has adored it ever since. When your child is very little you can adjust the wheels to be tighter so it doesn't go too fast and baby can keep his balance better. My son really loved this by 18 months. I wish this thing had an odometer on it, I bet he's put 30 miles on it! He pushes it everywhere, to the park, to the library, up and down the sidewalks, and all over the yard. He's now 2 1/2 and the walker is falling apart. The wheels dont stay on because the screws are soooo stripped from all the miles he's put on it lol. Not a defect in the toy, just a testament to how much he LOVES this toy and how many miles he's put on it. We're buying another one for my now 11 month old, the other one is way too beat up from all the love it's received.
