Kolcraft Tiny Steps 2 in 1 Walker, Circles

I bought this for my 8 month old despite reading less than positive reviews on several websites. It works great, was easy to put together, and baby loves it. It works great on hard surfaces, but also baby has no problem navigating it on our area rugs. I haven't tried it on carpet, but from other reviews I read, no walker is that great on carpet. The front wheels pivot while the back wheels are staionary, which means baby ends up periodically stuck in a corner unable to get out. She loves the toy that is removable on the traythe noises are pretty comical too (train whistles, old car honks, etc.). I haven't been able to get her out of this thing since it arrived yesterdayshe protests loudly and wants back in. The toy is also very easy to remove which faciliated a quick feeding this morning without dragging her high chair out. Love it!

I was going to return this item and even wrote a bad review for the product. We realized that we were putting in the screws for the back wheel incorrectly (which would cause the back wheels to pop out). If you flip the screws the other way, then this will make the wheels stay in. This product is very good and this review negates my previous review.

I generally don't write reviews, however, this time has decided to write one to warn people this walker is not safe. While being inside, my son who is 9 months old, had leaned on one side and the walker flipped over. He ended up with huge bruise on his forehead and had bitten his lip to the blood... Do NOT buy this walker if you care about your child's well being...

My daughter is on the smaller side (short and average weight) and we received this walker as a gift.

First off, I was disappointed by the quality of the product. I found the frame to be wobbly and unstable. Not to mention that the frame itself is made of cheaper, less durable plastic, the seat is in poor taste. It has no actual support. The top part is made of foam, which I doubt offers any sort of back support for an older, larger child. The bottom part is simply fabric. No lining. No cushion. A child in a walker has to sit down at some point and I don't see this seat being comfortable at all.

If you're interested in this Kolcraft product for a boy, I especially recommend skipping it based on the seat alone. His 'package' will be uncomfortably squished.

Lastly, the walker is difficult to move on Berber and other carpeted floors. My daughter moves around well in the kitchen but can't take steps in our family room. She dislikes being stuck in one place and immediately starts to cry!

As for the entertainment...? Please. Don't even get me started.

I ordered this product from Amazon and received it a week later. When I got home from work, the product is already setup and my baby is already playing with the built in toys. The only thing that is left for me to put in are the wheels. I usually do all the assembly stuff as my wife does not like dealing with reading manuals and figuring things out but she put this up quickly while holding the baby in her arms. It is lightweight but feels sturdy. I like the fact that the seat is designed so that the baby can actually stand up and walk if he wanted to unlike most walkers now where the seat is designed to have the baby sit and not stand (the hole is at the bottom and not angled to the front as most walkers are designed).

The back wheels does not swivel so the baby can only go straight or move to left or right while moving forward but not go sideways. Not sure if this is a plus or a minus because my baby is only 5 1/2 months old and is so far content on just playing with the toys. The bottom have some friction strips for safety purposes that will prevent the walker from moving on some floor types. If you have a high carpet, you can easily remove the strips but I don't think that the company will encourage removing it for safety purpose.

As far as other reviews claiming that wheels just pop out, I don't see it happening if installed correctly as the back wheels pin are blocked to prevent it from sliding out and the front wheels are hard to pull out once locked into place. I can see some people may not be installing the wheels correctly and not locking the front wheels properly as I had some trouble pushing it in all the way completely till it locked into place. Also, the back wheels pin will only go one way and that is the head should be positioned on the inside facing the little plastic part that blocks the head once installed. To insert the pin, you will have to bend the plastic a little to let the pin slide in but not out. If it is not done properly, the wheels can fall off as the pin will slide out of the holes.
