I researched many walkers before purchasing this one. Its made from wood and metal and is incredible quality. Its so sturdy. My son is 28 pounds at 10 months old and for him learning to walk this is perfect. No matter how hard he pulls on it or falls while using it, it does not tip over. My son can crouch behind it and pull up to standing and it does not tip over. I think its because the handle is shaped in a way that directs any force downward to prevent any tipping. The wheels have a rubber tread on them that lets it go smoothly on carpet and slows it down on our hardwood and tile. My little boy pulled up on the handle and walked behind it (for the first time ever) the day we got it! He loves his little wagon and pushes it all over the house. We put his teddy and some blocks in there or a favorite book and he screeches with delight that hes pushing those things around. BTW the walker is great empty too...you dont have to weight it down at all like some of the plastic ones.
This is such great quality, and a beautiful product and Im so glad we got it. Its going to last for this baby and future babies and beyond.I purchased a similar Galt walker 18 years ago for my one year old son and his younger brother. Now, as I open a home child care service, I am delighted to see that it is still available with some new features such as the bent handle for even greater stability and the wheels are still rubberized for great traction and resistance. It was super sturdy before and is still! The new paint job is a bonus, too.I did a lot of reading reviews of all the wooden baby walkers and decided to go with this one just a few days before our kid's 1st birthday. It's not the $140-200 version of a wooden walker, but it's also not plastic or toxic-paint-fumed wood. I am thrilled with this purchase! The price is perfect for a well-crafted wooden cart, and with Prime shipping it arrived on her birthday as promised. Our daughter isn't walking yet on her own, but she immediately pulled up on this and took off, happy with her independence and smiling proudly. A few minutes later her friend had climbed in it, and our daughter pushed her around, both of them laughing hysterically. Obviously a toy like this should not be used unsupervised, because it could tip over and cause injury, but this really is a stable walker, low to the ground, good rubber grip on the wheels with a really well-made handle. Every day since we got it our kid spends lots of time pushing it around, then crawling in it and holding on while we push her around. Yes you will spend a good amount of time pushing your kid around in it, and the handle is kid-size, so bend your knees and try to keep your back straight. We took it outside, and she instantly started putting rocks and grass in it and pushing that around to unload it somewhere else. She also got in it one day and started propelling herself forward by rolling the wheels. It's amazing all the concepts she is putting together with this one item.
I had debated about this version vs the Original Activity Walker Supports Those First Steps, and after we realized that one is actually smaller than the blue/red one we went with this one. I'm glad we did. This one is still very small (and we have a tiny house), but if it was any smaller our daughter wouldn't be able to crawl in and out of it, which at this point is very important to her. I see her enjoying this for a long time, even after she walks solo, pushing her toys around and scaring the cats and dogs.My family owns a toy shop and this is the ONLY baby walker we sold as you cannot find better, sturdier, safer and well designed. The handle is shaped so that babies that cannot walk yet can pull themselves up safely without the walker tipping over (even with nothing in the wagon). The wheels have a center of rubber so that they do not slide even on wooden floors, also (as my mother was most concerned about) was the wooden front being rammed into furniture the design is so well done, the wheels come out about 1" from the front so that all that hits on the furniture is the rubber of the wheels and does not leave marks (even on wood). Prices vary, but i would pay ANYTHING for this, but nicely enough, it is one of the cheapest on the market especially for wood. Good luck trying to get your hands on these though as they seem to be sold out all over the place i had to put in 7 different orders to get 1, but it is worth it!We've been using this wagon for two years nowand it is wonderful! Heavy, so that it does not tip over when my son leans on the handlebars, but still maneuverable for a 1-3 year-old. We have been really hard on this wagonit's been used inside, outside, left out in the rain accidentally, used for rock and leaf collecting... we will need new tires for it soon, but that is more out of wear and tear. This wagon is built like a tank, and has been a lot of fun for our son.
