Ahdh 'Had to take these off my little one. He is still putting things in his mouth and all the paint came off these without much effort and the ones with no paint on he bit chunks of wood away so probably better for older not teething babies.' Sue 'We had a problem with the screws on the bottom which holds the handles in place they kept coming loose' Grandad 'We bought this as a Christmas present for my grandson of 11 months. He managed to stand up using it for support and took his first steps using it on Boxing Day. It was a great success and will played for a good few years to come.'

Push-along baby walkers don’t generate the same concerns as seated baby walkers. Your baby is required to concentrate on keeping upright by themselves, rather than being held in place, and their hands are always occupied holding onto the handle bar. Handbags 'Its very nicely made, but.it would have been much better if it was made from stronger wood.' Potential Benefits: Developing social skills. Fine Motor Skills. Hand and Eye Coordination. Shapes and Colours. Problem Solving. Creativity. Imagination. Cause and Effect.

Disappointed 'Far too small for a 12 month old and to light for anyone younger to use as a walking aid. Also brooks are flat soo can’t be used for building Complete waste of money!!!' Some will be on their feet from as early as eight months whereas others are happy to sit and crawl until 18 months. VTech First Steps Baby Walker is fab, front panel detaches for playing on floor then can be used as a walker when baby is a bit bigger.” (Rated by Mumsnetter moaningminniewhingesagain)Paediatric research has shown that sit-in baby walkers may have an impact on baby’s development and impact on gait and posture. Can baby walkers delay walking? Minnie 'This product is designed for 1yr plus it advertises but it is very light and tips up easily for a young child to manouvour about. My greatgranddaughter is 1yr and walking and as she tries to push it it tips up. She is fine with a pram . I feel that there's a design fault' This walker adjusts to three different heights, meaning it can grow with your child. Safety features include no-tip safety pads and speed-restricting wheels to give parents peace of mind. The front panel is covered in an array of fun music and sensory activities to keep your baby stimulated and there’s also a handy storage tray to keep the accompanying accessories in one place. Liz 'My daughter recurved this as a gift and loved it so I bought it for my nephew. It’s well made and bright and colourful. Nice to play with and challenges those brains and motoristic skills while being fun.'

Dee 'Bought this for my year old grandson and he absolutely loves it. Easy to manoeuvre nice bright colours.' Spud 'Bought as a present and not yet given. Looks a nice little toy and the bendy rods are probably a good idea. Don’t know if they will break off if bent too often but probably better than a normal rod (which can also be broken).' NanVal20 'The train is bright and colourful. I've given it a trial run (what fun!!!) and I know my little grandson will love playing with it. Can't wait for Christmas for him to open all his Argos toys!'Sarah 'Brought for Xmas for my 9mths old grandson but it didnt make it as my 14yr old opened them played with them for hrs' Poseidon 'It was really well made, my niece loved it, she couldn’t stop playing with it she liked it so much' Mumsnetters are big fans of push along walkers, particularly as they promote independent walking and are recommended by bodies such as the National Childminding Association and physiotherapists over a seated option. BusyBaker 'Bought as a present for my grandson, soon to be 1 yr old. Gift not given yet but looks strong and well made .'
