I bought this baby walker for my daughter when she was about 6 months old. I bought it because at the time it looked the most sturdy and safe.
It had a activity tray with a steering wheel lever and buttons that made funny sounds and flashing lights. The activity tray could be lifted out and it had 3 ajustable height postions. So as your child grew so did the baby walker.
It also folds flat for easy storage and has a safety feature which stops it from folding when your child is sat in it. This can be found underneath the baby walker.

I found that at first when i put my daughter in the baby walker she lent forward to much and seemed to be pressing against the tray in front of her so i used a towel to place infront of her to give her added padding. As the months went by she loved being in the baby walker but because our floors were carpeted she found it a little harder to get around.

Which i thought was a good thing as it mean't she couldn't go speeding off into things.

As she got to about 10 months and her legs had got stronger i remember briefly leaving the room with her in her baby walker and when i returned she was hanging over the front of the walker both hands on the floor and her bum in the air.

Even though the Baby walker was on it's heighest postition my daughter was able to push her self up and out of the baby walker by using her feet and placing it on one of the bars at the side of the walker to raise herself up.

Of course this was Dangerous and after she did it once she kept doing it. So although she was still unable to walk it came to the point where she was unable to use it any longer.

Which was a shame as the baby walker had helped and encouraged her to stand up on her feet and strenghen her leg muscles.

However for the amount i paid for it £39.99 and the lengyh of time she used it it was not good value for money.

It could be the fact that my daughter for her age at 10 months was taller than average and that was how she was able to climb out.

But after reading the other reviews about this item i can see that there may well be a problem that needs to be addressed with this item. Which is a shame as i still think it is a lovely product.
