VTech First Steps Baby Walker

Since the birth of my son in 2006 V-Tech have become one of my preferred manufacturer of toys. I started the path to motherhood firmly of the opinion that toys should be traditional, require and encourage creative play and should certainly not "play with themselves". A few gifts and conversations with other mothers and much of that was to change. V-Tech proved to me that electronic toys are not all bad and that creative play is still possible with ...
...take on the traditional brick trolley designed to help and encourage young babies to find their feet and to make adventures with their new-found freedom. However, the walker goes one step further and includes an interactive front section that's designed to teach basic movements, colours, letters and numbers. We first acquired the walker when my son was about 7 months old. He could stand and pull himself up on furniture but had made no attempt to ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

Vtech First Steps Baby Walker Jack is going to be a genius and I think it's all thanks to me buying up toys that are too advanced for him from an early stage. He is now three months old but I bought this vetch baby walker when he was only a matter of weeks. I am a big kid at heart and I couldn't wait to get most of theses toys for myself never mind jack! I bought this baby walker from Amazon with the use of some more vouchers I had accumulated ...
...post and packaging. It arrived in just over a week and I couldn't wait to start playing and see what Jack thought. Now it is meant for ages from 6 months and as Jack was only a few weeks old he pretty much screamed the house down when I put it in front of him and he saw all the flashing lights and lots of sounds. How ever my boyfriend could hardly tear me away from it. Now Jack is a few months older he does seem far more interested in it. The good ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

We bought this for the twins last christmas because although they were nearly 16months old neither of them were walking so we thought this may help them a bit. --- What it does --- Obviously this is a baby walker so it helps support your baby when it is starting to walk but the walker also has a removable panel on the front for your child to play with that has different activities and has lights and plays music. The removable panel has 2 different ...

When you press the puppy it says 'lets play puppy says, puppy says lets wiggle/clap your hands/stomp your feet' This is basically a simon says game. - BUTTERFLY. The butterfly's function is to switch modes from alphabet/numbers to music. To do this you turn the butterfly's wing. ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

...I came accross the vtech walker on Ebay. It looked fun & a great aid to help him toddle as he hadnt started to walk. I managed to win one at a stupid price of 99p, yep 99p, although it cost about £10 P&P, but it was still a bargain. It was used, a few times said the ad & sure enough it was perfect, still with the box & the phone was in the wrapper, the wheels werent marked, so a bargain was had. Now as you can see from the picture, as well as being ...
...it for any young child/toddler, Vtech say from 6 Months & I would have to agree with that. The technical bit. Sturdy design to support and nurture your baby's first steps Detachable learning centre packed with activities Shapes and light-up musical keys introduce letters, words, numbers, animals, colours, sung songs and melodies Moving butterfly, discs and rollers develop manipulative skills plus a rattling role-play phone Textured wheels, ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

...exactly why we chose the Vtech baby walker, although it met our price criteria and looked like it had lots of different activities on it to keep Ellie amused. The baby walker was easy to assemble. It consists of a handled frame on wheels, which enables your baby to walk and push the frame along. At the bottom of the frame are three, colourful spinning rollers, which have beads and rattly bits inside that make nice sounds when they spin. There is ...
...I would definitely choose the vtech walker again. It has lots of different activities to stimulate babies and toddlers (suitable I would say from 6 months of age), it is bright and colourful and I'm sure Ellie will start to use the walking frame more now as she is beginning to stand more confidently with the aid of furniture and when holding hands. At just £21.97 (Argos catalogue price), I feel that the Vtech walker is good value for money also. ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

I bought one of these walkers from Argos for just over £20 about a year ago for my son who has used it loads so I think it deserves a mention:- Description The walker itself – Plastic red handle and wheels with a yellow and blue base White Front Panel which includes:- A butterfly with a wing that you can flip – When flipped to the left the front panel will go in to learning mode where any button that is pressed will announce a letter, number ...
...revert to sound mode where buttons will play either a note or a musical tune. Four buttons with shapes – Used to identify different shapes, numbers, colours and play different types of music (one example being a rock n roll tune) Three Turning Wheels – There is a handle on one wheel which will turn the other two as in a cog system Five buttons with different colours - Depending on the mode can be pressed to play a note, animal sound or identify ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

...really stood out was the Vtech First Steps Walker. One of the faults with large sit in walkers is there size and the lack of activities that can be done with them. The Vtech however is packed with features and in my eyes developed my babies walking much quicker as the support was less encouraging more muscle groups to be used conjunctively. I bought the walker from Argos at £26.99 and took it home with me that evening. I unpacked it and was glad ...
...sit in walker will cost about £50 and doe's not include even half the features of the Vtech walker. I hope I have covered everything and if I have missed something let me know and I'll amend. Thank you for reading and I hope it has been helpful. Barry ...

...when spun. Our VTech walker is a red, blue and yellow version as in the picture that goes with the review but it is possible to get a pink and purple version too. ==PRICE== The price is quite reasonable. It is currently on sale with Amazon for £21.50 but I'm equally sure a used version could bought even more cheaply on ebay. It is easy to keep clean and still looks in great condition even after six months of use. The walker uses 3 AA batteries ...
...Overall, I would say I am very pleased with the purchase and will be adding my vote of confidence to the rest of the parents on the parenting forum where it was recommended to me! A version of this has also been published on Dooyoo by the same author. ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

Vtech First Steps Baby Walker. I got this when my daughter was around 9months old as she was standing up a lot and walking along whilst she was holding on to my sofa. So I thought it would be a good idea to get her a walker to encourage her to walk. There is a lot of choice of ones to buy and I eventually bought this one for around 20pounds (Once again just like to say my pound sign does not work on my pc) from Toys R us. What she thought. Once ...
...her up to show her what it was for and she picked it up straight away, but she sometimes went to fast and would fall but she really enjoyed it. She loves playing with the toys on the front even now at 1yr old. The phone which attaches to it is one of here favourite toys as she pretends to speak to people like a real phone. Eventually over time she started to master the art of walking with it and would deliberately try to grab my attention so that ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

My eldest had the older version of the V-Tech walker. When my youngest was old enough to start benefiting from having one we couldn't find it so I popped along to Toys R Us. I found one for about £24. It's still just as colourful and noisy as the old one. This version has a removable phone and piano-like keys which are good fun. Make sure to remember that this toy requires 3x AA batteries. Opening the box: The baby was very happy to be getting a ...
...My elder son (6yrs) opened the box and put the walker together by himself. He said it was really easy because all you have to do is push the pieces into their places. The old one used to fold so that it could lie down on the ground and be played with. I was a bit upset to find that this one didn't do the same. The front does pop off so that baby can play with it on the floor but then you've got two bits in an already over-crowded room! Learning centre: ...

...school aged children. More importantly, Vtech toys are that sturdy you will benefit from your initial expenditure by your ability to pass the toy onto each new addition into your family. When my son was 8 and a half months old he was extremely active. He would pull himself upright from a seated position and hold onto the furniture. I wanted to encourage his first steps so I purchased the Vtech First Step Walker. At first, my son used the walker as ...
...I said earlier, I find Vtech toys are well worth the money because they usually stand the test of time and can be passed from one sibling to another or between families/friends etc. The only thing I dislike about the walker is the way the phone and cradle is set at an angle. I tend to find the moment my son takes the phone off its cradle, he spends an eternity trying to put it back on again and often gets frustrated in the process. He gets even more ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

...I am a fan of Vtech toys and think most of thier products are good value for money. Toys for our first child consisted mostly of hand me downs from our family, but was disappointed when they didn't hand this down to us and bought us a different walker for our son. I now understand why, my nephew continued to play with his unil he was at least 3. The walker we had for our first child was more basic with less features, so when we were able to afford ...
...on them, similar to the Vtech phone that she also has it says things like 'yellow circle' and 'blue square', so helps them recognise colours and shapes which is good. We got this for my daughter when she was abotu 9mths, i think Vtech recommend it for around 6-36mths, and i would say this is about right, it will last right through and our daughter is now 2 and a half and still plays with it, and our third child also gets the play out of it too as ...

INTRODUCTION Ethan is now 9months old and trying to walk. Ethan as always wanted to be on his legs for as long as I can remember; you can't get him to sit for more then 5 minutes. This is where I decided to buy a walker for him to help him balance when he is trying to walk. Since buying this for Ethan he hasn't stopped playing with it. ABOUT THE BABY WALKER The walker is very simple and easy to assemble and takes matter of minutes to put together. ...

The red textured wheels and the blue and yellow sturdy frame and the easy grip handle helps with the aid of Ethan's first steps, it gives him balance and courage ...

I originally purchased this toy without thinking too much which is unusual for me as I usually research for days before making any decisions! My son at the time needed a bit of encouragement to start walking, so I bought one of these to help him along a bit. The walker itself consists of a light-weight plastic frame with four wheels and a wide handle with spinning rattles at the bottom. There is also a toy that detaches from the front which consists ...

When the butterfly is closed, the numbered buttons say numbers 1-4, then "red heart" and so on with the colour/shape description, and the piano keys teach phonics with "a, a is for apple" and so on. The musical toy is well-positioned on the walker as it encourages ...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

We chose this walker due to the fact that not only is it a sturdy walker it has a detatchable learning toy centre so you kind of get two toys in one buy! The toy panel can be removed and laid flat on the floor which means this toy can be bought and be useful even before your baby shows any sign of walking. My son loves the toy panel which has two modes (Music & Learning) that are changed over when you flip over the butterflys wings. So you either ...

It has a detachable rattle phone for role play or teething (in my sons case!). There is also a Puppy Dog button which when you press it plays the Puppy Says game...."Puppy says clap your hands". The toy panel is so handy to grab when you are off to a friends or the grandparents but you'll end up leaving the phone part as ...
