Stride to Ride, Stride with Pride!

Advantages: Two in one toy, great stimulation and lots of fun!
Disadvantages: None to hand - it's got it all!

...walker. This one has a detachable front, that is an activity centre for your child. There are shapes and musical keys that introduce different things including words, letters, colours, music, animals and melodies. There is also a rattling phone to encourage imaginary play. - Vtech Grow and Go - I do have to say that we were very tempted to buy this one, as we felt it was true value for money due to it having three different stages to it. It has a piano on the top, along with a peek-a-boo mirror, a steering wheel and flashing lights. The Piano can be detached and placed on the floor for safe floor play. The baby can also stand whilst the piano is on the frame and play it that way. Last, but not least, its a walker as the frame has four wheels, which helps stabilise your child whilst they are practising. Pride in my stride...

Review of Fisher Price Stride to Ride Walker

One Hel of an Experience...

Advantages: Great walking, views and thrills.
Disadvantages: None

...between 2.5 to 4 miles of climbing, depending upon where you begin. Thirlmere is a great reservoir and its view as you walk up is quite impressive. The popular routes are from Patterdale or Glenridding, as these involve the trek across Striding Edge (more of this later). This way is longer (around 5 miles), but worth it. At the base of this route to the top is the wondrous Ullswater, one of my favourite lakes in the district. The Patterdale approach takes you up the side of Birkhouse Moor and across and the Glenridding one takes you via the old lead mines. As one climbs and pauses for breath, a look back at Ullswater is always recommended. This beautiful lake snakes along, basked by with rocky mountains at its edges. So, to Striding Edge. This is a ridge that takes the walker to the summit of Helvellyn. It is a steep ridge and quite airy...

Striding in Sunshine

Advantages: It's by the Beatles.
Disadvantages: The Beatles weren't always perfect.

...their music self-indulgent and ugly. They weren't the Alpha and Omega of pop, or its fons et origo either. To be honest, when they were bad, they could be very, very bad. Fortunately, the corollary applies: when they were good, they could be very, very good. Miraculously good. And you can hear examples of both on this album, which was once my favorite album by my favorite band. It wasn't as famous as Sergeant Pepper's, or as long as the White Album, or as disjointed as Let It Be, and it had a cover of classic simplicity and depth. I could look at those four figures striding eternally in bright 'sixties sunshine with the same unfailing interest as I could once listen to the music those four figures had created to accompany that cover. "Come Together" was so compellingly catchy, for example. But nowadays I know that this was thanks in...

Striding in the Steps of Giants

Advantages: Dramatic views clothed in the mysteries of both legend and science
Disadvantages: Access for the handicapped is necessarily restricted

...contest with another giant, the mighty Benandonner (whose name is also subject to variations in spelling), who lived across the Irish Sea in Scotland. The two giants challenged one another to a contest of strength, and Finn set about building a great causeway that would allow Benandonner to cross from his liar in Fingel's Cave to the beautiful shores of County Antrim without getting his feet wet. As this version of the legend maintains, late one evening the tired Finn, having nearly completed his work on the causeway, broke away from his labors and fell into a sound slumber--intending to finish his task the next morning. Meanwhile, Benandonner, a much larger giant with a longer stride, found the nearly completed path and strolled over to fulfill the challenge with his Irish neighbor. Oonagh, Finn's wife, was awakened from her own sleep by...

Review of County Antrim (Ireland)

Anyone fancy a ride?

Advantages: fun and helps baby to walk.
Disadvantages: The ball basket.

.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why is it stride and ride? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's called stride and ride, as it can change from a walker into a sit and ride toy. It does this by a clip just under the main part. If you undo the clip, the sides open up to make the walker. The wheels turn slightly, so that you will be going straight. The baby/toddler, then stands in between the sides, and walks along holding the backboard (which is actually at the front). To turn it into a ride along toy, You press the botton near the front of the toy, and the sides will be loose. You push them together, and fasten a red clip underneith. This is then turned into the seat. The child then sits on it and can be pushed along, or push them selves along. ~~~~~~~ Features ~~~~~~~ This is a wonderful toy. With lots of fun for the little ones. The front of the walker is a face. It...

I can walk like everyone else as long i hold on

Advantages: Helps with walking
Disadvantages: none

...I bought this walker as looked more interesting than the others as played music acted as a toy with the basket at the front and it changed to a walker to a sit and pull along toy too. Baby's developmental milestones are always something to celebrate. Baby Playzone toys add to the celebration, encouraging and rewarding physical accomplishments. They're full of exciting activities that make baby want to try? and try again! The Stride-to-Ride Walker starts off by steadying first steps and rewarding baby with lights, sounds, and high-energy music. When toddlers are ready to ride, just move the legs together and lock in place to form a comfortable seat. Walking, riding, or shooting some hoops, baby will enjoy plenty of rewards-including music, sounds and lights!Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries. The features of this walker are...
