  • A really great walker! I love that it’s wooden and not plastic as well. Jan 06, 2024

  • Great little walker and so cute! My son started walking at 10 months thanks to this toy. May 05, 2023

  • I loved this!! The wheels weren’t so slippery. So it’s good for beginning walkers for sure! Mar 15, 2023

    Our son loved this from about 10 - 14 months of age (as he was learning to walk / was a new walker). Try looking for it used since baby won’t use it for long. Note - doesn’t work well on carpet. Mar 10, 2023

  • Cute simple walker to promote early walking. It for my son up and moving at 10 months. Aug 08, 2022

  • I like this, but it has no way to adjust its resistance- which is necessary with a little learning to walk. Oct 17, 2021

  • All my kids have loved this! Definitely fans of the cute alligators Sep 19, 2021

    My 12 month old is not walking on her own yet but she can push this around which makes her really happy. I do have to follow her around and turn it every time she runs into something though. Jul 23, 2020

  • We used this when my daughter started walking better. It flipped a lot when she was just learning and she would hit her face on it. The storage steps are really nice though. Mar 05, 2020

  • Our LO loves this walker. It's perfectly sized for early toddler years. The wooden wheels make it a little harder to move, but that resistance is actually great for helping with balance and strength. Mar 02, 2020

  • Very cute idea. My son loves alligators, so this appealed to him; however, he used his other push toy that had more “bells and whistles” a lot more often than he chose this one. Jan 02, 2020

    Very cute, but very loud when pushed around on hardwood or tile flooring. Jan 01, 2020

  • Bought this for eldest baby’s first Christmas. He learned to walk at eight months old, so we didn’t use as walker. He loved playing with it. Our second was able to use as walker and loved it Jul 15, 2019

  • It’s very cute and far less annoying that the light and sound versions. I find it to be less stable and more risky because of the weight needed to balance baby. May 02, 2019

  • This is a super cute walker and just the right size for our smaller 1 year old. But it does tip over in her fact and so she's not using it solo. Not as sturdy as other walkers, so not my favorite. Apr 16, 2019

  • ive kept this for my second son, needs some screws tightened but still works wonderfully. wipes down easy from getting a bit dusty Apr 16, 2019

    Our oldest daughter loved this walker. It is noisy, but very stable and well-made. It really helped her with first steps and she played with it long after. Now, my infant wants to use it too! Nov 13, 2018

    This walker is so sturdy and the wheels have great traction. The chomping gators are great incentive to keep little one moving! Love this! Sep 23, 2018

  • Much sturdier than most walkers and didn't tip easily. We would take walks around the neighborhood with this and my son had no problem using it. Could be a little taller. Aug 21, 2018

  • I thought this was cute but the first one I received was broken so I exchanged it for another. My son didn’t really like it and it’s not easy to use on carpet. Also, it’s kind of short. Apr 13, 2018

  • My child keeps getting his fingers caught in the alligators mouth! I'd hoped he would have learned, but this is a really silly design flaw. Also the wheels roll too freely, not good for new walkers Mar 02, 2018

  • Great quality, my son loves the alligators and the spin toys. I have been pleased with this walker. Nov 30, 2017

  • Very noisy but my son loved it. Oct 20, 2017

  • Best walker!! Love the noise it makes when the alligators snap their mouths together. Jul 18, 2017

  • Right now he wants to spin the butterflies but my nephew and nieces loves this! I love that it is wood and not electronic. Jul 09, 2017

  • This toy is amazing for little ones starting to walk. Love the rubber on wheels as we have hard wood floors and others with plastic wheels slide away too easy. Cute and the noise gators make is fun. Jul 05, 2017

  • I love the weight of this push toy--great for new walkers since it doesn't tip over easily. Plus the chomping action of the alligators is fun! Little spinny toys give something to do when they fall. Dec 13, 2016

  • So loud when your infant gets walking fast, but they'll love the clacking alligators. Jul 14, 2015

    No way to slow it down, but LO has enjoyed playing with it. Jul 01, 2015

    This is a great walker, the alligators clacking noise is fun! There are some quality issues, bottom half of the alligators broke immediately on one. We got another one and it's coming apart too. Nov 08, 2014

  • Doesn't topple over as much as the plastic ones Nov 03, 2014

  • Shorter than the plastic ones so better for those just learning to walk. Plus, it seems to go a bit slower so he isn't scared of falling on his face. Oct 21, 2014

  • This is very helpful in assisting the child with their first steps. Since its made out of wood you need to keep an eye out that your little one doesn't hit themselves against it. Aug 30, 2014

  • It is so cute that I could resists! It was super stable and didn't tip with a shaky new walker. However, it could move a little fast for a new little mobile guy. Aug 19, 2014

  • Mine is block sand now the Gator, but my son LOVES his cart. He learned to walk at 10 months with this toy! Jul 23, 2014

    This high-quality wood walker toy is great. Baby loves when the alligators "snap" as you push the walker along. It's nearly impossible to push on carpet/rugs, but works great on hard floors. Jun 30, 2014

  • This is my go-to gift for one-year-olds. It is always a hit! The little ones seem to love the kinetic action and the noise! It's also very sturdy. Jun 27, 2014
