Toys and Games Reviews of MGA Little Tikes Wide Tracker Activity Walker
Customer Review: not bad for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this after reading lots of reviews. I agree that the mailbox doors are useless, and even dangerous and the toys are not very interesting. My almost one year old apparently tried to pull himself up using the top mailbox door (in the open position) and fell on his face on the sidewalk! I also got a blister putting it together from all the screws! That said, when used as a walker for babies that have been pulling themselves up and cruising already for a while, this is a good product. I did not want to spend the money and did not feel I needed the additional features of all the other walkers out there (battery operated noise machines) I just wanted something to help him balance and to take outside. We had tried the other ones that convert to ride on toys and hated them, the legs kept getting in the way. We also have the radio flyer walker wagon which is sturdy but impossible for a pre-walker to turn. I wanted the fisher price model that my daughter had borrowed when she was at this stage, but they don't make it anymore, this was the closest I could find. Overall, not bad.Customer Review: no too bad

I bought this for my daughter when she was 10 months old. She really didn't get it at first. She just wanted to play (eat) the little envelopes!
The two doors on the front come off very easy. She tries to use these to pull herself up and they just come right off and she usually lands on her butt!
She just started getting the concept of pushing the bar to make it move so she can walk. It does tip over VERY easy, she pulls it on herself all the time. It's pretty light though so she doesn't really get hurt.
One bad thing though, we have hard wood floors downstairs, and I put the wheels on the highest resistance, and the thing just flies across the floor anyway. To many boo boo's, so we took it upstairs and she does pretty good. I've noticed on mine that no matter what I have the wheels set at they really don't move at all, so they just kind of glide across the carpet.
all in all it's a good toy for the money. She still, at 12 months, is really only interested in the mail!

We bought this days ago, and it is already going back. An impromptu stop at the store for a walker for my 10mos old to take on vacation so he wouldn't be cruising all the furninture at grandma's house. After three kids, I was missing the old ones I had for the other two, but was tempted because of its simplicity and "no battery" thing...let me break it down:
*time consuming assembly, had to hunt down screwdriver
*it tipped over immedietly as the baby pulled himself up, so it only worked when I held on to either him or the front of the walker, making this not an independent toy
*within minutes mailslot doors came off
*now have to hunt for "mail" so it can all go back to the store
*the "adjustable" traction worked on some floors in our home, but not all of them
on the plus side, it doesn't run on batteries, is pretty basic and the baby loved playing with the mail slots while the doors stayed on. Either way, I am returning it and getting a different activity walker for him.

We got this as a hand-me-down when our baby was about 12 months, and she had been practicing "walking" with holding to our hands for about two or three months. I found this to be her (and my) least favorite push toy compared to a doll stroller and a grocery "cart" -- she has trouble getting the wheels to roll smoothly in the house on rugs or bare floors, and outdoors it goes a little better. And while opening and closing the doors on the front is fun, and she likes to hide toys behind them, the only other thing she can do with her finger strength is spin the red/yellow wheel on the blue door. The bee is really hard to rotate and move, even for a grown-up, and ditto for the worm across the bottom. She can flip the butterfly from left to right, but with effort and she tends to lose interest quickly. Which is sort of how this toy gets used ... just for a few minutes every few days. It's not a bad toy, and I'm grateful for the hand-me-downs!, but if I were spending the money I'd buy something else.Customer Review: disappointed in this toy

We bought this for our son when he was 7 months old. The first thing he does is take the doors off, they come off so easy. He climbs in it using it for a ladder. It is very dangerous. He cannot move the little bugs on the front. I have to keep it folded up and in a corner so he cannot use it without us right there with him. He is now one year old and still like playing with the plastic "letters" that come with it more than anything else. He does walk with it, it is good for that. but when he was learning to take steps it would fall over on top of him when he would try to stand up holding the handle to walk with it. It is supposed to be a sturdy walker, but I don't agree with that. The base is not wide enough. My mother gave us a radio flyer walker wagon from LL Bean and this is MUCH better for little ones just learning to walk. It doesn't fall over when he uses the handle to stand up with, and it is VERY sturdy!I wish I had not spent the money on the wide tracker now.
