Toys and Games Reviews of MGA Little Tikes Wide Tracker Activity Walker
Customer Review: Not Bad for the Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this walker for my son when he was 9 months. It was much less expensive than the other walkers, and I liked that it had a wide track and wheel speed control. I was initially very disappointed. Like the other reviewers I couldn't believe how easily the mailbox slots fall off. We had the toy home and assembled for 10 minutes and the bottom mailbox fell off and our dog chewed it up. Even with the wheels on the slowest setting the walker would go too fast for my son to keep up, and it skids on all surfaces even though it claims to have wheels that grip.
HOWEVER, my son LOVES this toy, and loves to pull of the mail slot and play with the plastic envelopes. Now at 10 months he can pull himself up easily on it without tipping it onto himself and can cruise around the house pushing it. He likes to put his stuffed animals in the mail slot area and give them rides. I'm so glad I didn't get rid of it right away which was my first instinct, because this is his current favorite.
Customer Review: He walked 10 days later!

I bought this for my 11-and-a-half-month-old nephew for Christmas. 10 days later he took his first steps on his own! To be fair, he was pretty close already, but he loved this toy and walked it all over from the day he got it.
I know other people complain about the mailbox door, and yes, it comes off pretty easily, but it's no big deal to slip it back on at all. My nephew loves the "mail" too - he will put them in the box and take them out over and over again.
This is a sturdy toy, and perfect for a kid who's almost walking but not quite. For what it's worth, my 2-and-a-half-year-old niece loved this toy, too! She kept stealing it from my nephew and trying to put all kinds of toys in the mailbox.
I don't know why this toy is adaptable to lie flat - my nephew totally lost interest in it when we changed the position. We also never got to try out the tension control because the playroom is carpeted, but it's a great feature nonetheless.
Customer Review: Love it!

I absolutley love this walker (and so does my son)! My son is now 10 months old and loves to walk. We received the FP Brilliant Basics Walker as a gift, but we soon found out that it wasn't for us. It was lightweight and flimsy. Everytime my son tried to use it, it would push ahead of him and he would end up on his knees or on his face...not exactly the right way to help a baby learn to walk.
My MIL bought our son this walker and he just loves it! The speed/traction control feature is a must! Gone are the days of him falling on his face or to his knees. He can actually walk across the room with this and it doesn't fly out from under him.
Yes, the mailbox doors come off very easily, but so what?! My son likes to take them off and play with them. When the doors are off, you can put a favorite toy there instead. My son loves to push around his stuffed animals.
Overall....great, sturdy walker for the price. Very pleased!
Customer Review: Love the speed control, saves my back
Summary: 4 Stars
All my son (11 mos) wants to do is walk but he can't quite do it by himself yet. We got this walking toy so that I didn't have to spend my days hunched over holding his hands as he toddled around the house. Since he is still learning to walk most walking toys we tried just slipped out from under him but this one is STABLE and SLOW, just right for a learner.
My son's walking has become much more confident and stable since we bought this walker. He can easily push & turn all around the wood floors (and some carpet) in our house.
The toy portion isn't very exciting (my son mostly puts things in the mail slots and then takes them out) but walking is the most exciting activity for him right now.
My friend's little boy (9 mos, larger & stronger than average 9 mo old) sat and played with the walker and the first thing he did was pull the doors off but it didn't seem to pose a hazard. He also enjoyed spinning the rotating piece.

Summary: 4 Stars
We got this walker for our daughter when she was about 9 months old because she was starting to cruise around things and we thought maybe a walker would be fun. There was more assembly than we had expected, not difficult but it was not out of the box ready. We discovered quickly that mail carrier was not in this walkers future. The doors have not been on it since the first week. They come off so easily that our daughter rips them off whenever she sees them. She likes to put her dolls in the walker and push it around like a stroller. (she is now a year old) I like the feature that lets you put the wheels away, it works well for controlling out of control older siblings. The only warning I have is that the wheels are slick on hardwood floors for little ones that are not sturdy on their feet yet. I looked around though and couldn't find one that was good on hardwood anyway. Overall this toy has been played with off and on and has held up very well.
