Toys and Games Reviews of MGA Little Tikes Wide Tracker Activity Walker
Customer Review: I give it 4 stars but my daughter would give it 5
Summary: 4 Stars
Since she learned to walk at 10.5 months, this has been my daughter's constant companion (she's still using it at 13 months, in different ways). We had another similar item (stride to ride) but this has been the clear winner she prefers & uses a lot. It was stable esp. as she started out, leaning on it & then pushing it ... now she can steer it & gets great satisfaction as she negotiates corners and doorways. I like the speed adjustment on the wheels. The stickers faded outside (it's an indoor/outdoor toy with us) and the dexterity activities on it are pretty lame, but she is mainly just go-go-go w/this. She does try to climb & "sit" in the front pouch area (!) ... although cute/funny, we discourage that (safety issue). Overall, I think this purchase was a good value!Customer Review: Disappointed!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I was sooo excited to see this product and thought it would be perfect for my baby girl. So when grandma brought it home, we were thrilled and tried it out right away! When it is folded down on the ground, she loves it! All though the little doors just snap right off, she'll just play with the door, too. But she's learning to walk and thats the part I liked best, until she actually started walking with it. She lost her balance and fell backwards and the toy went backwards with her and smacked her in the face!!! This happened everytime she tried to pull up on it as well. So I have put it away in the closet for now. So be careful not to let your little one use this toy on hard surfaces!!! They might crack their head and smack their face at the same time!!!Customer Review: Still plays with it...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this activity walker for my son when he was about 8 months old. We had visited a friend whose son had it, and as soon as I put my son behind the walker (I assisted him up to the handle) he took off walking!!! It doesn't get much more exciting than that! I ran to the toy store that evening and bought it. My son has always loved this toy. He is very active, and started walking on his own around 11 months. I am sure his use of this toy helped him develop that skill. He is almost 17 months now, and he still pushes the cart around, often collecting toys in it. The little mailbox doors have been long pulled off, but he uses it in other creative ways, similar to a grocery cart. I highly recommend this item. In fact, I am buying it for a friend.Customer Review: No Frills, but I like that!
Summary: 4 Stars
I would rather not have a toy with a lot of frills. This was purchased in an effort to help my son walk, and because he was sure footed and cruising already, he had no problems taking to it at 9 months (and 23 pounds). The doors on the front do come off super easy, but that isn't a concern of mine. If my son gets to the point to where he takes it off to use as a stair to get on furniture, I will simply super-glue the doors on there so that he can't. I do believe it is sturdy, though. I think that is proven by my son's age, weight, and use of the toy.
There are probably "better" choices out there, but I think the price is right and so is the product. It isn't always necessary to have the perfect and most expensive choice out there.
Customer Review: Not good for learning to stand
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this toy for the sole purpose of helping my baby to stand and then walk. He can stand if he pulls up on a couch or similar.
Unfortunately, this product is so light and flimsy that it topples with the smallest amout of pressure. There's no way my baby can pull himself up on this toy unless I hold it, and then what's the point.
In addition, I agree with several of the other parents' comments about the flaps being EASY to come off and then a hazard. My son loved (in the 1 day we owned it) to pull off the flap with the spinning disk and then promptly got his hand caught and pinched in it as he tried to lean on it.
He did love biting the plastic envelopes, oh boy.
I returned this product.
