Hape Wonder Walker Push and Pull Toy | Award Winning Wooden Toddler Walking Activity Center, Rolling Baby Walker Toy, Red/Natural

Fantastic & worth every penny
I ordered this for my soon to be 9 month old daughter. It shipped fast and arrived with simple instructions for assembly. It comes with an Alan wrench, and all you do is take out 2 screws, flip up the handle bar, and secure the 2 screws in another pre drilled hole.The walker itself is super sturdy, and is high quality. My 9 month old cannot stand up alone yet, so I let her grasp the handle bar (not correct term but that’s just what I call it), while she happily stands & licks the handle bar. (It comes up to about her chin area). So this is a fairly large toy, that will definitely be used for years to come.There’s a storage area in the front, so you can load it up with toys and let your little one push them around the room. Or in my case, your baby who’s still sitting upright with some crawling, can play with whatever is inside the storage area while checking out the cool accessories on this wooden walker. There’s gears that turn, beads, a car on a path that can be moved around and a few other things that grabs the baby’s attention.My 4 year old and 7 year old immediately stuck their baby sister in the walkers storage area and pushed her around. So now Ruby is happy sitting in that compartment, and will probably take her time learning how to actually walk with this. My 4 year old already was sitting in it as well, with his older sister pulling him with a jump rope they had tied around it.This is one of those community toys. Where your entire household will use (abuse) it!This is a beautiful walker that is not an eye sore sitting in your front room. If you are thinking of buying one, splurge on this item, it’s worth it.I need to add that the wheels on this walker are a type of rubber that’s sandwiched by thin circular wood pieces. Very nice construction.Lastly, Hape Toys is a wonderful company. Read about their history and growth. They’re an environmentally friendly business. I have several of their products/toys and I’m a satisfied customer.I’m happy with my purchase!

Colorful? Check. Cute? Check. Solid? Check. BUT…
…it does have a couple of small issues that I feel warrant a one star reduction. It is so stinkin’ adorable, though, and we really do love it!(1) It is a bit difficult for my 11-month-old to steer. When he tries to make it turn, it sometimes tips over along with him. However, it is MUCH sturdier than the VTech Sit-to-Stand walker he initially had, and the Hape wheels are so much better on wood floors AND carpet. He started walking with it the first day we gave it to him. I was initially disappointed because it tipped over backwards the first time he fell backwards while pushing it. Now he tends to sit back and let go instead of falling backwards, so we’ve had no other backwards tipovers.(2) Some reviewers noted this being “all wood” while at least one other reviewer noted that the gears on the side of the walker are plastic. I was hoping for wooden gears, but as of July 2013, they are plastic. Everything else is wood, though, which makes it a nice and sturdy walker.(3) We have had this walker for almost one month and it is used often throughout the day. To date, the activities on the walker have not sparked any interest from my son. The thing he likes best is the orange circle on the back panel that can be turned to make beads tumble and make noise. The only problem is that you must turn the knob on the back of the walker and the beads are only visible from the front. At this point, he cannot turn the knob from behind while leaning in front to see the beads tumbling in the little clear drum. If the drum was clear on the back as well, he could see the beads tumbling as he sits behind the walker spinning the knob. Take a look at the front and back images provided by Hape to see what I mean.Overall, I am quite happy with this walker, even for the 71 dollar price tag. My son likes to put toys in and out of the wagon part and gets the biggest smile on his face when I ask him if he wants to “go-go-go”, which means walker time! Despite frequent run-ins with the walls and baseboards, no red marks have been left behind! A very happy mom and 11-month-old 🙂

The Hape Wonder Walker is a very sturdy and easily assembled. It is fun to push, pull or even sit in for a little one.

Mein Enkelkind hat diesen Lauflernwagen zum 1. Geburtstag bekommen und liebt ihn. Schön verarbeitet und nicht langweilig durch die kleinen angebrachten Spielmöglichkeiten. Schön auch, um wichtige Dinge, wie Bauklötze, zu transportieren. Fährt nur geradeaus, aber das lässt sich wohl nicht ändern. Alles in allem, ein schönes, praktisches, stabiles und vielseitiges Spielzeug.
