Good for pre-walkers
This toy is good for the pre-walker as it gives them the balance and confidance to walk alone. Because it converts to a riding toy it has the ability to go beyond just a walking toy and give several years of play.

Good indoor and out!
My in-laws bought this for my daughter when she was 10 months old. Immediately she loved pushing it around, spinning the knobs and pulling at all the accessories. Changing positions is straight forward and I'm glad it's not too easy. At 23 months, my daughter thinks she can change positions, luckily she can't. We used this indoors and outdoors and even left it outside all summer. Some pieces fell off (which is hazardous if you're not around when it happens). Every few months or so she would like a new thing about it, whether it was hiding toys in the hood or realizing she could sit on it and ride it round.

Basically, you don't need a lot of toys, just good ones and this is one of them. It's versitile, durable and after a year of use it still gets some attention everyday. If you've got a baby in the cruising stage I would definitely get this.

Great for walking, not so great for riding
My parents got this for my daughter at Christmas, she was 8 months old. She just played with the gizmos for a couple of months, and used it in pusher mode to help her stand. In just 2 short months, however, she learned to push it around and she was walking on her own well before her 1st birthday. HOWEVER, this toy is a terrible ride-on. It's too wide to allow the babies to move their feet...more like just a sit-on. Oh, and the "antenna" is in the way for babies to swing their leg over the seat to get on or off. My daughter tried dozens of times and I always had to help her on and off. We just keep it in walker mode now and I am looking for another ride-on.

Just OK toy
It took about 30 min to put together. Not a pain, but not a snap. The toy is overall just OK: durable, but too lightweight for baby to use independently. The wheels are too slippery when revolving and we slowed it down to baby speed by putting cardboard near the axle (which isnt a permanent solution, but...). The thing only goes straight whereas my daughter zigzags and wanders, so she only walk a few steps with it and leaves it by the wayside. Mostly it gets in the way of her cruising the house and we end up tucking it under the livingroom table. I dont doubt some children love it, but it has not been a favorite in our household. Something sturdier, heavier would be a little better if your child likes this sort of thing.

It is ok but
This toy is somewhat cheaply made. It hasn't broken, but it is light and flimsy. The wheels are just plastic on plastic and don't turn well. The concept of a non walking baby walking behind this in the upright position is not a good one. They can't do that. and after they walk they won't either. My grandson just pushes it like a giant car, from the side. and crawls up to it and pushes it again. and that is about it. Not much to do for a baby.
