The Best 1st Birthday Present 
2008-05-21
We got this walking toy as a gift for my Twin's 1st birthday and LOVE it. They can push it on carpet, wood floors, grass, and sidewalk. It is different from most other push toys because it cannot get away from them! I would highly recommend this push toy above all others. They also can both fit in the wagon (it is a tight fit) and enjoy being pushed! Great product!
Perfect for beginning walker or learn-to-walk kids 2008-05-20
I rec'd this from Amazon.com a few weeks ago. Bought it for my 1 year-old kid. He loved it after I assembled it. He has been pushing it everyday. The only minor improvement I suggest is to have the wheels able to turn, as it can only go straight forward/backward only. The clicker really helps because it slows down the speed. Perfect for beginning walker or learn-to-walk phase. I called the company to verify if it is lead-free paint, I was confirmed over the phone that it is lead-free paint product.
Great toy... (but a pain to assemble) 
2008-05-12
We have a 10-month old and he had tried this wagon at a friend's and loved pushing it around. So we immediately purchased one and he does indeed love it. It's the perfect speed/resistance for him (we have hardwood floors so having something that moves too fast could be disastrous). However, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that putting the thing together was an exercise in frustration. There were several times when I'd come across an instruction that was needlessly difficult (full disclosure: I am not handy or a DIY-er of any kind... but I can usually put my kid's toys together without much difficulty). It really required two people to build it, and was a real pain. And I still don't understand why (a) the side/front wood slats pull right out, instead of clicking in somehow, and (b) why the metal bar (which is right below tooth height) is made of, well, metal... and not something soft. These are minor quibbles, and my son really does love it. But if you're not handy (like me) prepare to have a bit of a tough time with it...
Excellent Wagon! 2008-05-09
We purchased this after seeing it in use at my niece's house. Our ten month old can't use the wagon as a walker just yet. He enjoys putting his blocks and toys in it and can walk with the wagon with guidance. He enjoys being inside the wagon and wheeled around.
The wagon is nicely constructed with real wooden sides which can be taken off. It is a good buy for the price.
Great choice for helping an early walker! 2008-05-05
After poring over the existing reviews for this product and others in the category we purchased this for my son as an alternative to all the plastic noise making walkers out there. (Happily it was on sale through Amazon at the time). I looked at the Melissa and Doug alligator walker in a store and found it to be too flimsy and small for what we wanted. There are some other very nice wooden walkers (car style) out there (mostly European made) but most are quite pricey and this one seems to have greater potential use down the road.
When we introduced our son to this walker he was about 7.5 months old, pulling himself up on everything in site, and trying to walk. He was instantly excited when he saw it.
I will say that I thought the clickers (which provide the "resistance" mentioned on the product summary) would keep the wagon from moving forward as quickly as it can. Luckily, since it is constructed so sturdily he could pull himself up to kneel on his knees and then stand and he figured out how to keep up with the wagon and push it before it could get away from him. This did take some practice on his part and some steadying/holding of the wagon on ours. He is heavy for his age so smaller children may not have this problem but note that it can get going rather quickly as they transition from sitting to pushing it forward.
One funny thing is that he likes to take the sides off and sometimes try to put them back on but pretty much the sides stay off. This may change when he gets older. Right now he likes taking the sides off and crawling in and out of the wagon as well as standing up in it to get up a bit higher.
Pros: 1)Fairly easy to assemble--I finished putting it together while he was napping; 2) Well constructed; 3) The "bumper" really works to protect the walls and furniture (we have not had any of the problems with markings being left on the walls mentioned in other reviews); 4) It is very stable he actually likes to climb into the wagon now and stand in it, due to the way the rubber wheels work he is in no danger of rolling forward unexpectedly since it just rocks back and forth a little bit.
Cons: 1) While it is fairly easy to assemble, the directions are a little bit opaque with regards to identifying the different screws and washers accurately; AND 2) You need the right tools--I recommend a socket wrench --to tighten the wheels properly--we had to tighten one of the wheels before it fell of after about a week of vigorous use; 3)The reason I gave this 4 stars rather than 5 is that it does not steer easily at all since the wheels do not turn they only go forward or back but it goes gang busters in a straight line and if you help your child "steer" it in circles.
The wagon can go outside but the rubber wheels will get scuffed. It rolls well (very smoothly)over carpet and other surfaces.
Ratings: I gave it 4 stars for fun but you will need to help your little one steer until he or she gets big enough to figure out how to lift the back and wriggle the whole wagon in the right direction to change course. Otherwise they do have a great time dashing along in those straight lines. I gave it 3 stars for education since it is more of a gross motor skill aid. I gave it 5 stars for durability (so far). Overall I rate this toy at 4 stars since it may be a little too easy to remove the sides and the clicking sound does get a little bit annoying sometimes.
That said we are really quite happy with this product. I would definitely buy it again and I would recommend it to a friend, just remember that it does not steer. Almost 2 months later our son can walk about 10 to 12 feet at a time without help (no walker) but he is still enjoying this classic very much and we hope he will continue to do so.
Great Wagon 2008-07-10
This is a really great wagon, my 10 month old is determined to walk and really enjoys pushing his wagon around, he also loves to ride in it with the sides taken off. The wagon is really well-made and sturdy and assembly was pretty easy, the front bumper is great as it protects our paintwork from my son's enthusiastic pushing- I can see him using this for years to come.
Perfect for beginning walkers 2008-06-26
This really is perfect for a babe learning how to toddle. It doesn't go too fast, and our little one is so delighted with it. Highly recommended.

Excelllent For Little Walkers 2008-05-27
My 13 month old son LOVES this. This is helping him learn to walk and build strength. The removable sides are also a nice bonus. Without the wooden sides he is able to climb in and out inside the house and load it easily with toys. I would recommend this to anyone with small children.
your child will thank you! 2008-05-23
