I bought this for my daughter when she was 7 months old. She is now 4. She and her younger sister still play with this often. I have a toy chest full of many toys. This is the only toy that I have purchased that has been used for so long and so often. It's great!!
There are 3 types of blocks. Some that are fabric that are best for the 6-18 month age group. There are rubber like blocks that are best fro 9-24 months. Then there are the wooden blocks with lots of pictures. My kids still stack the blocks and view the pictures on the wooden blocks. My 4 year old loves to build stuff with the wooden blocks.
The walker/cart was used as a walker and now is used as a stepping stool.
I recently purchased this for my nephew who is 12 months old and he loves it. His parents doubted that there would be another toy he receives that will be used as much as this Block Walker.
This is an A+++++ toy! If I could only buy one toy for my kids it would be this Around the Block Walker.
Great Walker! February 20, 2007

We bought this walker for our daughter's first birthday and she absolutely loves it. She plays with it all the time and is really proud of herself for learning to walk with it. She just beams when she is using it.
The solid wood construction makes it very durable. Its tip-proof design makes it safe too. My daughter can pull to a standing without the walker falling over. She even climbs on the front of it and it still does not tip.
Did I mention how cute it is too? Reminds me of those good old fashion wood toys but kicked up a notch. Can't say enough good things about this walker. One of the best toy purchases we have made yet.
Great purchase, many different uses! September 7, 2006

We purchased this about a month ago, and are really enjoying it. My daughter is just 10 months old, and not quite walking yet. She very easily picked up how to walk while holding onto the wagon, and loves walking around the house. The wagon is cleverly designed so it is very hard (I'd say almost impossible for a child) to pull it over.
She also loves lifting and closing the lids and putting the blocks in and out of the compartments. The blocks are really cool too - I especially like the rubber number blocks.
One of the best toys we have... April 15, 2007

I can't think of a better toy. There are a gazillion ways to use this toy, from pre-walking through kindergarten. It's a set of blocks, a bead maze, a walker, a pretend lawn mower, a pretend shopping cart, a pretend car, a pretend doll stroller, a step-stool, a storage chest.... And it has wheels and lids, which are the best inventions on earth as far as our 15-mo is concerned.
If you have hardwood floors, I recommend a quick fix to slow the cart down for pre-walkers... With our hardwood floors, this Walker rolled too fast for our pre-walker to control. So, I super-glued foam-rubber KidKushions** onto the corners of the back edge. The KidKushions (sold as babyproofing supplies) drag along the floor just enough to slow the cart down.
[...]
Now that our guy is walking pretty well, he still loves this toy. I recently used some bicycle-chain lubricant on the wheels so that they would stop squeaking so much. However, I'm not sure I'd recommend doing that if you still have a pre-walker. The wheel friction also helped to slow the cart down a bit.
Fantastic toy!! December 6, 2006

We bought this toy for our daughter for her first birthday. She absolutely loves it! It helped teach her to walk and I love that it doesn't tip over like the plastic walkers do. We have so much fun with the blocks as well. This is a really great purchase!
