walker wagons

 

 

 

Asa is only seven months (well, in a few days he'll be seven months) but since he's been crawling for the past month, I've been thinking about walker wagons. Now, in no way shape or form do I want to rush my baby into walking (gah, it's crazy how fast they grow) but I do want to be prepared.

Jamie posted pretty adorable instagrams of her little guy loving his Radio Flyer walker wagon. It made me fall in love with that wagon. I do like the classic look of the Radio Flyer and it's pretty reasonable price wise. Above are some other ones we are considering.

I found this really great post about walker wagons here if you are interested.

When I worked at Grasshopper, the Plan Toys Baby Walker Wagon was one of the most popular items. It has friction on the wheels and a little break and comes with a full set of non toxic wooden blocks. Babies and older kids loved playing with the floor model. I like it as an indoor wagon...maybe one indoor and the Radio Flyer for outdoors? Is that overkill?

Do you/did you use a walker wagon for your little one? I'd love to hear.

My daughter liked the Plan Toys baby walker. She would push it from one end of the house to the other. And then get very mad when she hit a wall. We spent a lot of time turning her around : ). It was pretty adorable. Now that she is a confidant walker at 17 months the walker wagon does not get much use, but the blocks are still fun.

We bought one for my daughter, although I don't recommend you make the exact purchase as we did. What looked like a well-made product made in the USA turned out to be a piece of crap made in China. Anyway, I think having one around was the best thing for her to gain the confidence to let go of a piece of furniture and walk around without holding hands with someone. She is 15 months old and now uses the wagon as a ride, while I push, of course. I push her as we make frequent stops around the house so that she can gather up her toys and put them in the cart with her - this way she has been learning prepositions and simple commands like, "go" "again" "more" "stop"

Hi, We have the Radio Flyer. I was able to find one in good shape on craigslist. Most important feature: HEAVY. the others are just too light to allow enough resistance. Plus he'll probably still like it when he's two. My kid's 22 months and we still get a lot of use out of it.

Cool and enjoyable toy for kids. I'm sure they will love this. Please just always consider safety.

This is very helpful for kids that just starts crawling then attempts walking. You will only need to supervise them still.
