Although as adults we did not like the music (it seemed repetitive and annoying), he seemed to really enjoy it. These days Lara is more interested in the activities on the plate than the walker itself so she likes to take the plates off and sit with them on the floor.

Interactive features encourage fine motor skills and include five piano keys, a phone, bead spinner, two dangling toys and more.The Leapfrog Baby Walker boasts 5 features that make it stand apart from the VTech walker and they are all things that make me, as a parent, very happy. This suggested age range may be based on what age range the manufacturer recommends will like the product best, or what age range is appropriate based on safety information and restrictions.

Lara, her cousins and her friends have been putting the brand new Leapfrog Scout and Friends Baby Walker to the ultimate test - a direct comparison with the popular VTech First Steps Baby Walker. It moved a little too fast that if he weren't already supporting himself enough I wouldn't trust it not to shoot out from under him. She first started playing with it without the wheels, just using the buttons and sounds on the front of the Learning Band walker. On Nanny's VTech (which is many many years old) the wheels have worn and become shiny with age so it only moves cleanly on a carpet that offers quite a lot of resistance.But a baby laying under it might get fed up as it does not play long enough unless you press the buttons.

Group Black's collective includes Essence Opens a new window, The Shade Room Opens a new window and Naturally Curly Opens a new window. manipulative features include piano keys, a phone, peek-a-boo door, book page, bead spinner, high-five paw, toy gears and two dangling toys. Such factors as a child's developmental skill set and toy popularity help determine the enjoyment levels of a product. All the cool stuff on front that you see in the picture does move when the child pushes the walker, but doesn't respond to direct manipulation, which is kind of a bummer. As a former teacher, I have a special place in my heart for anything for kids that can both entertain and teach.it also features three play modes for listening to music, playing learning games and getting active.

The setting for the speed are on the wheels closest to baby which means sometimes they get bumped or stepped on during use. Three play modes grow with children by introducing colors, shapes, letters and numbers and encouraging physical movement. Unfortunately, it was a 3 year old VERY used hand-me down and it recently broke (the voice/lights don't work). We got that walker as a hand me down, my sister only used it for one baby and it has stopped working. Packed with learning and development features, this interactive toy easily transforms from a baby gym to a floor-play activity panel to a walker with locking wheels and speed control.

We also got her a couple of other push walker type toys to try some variety, but she had no interest what-so-ever in any other walker but the Learning Band walker. fun manipulatives develop fine motor skills as baby opens and closes Violet’s dog door, gives Scout a high five or plays on the piano.
