Cosco Simple Steps Walker, Monster Syd

This has been one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's helped my son learn to stand and balance. I purchased this when my son was 4 months old. It was easy to put together. The seat is adjustable so you can lower it for smaller children. At first my son mostly only sat in it, using it as a chair and then he began to move backwards, after about a month he was moving forward. Now he is 10 months old and he can zoom all over the house, over the carpet and tile floors, and go from room to room. The bumpers on the bottom keep him from going over the front-door raised threshold. So we can even leave the front door open and he can not get outside. When we don't want him to go anywhere we can put him on our very thick rug, as he can't get very far on it. He's bumped into things (walls, doors, furniture, large kitchen appliances, etc) and nothing has any noticeable marks or damage. I would say this is very well designed. I read some of the negative reviews and our experience is quite different (using this for over 6 months - almost everyday) we never had any issues with safety, it has never tipped or fallen over. I would highly recommend this to a friend and in fact I plan on giving ours to my pregnant friend (once my son is fully walking on his own - which will probably be next month).

My needs for a walker....LightweightNot so bulkyThis was what I was looking for. I love LOVE this walker BUT I have to return it. Not because something was wrong with the product, but my baby has long legs. My baby is only 8 months and about 25 in long but I guess he has long legs. Even with the seat zipped up, his feet are completely flat on the surface and his toes are turned in. His feet turned in like that was already his problem and I have been taking care of it, so when he attempts to walk in this, he turns in his feet. I now need a walker thatnhas adjustable height. The one I have is an old one passed down to me, but it's bulky. ALSO, I found out my nephew has this walker after I purchased it and he has the same problem. His legs are long and when he walks, his back of his feet hits the back bar. His uncle Macgyvered it and was able to saw off the back bar and he's a happy baby in it. I would have done that because I really love how lightweight and less bulky this walker is and the wheels are padded so no scuffing wooden floors. I also love the blue. It was sooo easy to assemble and dissassemble too. I guess I'll have to buy the other bulky ones.

I think I looked at every walker available on Amazon and finally settled on this one. I chose it for being affordable and a well known baby products brand that I've used in the past. So many walkers seem really clunky and just too bulky. I was looking for something more streamlined and light. This walker is perfect! My granddaughter loves it and within a week she was all over the place in it. I was hesitant about the "monster" theme, but it is really subtle with two cute eyes on the front and some decoration on the seat. Not as gaudy as I thought it would be. She is "tall" for her age, so I wondered about the comments about it being too small for some babies, but it works great for her. No problems at all and we haven't had to adjust the seat yet. She really likes the toys on the tray, too, which I thought she would get bored with, but she seems to still like playing with them. Got high fives from the whole family for this purchase, which keeps her entertained and interactive. The poor doggie just keeps moving out of her way.

We've used this everyday for the last couple of months and it's held up well. Our only issue is that our kiddo was too tall for it from the beginning, even with the seat at the highest setting. That hasn't stopped us from using it, or caused us to replace it (as I'm sure we'll run into the same issue with any other walker, too). The back bar does hit the bottoms of his feet when he's really zooming around, but it doesn't seem to bother him. It's just so convenient to have a safe, fun place to put him while we're cooking, doing chores, etc. No problem at all with it tipping, even at high speed over differences in floor height (wood to tile, thresholds). Overall would highly recommend for short or "normal" height babies. Tall baby parents, maybe look at those pricier ones that might be more in line with the height recommendations for use of this type of product.

●My baby loves it. She literally glides through the house like a pro. We have tile. It's alright on carpet, but probably better for low carpets.●Personally, I think she's a little tall for it. She was about 25 inches at 8 months when we got it. The height settings are by a zipper on the seat, so it doesn't adjust much. We also were gifted the Emily BabyTrend Walker and she fits much better in it due to the height settings. She likes both, but I think she prefers this one (monster) we will probably just switch her to the Emily permanently soon, though, as she's growing fast.●It's not bulky, which I love, and am sure is why our baby does too. It's very light, so all that makes it easier for her to move around●Overall pleased with this walker because my baby loves it so much.

It got 4 stars because your kid will roll over ur feet will if u dont learn how to keep ur toes up. My baby loves this thing. U can hang extra teethers from it. I think the direction of the wheels is a safety feature...the wheels dont pivot in all directions. My boyfriend hates this feature...i dont mind and the baby got the hang of how to maneuver it! We've had it several months and its only tipped over once but i think that was the fault of a toy on the ground, not the fault of the monster car. Id still say its safe, he was not hurt . U just gotta keep an eye on ur baby ! (Which is with most toys anyway)
