is this a good choice for a 17 month old or this toy is manly for new walkers? what do you suggest for a tall baby ? She does not need a walker, I am looking for a stroller that does not tip over easily for her to play with her dolls .thanks

I have a 3 year old son, and 18 month old niece and the both LOVE it. My niece pushes her babies around in it. My niece's height 32 inches, my son 40 inches. I would say that she would really enjoy this. I bought it knowing that I didn't want a traditional "walker" , I wanted something she would enjoy for a few years to come.

Thank you so much !!! Whew...one more question if you don't mind. I have a 2 1/2 year old that is about 28 lbs and I keep reading some concerns about the size of the toddler and being comfortable. Have you any experience or comments about this and are you overall happy with this stroller? Thank you so much for your time !

Our pediatrician said nine months to a year old before using any bike trailer (which is what we mostly use it for). Our daughter has always been above average size too. I'd ask the doctor what he suggests. We love this stroller though, it's great as a bike trailer and we will soon try it as a stroller and jogger.

The bouncing depends on the child using it. The springs are firm but the child weight will help offset the firmness. Both my sons have and are using it and both have it enjoyed it very much. There are three height adjustments to allow the toy to grow with the child. I think it has really helped with the development of their leg strength. My older sone was walking before age 1 and my other son just turned 9 months and it well on his way of doing the same. The safety of it is also very good, whereas it won't tip over which allows you to put the child in the exersaucer and do other things with the child nearby. If I needed to, I would definitely buy another one without a second thought. The bouncing depends on the child using it. The springs are firm but the child weight will help offset the firmness.

It is a a very cute baby buggy so it lives beyond its usefulness as a walker. I would think it will be a fun toy at 2and 3 years old and probably longer. It is an ingenious idea!

Once your LO is tall enough to stand flat footed, it's too small. My daughter is 10 months old, and small for her age, and is almost too big. Plus, once they're walking, they won't be as interested. I got this one for the reconstructive feature. But if I had to do it over again I would have gotten a walker and an activity center. My daughter really does love it, tho. Especially the alligator :)

I bought this stroller when my baby was 4months old. He was supported and held in there well with the shoulder straps and seat recline. I didn't run with it as I read you shouldn't until the baby is 9months, but as for walking on off road terrain with some bumps, my son was totally supported and I felt beyond confident with the stroller. I would say if you are planning to walk with your newborn he/she would be fine.

We used it from 4 months and still use it every now and then (my son is currently 11 months old). It is definitely a go-to toy when I just need to be hands free for a couple of minutes, but he's outgrown staying in it much longer than 5 minutes at a time. At 8 months, we probably used it several times a day still, but it might not be worth the $ at this point. I would be more concerned with the height. At 30 inches, my son is at the last height level, and I'm pretty sure that's the maximum recommended height, too. We'll probably pack it up right around his birthday...

We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age. He enjoyed straddling it inside and, as he grew, could use the pedals to power himself. If it's used outside, I would still supervise your child, as sometimes little people become distracted, looking all around and can tip themselves over. Their feet will be the brakes, so supervision is also needed where stopping is critical, or on downward slopes. Our grandson's favourite part of this toy is the 'trunk', where he can stow a stuffed animal, toy, or other gadgets. Radio Flyer is a great brand, and we have bought other pieces as gifts. I think you'll be pleased if you go ahead with this purchase. We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age.

Thank you for your reply ... I have actually had this stroller for 11 months and I've been putting the Graco Snugride in the back the whole time. It is completely safe and snug. The weight of the carrier falls well beween the two sets of wheels and is extremely sturdy. I appreciate your warning of "looking like such and incompetant" ... but I would never, ever put my children in danger, even if I don't follow every rule to the letter.

This is for an older child. My son is a big 2 year old and perfect for him. For new born, look at a snap and go. I loved that, much easy than traditional strollers.

I wouldn't think this would be a good one for a baby that can't support their head yet. It's a nice stroller when they get a little older unless you live in the country then it sucks and it's hard to turn and jog with.

We bought ours when our baby was about 5 1/2 months and she is still using it at 8 1/2 months but she also rly loves her little Neptune walker now so we rotate what she uses. One thing to note... It's rly big! But so much fun to watch your baby in it.

Hi Laura - i purchased it for my 4 yr old grandaughter- but it's a beautiful stroller and if your 7 yr old loves her dollies, and real Role model playing- i'm sure she'd love this - it's very realistic - my 4 yr old was a bit too young to truly appreciate the beauty of this stroller -

Hello Tena, I wouldn't recommend to buy this item until the baby is older. As the strapping belt is only around the waist and NOT secure enough for a 9 month old. I'd suggest to wait with this purchase or buy something that has the belt similar to the stroller.

You are very welcome :) I use it on my second baby and still love it. I hope you find a stroller you are happy with! good luck!

IT is probably not tall enough. I would just buy her a regular baby stroller instead. She can definitely push those!
