Is the walker part good for a beginner? My 9 month old is starting to pull herself up

Yes. It worked well for my son and it doesn't move very quickly so it's great for allowing them to balance. He is 15 months, walking, and still playing with the toy. The other toy that is great for kids that are starting to stand and walk is the VTech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker.

Yes, the seat pops up to form a handle for the child to hold on to. My grandson will hold on to it and walk all over the house. They have carpet and hardwood flooring. The toy also has buttons that when pressed will play music. He loves this too.

I would say yes, if she will be doing it on carpet. the carpet will give a little resistance to help her with the walking. My little started pushing the dog backwards by holding onto its ears and head. You may need to provide some extra resistance the first few times she starts to use it in case the dog starts to roll. I would not suggest a new walker use this on a hard floor -- needs a little resistance to help steady their beginning steps.

My daughter is 18 months and just now started actually using it. She still doesn't slide down by herself but she can climb the ladder. I expect she'll still use it for at least another year or so. We keep this one inside in her playroom.

I believe they recommend use for older babies because it is designed to work for toddlers after they are walking, the activities are all accessible from the sides of the walker. As my great-grandson hasn't hit that weight yet, I don't know how much the seat can support. As it's very well constructed, I'm sure we'll be using it beyond the 25 lb range.

My baby is nine months old and around 17 pounds. She can pull herself up on it just fine. It is pretty stable because it has three base legs.

I bought this for my granddaughter for her first birthday, she was not walking yet and they do not live close but once she did start walking at about 13 months and still, it is one of her favoritie toys but....I am not sure if it ever tipped over when she was first walking. She is kind of tough so I don't think it would have bothered her. sorry if I am not answering your question.

I bought this when my son was only 3 months. He started playing around 7 months, when he can sit REALLY WELL. He would play for 20 minutes every day.When he started crawling and pulling to stand up, it is more fun. The 4 bars are great for learning to stand up, and cruise a little bit. Now at 11 months, he plays for at least an hour with it every day. The tree house is only 30 inches tall, so if the baby is taller than 30 inches (usually about a year old), he/she would not be able to stand inside without touching the top. Anyway, I feel it is great from 6 months, even better for 10 months. I bought this when my son was only 3 months. He started playing around 7 months, when he can sit REALLY WELL.

Totally depends on your baby! My son was 17 pounds at 3 months (98th %), so I'm sure he's a bit earlier than average. We is got this for him at 3 1/2 months and we started using it for short periods so he could get the standing up feeling and start learning the toys for cause and effect. Now, at 4 months, he loves to jump! We still have it on the setting that keeps him closest to the ground because he's average on height (25 inches now). His feet are almost flat, but the next setting is too high. In any case, we should be able to use this until he's walking, so many months of use. :)

If you want her to use it as a push walker, I think the large one would be better. We got the small one for our 1 year old and it's too large for him to ride, and the handle was too short for him to use it effectively as a walker.

It should be fine for a walker/steady sitter, so at that age it depends on your specific child.

Definitely yes. I bought it for my daughter who is 2 yrs 9 months and she cannot play on her own. I do help her putting the pieces together when trying to build something from the manual it comes with. She can put a few pieces alone when building something she wants, but still kind of hard for her.

My LO began using this walker at age 6 months, but every child is different. He was sitting on his own by this age.

I don't think it's very stable. When my son first started furniture walking he grabbed the one of the higher pieces, maybe the dragonfly, and pulled. The whole thing tipped over on to him. Luckily he was in the inner part of the U shape so he didn't get hurt. I really think that the idea of this is great but each stage are poor substitutes for the separate toys that are meant for that particular stage.

That depends on how developed your child is. If they are sitting up at 6 months and are able to pull a little lever then 6 months is appropriate. I do not agree with the other person. If this is hard for you to assemble, then you are not capable of raising a child. This was super easy to assemble, all you might need is a screw driver. And if the child's hand does put pressure on the "road", yes it does stop, only at that very moment, it starts right back up again though. I think that helps teach cause and effect. My boy and girl loves this toy. The stand on it, jump on it and it still works great.

It's very stable. My daughter at 9 months has no problem pulling herself up with it. My 3 year-old has even sat on the top so it's sturdy.

My daughter will be 7 months on the 10th and she's not crawling yet also. She Has the piano gym and She Uses It All The time! It's nice because the piano flips so she can sit up at it and "play" the piano that way too! I recommend the piano gym because she will be able to play with it when she gets a bit older too!

My son was two months premature. We bought him this walker when he was probably three or four months old. He has always been on the short side (even now at 13 months old) and this walker worked perfectly for him until he started being able to climb out of it at 11 months old. The lowest setting is pretty short. There are 3 height settings -- if I remember correctly. My son was probably around 22-24 inches when we started putting him in this.

You should not put a child in it, however, our very early walker (couldn't walk alone yet) did great with it. It's sturdy, and if you worry, just fill it with books or toys to weigh it down and it will go slower.
