We had a jumperoo though :-) so I guess it's the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002292 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:46:27 +0000 autumnlove 2002292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Radio Flyer walker wagon, FP doll stroller and a shopping cart...we get good use out of all 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002287 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:44:42 +0000 Mrsjets 2002287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leah: there was no judgement in my post about sit in walkers, I just wanted to be clear on the ones I did have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002212 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:17:44 +0000 lawbee11 2002212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Vtech one and the FP stroller walker. She preferred the Vtech when she was younger, but now (17 months) she prefers the FP one because she loves pushing her stuffed animals and baby doll around in it. The FP one was a gift and I was initially annoyed at having 2 but she's gotten a lot of use out of both of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002208 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:14:10 +0000 Orchid 2002208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: ok. I understand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002198 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:08:05 +0000 Mamasig 2002198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leah: I knew what you meant. It's just that some push toys like the ones we have are not as steady as the vtech or wooden ones you mentioned. Also, I did use a traditional walker. It was used more as a baby holder because my son didn't really ever "walk" in it. He stayed in one place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002183 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:56:27 +0000 Orchid 2002183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: @Mamasig: I meant the push toy ones. I'm aware of the safety issues related to the other type of walkers. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002085 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:04:20 +0000 Mamasig 2002085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have any walkers but have about 4-5 push toys that we keep outside and inside (train, lawn mower with bubbles), grocery cart, etc). DS loves those things and has been playing with all of them since he could walk. He's 2 now. He doesn't get tired of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002024 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 08:32:40 +0000 Mrsjets 2002024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 0 sit in walkers but have 4 push toy walkers. We have 2 living spaces plus the basement (where our office) is so it's not so bad, I just hope we don't get any as gifts for L who is almost 10 months! Also, J still plays with the car ones at 2.5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2002012 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 08:21:55 +0000 Smurfette 2002012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. One was a hand-me down after I bought the Vtech. She loved the Vtech one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-more-than-1-walker#post-2001959 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 06:55:58 +0000 Orchid 2001959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you? Do you?</p> <p>We have an annoying v-tech walker that was a gift. LO loved it ... sigh. I planned to get a wooden one before we received the gift, but I'm wondering if it makes sense to have a second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-decide-which-walker-i-should-keep#post-941398 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:26:25 +0000 Mrsjets 941398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would either return the vtec and get something new he dosent have or keep the vtec and donate the fisher price to a daycare/friend/organization. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-decide-which-walker-i-should-keep#post-941391 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:25:34 +0000 MamaMoose 941391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: I can say with 100% certainty keep the VTECH one. My LO was gifted the FP one by my MIL and I'm not a huge fan. We recently were visiting my cousin and they have the VTECH one and it is SO MUCH BETTER. The VTECH one has breaks on the wheels which is amazeballs when they are learning to pull up but can't actually push/walk yet. My LO has done many a faceplant trying to pull up on the FP and then having it roll out from under her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-decide-which-walker-i-should-keep#post-941383 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:23:40 +0000 regberadaisy 941383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 15 months and still loves to play with the VTech one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-decide-which-walker-i-should-keep#post-941378 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:22:49 +0000 keiki_mama 941378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a pretty good walker but still plays with the Vtech walker all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-decide-which-walker-i-should-keep#post-941372 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:21:55 +0000 loveisstrange 941372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the VTech one and C really loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-decide-which-walker-i-should-keep#post-941360 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:21:02 +0000 cranberryapple 941360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we were gifted a Fisher Price walker (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Musical-Activity/dp/B00428LIZC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1373999038&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=fisher+price+walker" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Musical-Activity/dp/B00428LIZC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1373999038&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=fisher+price+walker</a>) at Christmas time. It's okay, but then Grandma gifted DS this Vtech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/VTech-80-077000-Sit-to-Stand-Learning-Walker/dp/B000NZQ010/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1373998950&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+walker" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/VTech-80-077000-Sit-to-Stand-Learning-Walker/dp/B000NZQ010/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1373998950&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+walker</a>) for his birthday, which is much better rated and it looks much "funner" than the Fisher Price walker. </p> <p>Since we have already used the Fisher Price one, I don't know whether we should return the Vtech one, or keep it as well. What do you think? DS already knows how to walk now, so it's less a tool for learning to walk and more for pushing for fun, and playing with the noise-making portion. I don't think we would have gotten a walker for ourselves if they weren't gifted. Which should I keep? </p> [attach=2025/13/mq51c3.376x600.71aaW980UxL._SL1500_.jpg] [attach=2025/13/mq51c5.361x600.81-oYMNTMvL._SL1500_.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-recommendation#post-678437 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 21:25:37 +0000 Mrsjets 678437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No judgment but this article was one of many I read when reading up on walkers after a friend smuggled one into Canada.<br /> <a href="http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/22/the-dangers-of-baby-walkers/" rel="nofollow">http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/22/the-dangers-of-baby-walkers/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-recommendation#post-678391 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 21:03:57 +0000 StbHisMrs 678391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Don't feel guilty and don't let anyone make you feel guilty! We used this walker with our chubby legged LO at 5-6 months, she started walking at 10 months and has no issues.<br /> I also used a walker with my 11 yo son, no problems either. I think the problem begins when babies are left in their walkers for hours on end. We also used a jumperoo ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-recommendation#post-678235 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:16:14 +0000 VanillaBean 678235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As noted by Zippylef regarding walkers. </p> <p>Here's an article on it about the why and safety of using walkers and tips if you decide to move forward in purchasing one. </p> <p><a href="http://www.cpnonline.org/CRS/CRS/pa_walkers_pep.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cpnonline.org/CRS/CRS/pa_walkers_pep.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-recommendation#post-678155 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:19:53 +0000 BelugaBean 678155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Chicco Dance Walker. LO is about 28ish inches (probably, I'm not sure) and around 20 pounds and fits just fine. We don't leave her in there for too long at a time and once she can use the push behind walker we'll probably switch her to that (I got nervous reading about the leg muscles too after we got one for Christmas). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-recommendation#post-678154 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:19:33 +0000 loveisstrange 678154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: i was going to suggest you do some research when I saw the thread.

He is turning 2 next month and still won't let me put it away. I think he has fond memories of walking with it when he was younger. It is cute and useful but has a short lifespan. I bought it on sale for $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walker-recommendation#post-670866 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:26:47 +0000 keiki_mama 670866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: We have the same one and LO really loves it.

LO likes to crawl all over it and basically use it all of the ways except the correct one. If I have it to do over again, I would have gotten the radio flyer one My nephew has it and LO loves it. </p>
