I wish they brought it sooner! He loved it and it really helped him walk, honestly... Still in a natural way. He still plays with it daily at 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2522018 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 22:40:21 +0000 dolphin 2522018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the first one and DD loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521821 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 18:54:17 +0000 Ginabean3 2521821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1! We don't have it but we have the leaf frog table which looks the same (but is stationary) and she LOVES to bang on it! Heck, even my 3 year old still likes to bang on it!</p> <p>For a walker we got the Melissa and Doug alligator chomp chomp one (haven't used it with A yet, but N loved it) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521802 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 18:32:50 +0000 delight 2521802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first one has been a big hit in our family. All the cousins keep passing it on to the next. My LO loved it until she was well over two and she would have kept playing with it but we passed it to the next kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521791 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 18:23:33 +0000 Raindrop 2521791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have number 1 but I voted for it because my friends have it and love it and when we do play dates at their house. Both my boys love playing with it! :). I highly consider getting it but we have no room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521775 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 17:52:26 +0000 Dahlia 2521775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9 month old has number 1 and has absolutely loved it since she got it at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521685 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 15:34:07 +0000 YouGotMe 2521685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the second one. It works well as a walker but LO seems to have serious issues trying to use it as a ride on toy. It's very low to the ground. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521682 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 15:32:03 +0000 Madison43 2521682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: my 2.5 yo has the first one and played with it everyday for like a year - she got it when she was 10 months old and was steadily walking a month later so she never really needed it as a walker toy, but she loved it just the same. Even now, when we have play dates, someone is always using it, even old kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521653 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 15:12:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2521653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Yes, like $15/20 maybe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521648 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 15:09:13 +0000 SweetCaroline 2521648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the first one and it is very multi-purpose for many months.

The are both very light weight so you have to have a pretty sturdy walker so they dont push the walker out from under themselves. </p> <p>The bottom one is a fun scooter but has a very wide seat to it. It was hard for my kids to really scoot on but they still loved it. </p> <p>Both of these can often be bought used for 30% of retail price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521578 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:30:32 +0000 caitlanc 2521578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ikea version of wooden walker @magnolia got.

I have no clue what I was thinking, I told my husband that I had cleaned it with the hose outside and he was like, "wait isn't it electronic?!" I replied not to worry that I had turned it off before hosing it off. He then asked me if I would hose off my computer if it was off.

We got her the 1st one and it was great. She loved it. The 2nd a friend gave us, she liked to ride on it but never would really walk with it, only the 1st one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521540 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:05:38 +0000 Aria 2521540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the first one and my daughter loved it. I do feel like it's use was pretty short lived though, because she abandoned it as soon as she started walking. The sounds are also really annoying, it just never stops making noise. But she was just as happy to play with it without the sound. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521538 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:03:40 +0000 simplyfelicity 2521538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whiskers: How long did they use it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-toy-for-a-9-month-old#post-2521537 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:03:27 +0000 MrsSRS 2521537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost three year old still likes the buttons on the first one.

He's grown out of a lot of his more "babyish" toys, so I am trying to decide what to get him next. I like the idea of getting him a push toy that does more than one thing. I have these options and was hoping to get some feedback...</p> <p>option 1: the front of this can be taken off for baby to play with on floor and provides lots of seated play time. it can also be used as a walker. It seems like a lot of fun but since DS is already 9 months (I wish I had gotten him this at 5 months or so,) I am afraid it won't get as much use as I would like. DS really has like zero light up toys (not purposely but just coincidence.) He has lots of balls, zany zoo, etc. </p> <p>Option 2: I like that this one turns into a scooter for a bit later but the front is very boring and could only be used as a walker for now. </p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>[attach=4953/16/o5hgu8.361x600.push-toy.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=4953/16/o5hgu9.600x600.push-scooter.jpg] </p>
