Amazon.com Review

So your baby has finally reached the stage where your lap is not the most exciting place to be anymore, and she's itching to get around and see new things! The only problem is that even though she's practically climbing out of your arms, she can't crawl or walk yet. Ease your baby's need to explore the world with the Safety 1st Grip'n Go Walker.

Your baby is old enough to use this walker if she is able to sit without assistance; weighs less than 30 pounds; is less than 32 inches tall; and is not yet able to walk. If you baby fits these criteria, then keep on reading if you want your child to enjoy all the health and play benefits this walker has to offer.

Whimsical characters surrounded by blinking lights and sounds will keep your baby entertained. View larger.

Designed with Safety in Mind
Not only does the Safety 1st Grip'n Go Walker meet all JPMA and ASTM safety standards, but this fun and colorful walker is also specially designed with several extra safety measures that will ensure your baby's safety as he or she moves around your house. For starters, the Grip'n Go features special safety grips located on the bottom of the walker that are designed to reduce sudden movement and the risk of tipping should your baby roam to an uneven surface in your house. Another special feature includes the safety brakes on the walker's back wheels that will keep the walker stationary during those times when you need to answer the phone or turn your back momentarily. And finally, special gripping handles are built into the walker that are designed to make your baby feel more secure.

Easy to Construct, Easy to Use, and Easy to Maintain
Constructed from durable, molded plastic, the Safety 1st Grip'n Go Walker is both lightweight -- essential, of course, for your baby to navigate easily -- and extremely easy to clean. The seat features machine-washable fabric for easy clean up, while the walker itself folds down in a few simple steps for quick and convenient storage. The walker's seat is also easily adjustable to three different heights, making this the ideal walker as your child grows. And best of all, the Grip'n Go Walker takes only minutes to assemble and requires no additional tools or special skills.

The Ultimate Test Drive
Our 9-month-old "test baby" learned to get around in the walker fairly quickly and was absolutely delighted with her newfound mobility. It's so mobile, in fact, that once you strap your baby into the walker, grown-ups and small pets will need to keep on their toes if they don't want to get run over! Our child, who is only now learning to crawl, suddenly became a fun-filled terror on wheels! We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that this walker makes a great stationary play station: simply put on the brakes and let your little one enjoy the attached toys to her heart's content. The included toys, with their whimsical, friendly faces, bendable bodies and fun blinking lights and sounds, provided our baby with loads of interactive, tactile fun. The front tray can easily serve as a spot for finger foods, or as a place to attach more toys to keep your child entertained safely in one spot while you attend to household chores or dinner. Also, we were relieved to find a toy that provided our child with tactile fun and exercise that required no batteries.

A Brief Note on your Child's Safety
While the Grip'n Go Walker is built to provide your child with as healthy and safe an experience as she will ever experience in any walker, it's important to remember that these security measures do not replace adult supervision. Providing your baby with mobility requires constant parental supervision, so make certain never leave your baby unattended. Also, make sure that she is always on an even surface free of obstacles, and never allow your baby to use her walker near any stairs or steps. The Safety 1st Grip'n Go Walker addresses several issues that older-model walkers neglected. The advanced safety features of the Grip'n Go Walker, combined with vigilant parental supervision, will give your child -- and yourself -- all the rewards that newfound mobility in a fun and playful setting can offer. In short, with vigilant parental supervision, the Safety 1st Grip'n Go Walker can offer both parents and children the best of all worlds: it offers your child a safe and secure way to explore the world, while it gives you a safe and secure -- and stationary -- place to set your baby for those few moments you need a break.

Pros:

• Provides infants with the exciting ability to explore the world
• Doubles as a safe and secure stationary play station
• Durable, lightweight, easy to use and maintain

• Requires constant and vigilant adult supervision to ensure your child's safety

Ok, for a moment - Vegas Mommy, Jun 04, 2008

Received this as a gift and only used it a few times with one child, and the seat broke. Called Saftey 1st and they want $20+ to replace the seat.

Good buy for the money - Mom to six-month old, May 19, 2008

We purchased this walker for our daughter who was five months at the time. We didn't want to spend much money and we wanted something that could act as both an exersaucer and walker. The locks on the wheels are great, so our daughter is unable to go anywhere. There's not a ton of toys, but we keep her entertained with other toys on her tray. I also appreciate that there's only one noise that can be made, and it's a mild one at that. We don't collapse it to put away much, but that is another feature we like as well. Her feet don't reach the ground yet, but a telephone book takes care of that.

I know other reviewers have expressed concerns about its durability and assembly. I was a little nervous after reading those reviews. I had nothing to worry about--it was REALLY easy and the product seems very sturdy and well put together.

Excellent Walker - B. Harper, Mar 26, 2008

I got this for my grandson. My daughter loves it and said that it is very well built. She loves the see through tray on the front. He can look through it and see what is in front of him. GREAT IDEA!!!

The safest walker on the market, I think - Tee, Feb 21, 2008

I was a bit skeptical to buy this walker after the video review that someone had posted but I went ahead and bought it anyway after checking it out in the store.

When it arrived, we did have some trouble putting it together (the same problem area as the guy in the video). However, my husband was able to snap it in (it took some maneuvering, some tools, and a few choice swear words) and has been fabulous ever since then. We've put all our weight on it, pulled and pushed, carried it by the problem leg and it hasn't budged. So it is secure once you snap it in correctly.

What I love most about this walker is how safe it is. The base is wide enough so that it can't tip forward and the best part is that if the wheels are off kilter even a tiny bit, the walker stops dead in it's tracks and can't be moved. Even going from the kitchen tile to the living room carpet (there is about an inch height difference), it stops and has to be physically lifted off the ground and carried into the next room. As with everything, you should always supervise your child when in a walker, but it makes me feel safe that if I turn my back to throw something out, I know he isn't going to go flying.

It doesn't roll so good on the carpet, but then again what does? I know there is some debate about the use of walkers, but since my son can't walk yet without holding on (he cruises like a pro), this is a really great way for him to be independent of us. I'm glad I bought it.

Baby likes it! - Jennifer Sanders, Feb 16, 2008

My 7 month old boy loves to be in his walker! I like it because it's not overloaded with toys, so I can put his toys on the tray. He likes the clear tray so he can see the floor. He only walks backward in it so far, but that's just the way he likes to do it. He can walk forward. He got the hang of it after just a couple of days! It gives me a little bit of time to do what I need to do while he's entertained and close by. Beware. the back wheels don't turn, but it's easy to lift it up and turn it if need be.
