Vtech has two models, one with a red handle and one with a green. Unlike the red handle, the green handle has a rubber strip around the back wheels that give better traction on floor boards and tiles and you are able to lock the back wheels as well. AND is $10 cheaper than the red handle model. I could only find the green handle model at Kmart for $49, as opposed to red handle model at BigW for $59. I have read that the front play panel which comes off had a habit of falling off while the child is pushing the walker. I have found as long as it ...
Read moreis attached properly this doesn't happen. Also people have commented that the phone doesn't have a cord. I have found this a good thing. If it did the cord would need to be long enough the child could put it to their ear and that means it could become rapped around the wheels, and my boy loves to hand me the phone to say hello. Used as a walker the phone doesn't fall off either so no need for a cord. The music is good and my child really enjoys the front panel. I would highly recommend this model, my little boy pulled himself up and started walking with this as soon as we put it in front of him at 8 months. A month later and he practically runs behind it.

I bought this for my son when he first started to cruise around furniture. This has probably been one of the best toys we have bought, as he has used it frequently for over a year now.
Even after he had outgrown the walker part of it, he still loves to use the activity board to play with.
My only annoyance would be that the phone handle isn't attached to the board by anything and is often misplaced around the house - other than that it's a great toy.

Best $50 I have ever spent. I have had this toy for about 5 months. My baby loves it. Loves it as a walker and loves the toys on the front. Really the only toy you need. I take mine everywhere. Quite simply the best toy ever
Not only was this great for teaching my daughter to walk, she loved the interactive, detachable lights and sounds face.
The only issue is the stability of the walker, we needed to hold it initially as it rolls away from under them as they push it. As they work out how to keep it stable it was awesome and the best thing for helping her to learn to walk. She took her first steps unassisted at just under 11 months and I think this was aided by this products use in the months prior.
Detachable lights and sounds face, best product for learning to walk.
Stability. wasn't very stable initially until they learn to balance on it.

Fantastic walker that you can still use well before your baby is walking as the electronic part is detachable. We put the walker part together about a month after we bought it thinking my daughter could just sit up and play with it as she was only just standing and not interested in walking at all but as soon as it was together she wanted to push it and now loves (assisted) walking. The grooves on the wheels help to slow down the walker so she doesn't go so quick which was a real problem with another cheap walker we were given with smooth wheel...
Read mores. Bought this at 50% off, not sure I would have paid full retail for it but definitely a good buy at 50% off. Lots of activities, textured wheels to reduce speed Phone piece is not permanently attached and is always getting lost. Expensive if paying full price- 16 reviews

We bought this walker for our son for his first Christmas. At about 5 months old he started to play with the front toys (includes a phone and mini piano etc) He was constantly choosing this toy to play with amongst all the others, so it was good you can detach it from the walker. About a month later he started to both sit and crawl so this toy became even better.
At first he would sit and play with the front toys again, but then he started to crawl holding onto it. Over the next few months he continued to learn to walk on it and soon enough...
Read more he could. The only downside is its very noisy. But my son - even though he can already walk, wont let us take this away, he loves to play with it too much. In my opinion this was one of the best purchases we made for our son because of the countless hours of play! Plus we hardly ever have to replace the batteries. Good for all ages, fun and interactive Can be noisy- 19 reviews

Yesterday I purchased this toy for our twin boys, as they begin to stand and are trying to walk at 7 months and found this terrific all-in-one toy.
With a sturdy design which supported and encouraged the baby's first steps. It has a detachable learning centre packed with activities. With shapes and light-up musical keys which introduces letters, words, numbers, animals, colours, catchy sing-along songs and melodies that are in an English accent and not American.
A moving butterfly, discs and rollers develop hand skills and a removable rat...
Read moretling phone is great pretend playing with them. I agree with previous review about having a cord to the phone to prevent loss but perhaps its a safety issue also?! It was really easy to assemble and can be folded and stored away. It's a very versatile, as the toy tray can come off so they can sit and play with it on the floor, then sit up and play with it on the stand, if it moves then crawl after it. Then they can use it as a walker. A great toy and recommended to all babies from 6 months and up.Related Articles

My boy loves this I actually had to put it away at 18 months because he was driving me banana's running up and down the wooden floors (very loud) but when they are learning it's fantastic! Have to be careful with any walker as they will slip when trying to start off but this walker is better then most of the push alongs I've seen much more to do and play with...
Everything, music, lights, things to play with
The little phone coma off and gets lost wish it was held on with a string or something but no biggie

I bought this for my child as she was in that stage where she would be pushing around her activity table and thought its time to buy her a walker. Im glad I did because she loves it.
This walker is a must for any child, it slowly builds their confidence in learning how to walk.
I love this walker because it has many features that will entertain your child for ages as its very interactive! It has a detachable face which you can attach to the cot or have it on the floor. The walker itself is very sturdy and wont tip over and is the perfect height.
Nothing at all!

The VTech walker has kept our daughter amused for hours over the past 11 months. The front panel has plenty of different buttons, lights and tunes to keep her entertained. I also like that it's educational.
She learnt to pull herself up on the handle and now loves the freedom she gets from pushing it around the house.
Considering how much use it has, the batteries seem to last for ages, we've only changed them once.
We take it with us wherever we go, it's a trusty toy that can be used indoors our outside.
Has kept our daughter amused for hours
Hard to collapse for travel, although it is possible! The front panel slips off sometimes.
I bought this toy from a second hand store as my little girl is walking along furniture and has recently started standing by herself. Close to xmas and already have another different type of walker on layby for her, seen this for $10 and couldn't not grab it for her! The first time she played with it, she didn't leave it for nearly half an hour! I love this toy, and if I know now how good it was and didn't have the one I have now, I would of defiantly bought a brand new one full price!
Everything! Interactive, noisy and all the things babies love! And it's educational!
Doesn't fold up and can be a bit loud!

Good value given the amount of things there are to do with this toy. As others have mentioned, the phone is something likely to go missing given it isn't attached, but that's about the worst of it!
Lots of songs and different activities to play with. Proved to be a very popular toy in our household.
We didn't pay for ours, it was given as a present, but I have seen them for both $50 as well as around $80. Personally, I think $50 is pretty cheap given how interactive the toy is. Would be great if you could put a stopper on it so that little ones can lean on it because if they stand up on it before they are ready they will tip over pretty quickly with the walker.

We didn't hesitate buying this Baby Walker after seeing a family member had one. With the detachable activity center our child began using this at home when she was about 6 months, and we took it everywhere we went in the car. When she began trying to walk this walker was perfect. It's sturdy frame never tipped over with her weight (not like the old fashioned wooden trolley walkers). It's compact and easy to fold up and store. We were initially going to buy a walker with the built in seat but preferred to buy this product as it offered a lot...
Read more more freedom of movement and the option to remove the activity centre. Our child is almost 2 now and she still gets alot of use out of this (zooming around the house). I definately recommend this product. Colourful, musical, learning aspects. Teaches baby to keep balance and to walk.- 3 reviews
I love playing with the learning centre with my 5 month old baby girl. She gets very excited and giggles alot when playing. Learning centre is easily clicked on and off. I am sure she would love having it as a walker when she's ready. I'm also sure that she will be playing with it for a few more years. Its very good quality and well made. I highly recommend this product and I will be buying more of vtech's toys.
Easy to put together, teaches numbers, letters, words and fun catchy melodies. Very colourful.
Absolutely nothing at all.

This is a very educational toy that will bring hours of entertainment with the colourful buttons, music & sounds and this front section can detach and be used as a walker. My son pretty much learnt to walk whilst pushing it around the house and it's very sturdy so will hold up to quite a lot as it was pushed into walls & everything quite hard - very durable.
plays lovely tunes baby will love and very educational also teaching numbers, colours & shapes. Front will detach so baby can use as a walker and is great when learning to walk
quite expensive however I borrowed from a friend but probably worth the money as very well used
