V-Tech Sit to Stand Learning Walker

This is one of those wonderful toys that spans multiple stages of development and can be used in numerous ways. The Vtech - Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker is essentially two toys in one. It can be used as a walk behind walker to help young children starting to take steps with stability and confidence. The front portion is also a removable interactive component with songs, buttons, lights and puzzles which can be played with on the walker or by itself.


We first started using this toy when Kira was learning to sit up. The buttons are large and easy for a young infant to press. The music is your typical canned nursery rhyme type, but not too annoying and volume can be controlled. It can also be turned off completely if you so desire. Buttons teach animals, animal sounds, colors, shapes and numbers. There is a pretend phone that was a huge hit in this house, cogs that turn, and shape puzzle pieces held on by springy attachments that need to be placed in the correct place.

When Kira started pulling to stand and taking steps, this walker was great compared to another type that she had because it is so stable. The wide base of the legs and the relative weight of the walker make it great for stability, unlike other similar walkers that tend to run away from the child.

My younger daughter is already starting to become interested in the interactive part of this toy, and I know that she will be off and running with it in no time. This walker is also very reasonably priced for something that can be used for a good period of time.
