Advantages: very robust and sturdy, bright colours

Disadvantages: none yet !!!

At first I was in two minds wether to buy a baby walker at all as a lot of people don't think they are very safe.
I didn't have any problems with my first child apart from the fact he got easier access to things he should'nt have like my cd's etc but as far as safty was concerned i had no trouble at all.
In the baby book I recieved when I was pregnant the second time it said that 52 out of 54 baby walkers tested were unsafe but it did not state the makes and names of the two safe ones.
We decided to go ahead and buy one anyway as our first child loved his walker.
We first went to Mothercare World where we saw the chicco walker and we knew that that was the one for us.
We called over an assistant who was very unhelpfull, she said that it was the last one in stock and we could not buy the display model ans she did not know when the next delivery was and even if there was going to be one or even the price of it. We left disheartened.
We then went to toy's r us at Parkhead forge retail park but it was out of stock there but they were much more helpfull and they knew it cost £34.99 quite expensive for a walker but worth it. they suggested trying toys r us at Govan so we set off and yea ha managed to get one there.
When we got it home it was very sturdy and we did the door test which involves raming it hard into the door frame to see if it would crack it didn't and loads of other tests such as if it glided across the floor easily, it did and also for comfort it was well padded and very roomy and got the thumbs up from our little treasure so on the whole if you are looking for a baby walker you can't go wrong with this one
