we brought this for our daughter before she could stand, at first she struggled with it as when she used it to stand or pull herself up it would move foward as there are no brakes and she would fall. once she became a bit more steady on her feet she loved walking with it and the activities on the front are great for when she just wants to sit and play and as they are on the front theey dont distract her when she tries to walk with it. because the activity board on the front is detachable its great for her to have on the floor and keeps her entertained with its lights and music. its only downfaall i would say is that you cant fold it when its not in use. its a good height for my daughter who is one and the wheels arnt that loose that it is too fast for her.
