BRIO baby walker - The classic
The BRIO learning baby walker is a classic walker that has long been seen on the market. BRIO is known for design classics of high quality. The products are loved by many people around the world. The classic baby walker is no exception. The BRIO Learning Walker is one of many classic walkers. Among others, the Danish brand Krea has made a similar walker in red and black. The design and shape of BRIO walkers are well-known and often what one refers to as a baby walker. The price is often really good on the classic models, and therefore you get a walker for incredibly little money. The downside is that they are not much more than a walker. There are no toys or activities that can provide the child with any play other than learning to walk.
First impression
Beautiful and sleek design. The design is timeless and very simple. The classic design is often what one associates with a baby walker. It is beautiful and has a design you would want to have standing in the living room. However, the design is not very 'child-friendly' as there are no special features that catch the eye or otherwise stimulate the sensory impressions. It may seem a bit boring to some children. However, this can quickly be remedied by placing some stuffed animals or other toys in the walker.
VALUE: Learning to walk
The walker is incredibly stable. A couple of books or something heavy in the bottom gives the walker extra stability. The handle is made of metal, and what happens if the child hits their head or teeth on this? - Ouch. However, the handle is not very high, which is a plus, as it therefore fits children down to 9 months. The handle has 2 adjustment options depending on the desired height of the handle.
Play value
The play value of this walking cart is limited. The walking cart has nothing that invites play. There are no small trinkets or fun gadgets for play. The timeless and fine design of the walking cart allows the child's imagination to be tested - which may be good enough. If the walking cart becomes too dull in expression, one can supplement with stuffed animals or other toys in the cart - Let the child take a walk with their favorite stuffed animals.
Is the walking cart worth the money?
Yes. It is affordable and has a sleek design. The quality is really good, which is why many daycare centers use this. You get what you pay for, but not more.
Hape Wonder Walker - High Play Value
Beautiful wooden walking cart from Hape. This walking cart comes in beautiful colors with many details, features, and invites a lot of fun and play. The walking cart is made of wood, which makes it robust and very durable. It is heavy, so it does not tip over easily. Although the Hape walking cart is a bit heavy, it is no problem for the child to push it in front of them. The weight ensures that the walking cart does not roll too fast when the child walks or tips over if the child hangs onto the handle to stand up. When you have the Hape Wonder Walker in hand, you have no doubt that it is a solid walking cart of high quality. You can feel the robustness.
First Impressions
Incredibly colorful. Perhaps this walking cart does not fit so well in the living room, but it is a plus that the walking cart is made of wood. There are many beautiful colors and it is really solid. With the many colors and details, there is no doubt that it is a quality piece of toy that you have.
VALUE: Learning to Walk
The handle is adjustable, which is super good. The center of gravity of the walking cart is such that it is not necessary to put books or anything else in the walking cart to prevent it from tipping over - GENIUS! You can feel how solid the walking cart is and how incredibly good the quality of this walking cart is.
Play Value
The unique aspect of the Hape Wonder Walker and what makes it stand out from all other walking carts on the market is the play value. There are a lot of 'gimmicks' on the walking cart which gives it an enormous play value. The walking cart offers many hours of fun and exciting play - while the child learns to walk.
Is the walking cart worth the money?
It is worth every penny - you get a product of super good quality. This is probably the best purchase regarding walking carts. It is on the expensive side, but you do not just get a boring walking cart but also a piece of quality toy with many hours of play.
Plantoys push toys in various colors
Plantoys stands behind some beautiful push toys in different colors. The fine push toys are made from sustainable materials and have rubber-coated wheels. The quality is impressive and the price incredibly low. Plantoys push toys are incredibly popular due to their unique and beautiful design.
First impression
Sweet and very eye-catching design. The product resembles a small bus, where there is room for stuffed animals and dolls.
VALUE: Learning to walk
The push toy is solidly planted on the floor. If the child leans on the push toy to stand up, it will not tip over. It takes quite a lot for the Plantoys push toy to tip over. The wheels run at a suitable speed so that the push toy neither slips away from the child when the child pushes it forward nor hinders the child from walking.
Play value
The play value is not quite as high as the Hape Wonder Walker. However, the play value is higher than the classic BRIO push toy. With the sweet bus motif, the push toy encourages fun and creative play with the child. One can play bus driver and drive dolls, stuffed animals, and toys around the house, among other things.
Is the push toy worth the money?
The quality and sustainable production definitely make the product worth the money. The Plantoys push toy is approximately mid-range in price for push toys. There are both cheaper and more expensive models available.
