My baby is 10 months old and loves to pull himself up on anything within his reach but is not quite into "cruising," yet. We bought him this toy to get him interested in walking and he LOVES it!! He immediately took to it and loves to push it all over. When he's not pushing it he loves to sit down and play with the three wooden "spinners." Another plus that is since it is wood it doesn't scuff the baseboards (yay)! One great thing that we have done is brought it outside to the driveway so he has a long stretch to push it since he's not quite sure how to back-up or turn it around yet. This is one of the best made toys we have received thus far!

What a great trainset! Lots of pieces and it comes with four different layouts for you to try. My girls play with it for hours. Also, very good price and fast shipping from Babyage.

We have another item similar to this but it has plastic wheels and it goes way too fast on our hardwood floors for my 2nd son who's learning to walk. The Alligator push toy is super cute, well built -- reminiscent of an old classic toy -- no cheap parts -- and it has a rubber strip on the wheels which really helps control the speed on hardwood floors. The clacking alligators are funny, but they are a little loud, but my son loves it! He smiles proudly like he's a big boy now!

This is a sturdy stuffed animal and it looks like a real baby from the zoo. She is just beautiful and looks great anywhere in the house. You have to get one!
