Chicco Walky Talky Gele Loopwagen

Disappointed in the design and function. It was bulky and my son, who breezes around in a different brand walker at my parents house, did not like using this walker at all. I’m sad i registered for this. We sold it at a consignment shop and got $20 for it. I have no purpose in keeping it. This is the second Chicco product I have and I’m disappointed in them both. I won’t purchase this brand again.

This is a follow up to a previous review. I complained about the restriction in the operation of the casters. My husband modified it so that the back ones would spin freely. Now my granddaughter is having a great time and so are we. She has to fight turns due to not having swivels on the back, but at least it rolls.

I purchased this walker for my youngest granddaughter to enjoy when visiting. I find that the design of the casters prevent the child from the needed mobility required to be encouraged and have success in learning to walk. The child is prevented from freely turning and easy movement forward and backward. It is frustrating for both the child and the caregiver or family member.

My daughter loves her walker. She cruises around, easy to maneuver and goes on carpet. Switching from the toy tray to the open tray is super easy. It is very light weight and folds flat really nice - I do wish it had a small lock to keep it folded for travel. While it does offer multiple languages for the toys to sign and talk in, there isn't much variety with what they say and sign. The fabric seat is easy to clean and the materials used for the entire walker are quality with good color (we got the purple/grey one). I also think the shape of this walker is perfect, being oval. It almost seems a little big, but she has an alternative walker (at Grandma's) that is more square and I think it's a little more difficult to maneuver than this one.

The talky part of the walker was not what I anticipated. ABC, means just that A-B-C. That's all it says, not the alphabet. Each button repeats the same phases. It does not make sounds of the animals. The walky part seems to have a great safety feature but the assemble was a little frustrating, you have to have some muscle behind it to attach those safety bars, not as easy as installing the front wheels.
