Adorable for little helpers!
My daughter has enjoyed “sweeping” since was 18 months old. For her second birthday her favorite aunt bought her Dusty the Talking Vacuum Cleaner and she hasn’t stopped cleaning yet! The brightly colored toy is just the right height for little toddlers, the big friendly eyes move around as the sweeper moves, the noises are realistic as you “vacuum” the floor. It takes up very little room so it’s easy to stash away. There are sparkly strings inside the cleaning barrel to simulate dust and dirt, and the phrases are hilarious: “Is that a rabbit? Na! It’s just a dust bunny….” The pretend brush and nozzle attach to the vacuum too, just like the real thing! Very cute and durable, perfect for a child who loves to help mommy and daddy.

Cute!
My daughter is three and LOVES this vacuum. At first she was frightened by the talking, but luckily the vacuum is equipped with an off switch for the sound. For the first week she pushed it without the sound. Now she readily turns it on. She was slightly disappointed that it didn’t actually clean the carpet, but the disappointment only lasted for a few minutes. As a mom I think it’s a great thing, though. I wouldn’t want her to vacuum something that was important like a missing earring. For durability I gave it 4 stars only because the hose is hard to hook into place. My husband and I really like the phrases the vacuum uses. We find ourselves repeating them in jest as we clean the house. In my opinion, 2-5 would be a better suggested age range.

CUTE TOY!!!!
MY 3 YEAR OLD GOT THIS FOR HIS BDAY AND LOVES IT. WHAT I LOVE IS THAT IT ISN’T AS LOUD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. HIS 7 MONTH OLD BROTHER CAN SLEEP FINE WHILE MY 3 YEAR OLD PLAYS WITH IT. HE WAS SCARED OF IT AT FIRST BUT ONCE WE PUT IT TOGETHER, HE GRABED IT AND LOVED IT. HE GOES THROUGH OUT THE HOUSE “VACUUMING”. I LOVE THAT HE HAS HIS OWN VACUUM INSTEAD OF WANTING TO TAKE MINE WHEN I AM CLEANING. I DEFINATELY WOULD RECOMMEND IT.

Who knew how much fun they’d have?
I must admit that when my mom gave this toy to my 12 month old, I didn’t think it would be a hit – boy was I wrong! Both the baby and my 3 1/2 year old think the ball fountain is neat.

With this toy you push the plunger, the music starts and the balls begin popping out of the top, rolling down the shoot and popping out the top again. Sometimes the balls just keep going through the circuit and sometimes they fly out of the toy and roll across the floor. My daughters enjoy it all!

From a parent point, the negatives are that the music is a little annoying and the five balls roll all over and need to be picked up again and again. The positive is that it keeps my little ones engrossed. The 3 1/2 year old can operate it all by herself and the 1 year old can play with it with only a little assistance from me (helping her corral loose balls and pushing the plunger).

We haven’t had any trouble with the sturdiness of the balls, but the yellow funnel does get knocked off occasionally. It goes back on easily enough, but disrupts the play temporarily.

Bottom line is that we really like this toy and are happy to have it in our toy collection

I first encountered this toy in a doctor’s office and was amazed by its popularity. My 18 month-old son loved it as did ALL of the other kids in the office — from about 9 mos to 5 years. The kids could not get enough of this toy. I got it for our own home, and its popularity remains high. I have given it as a birthday gift, and it has been a winner in those homes as well. The kids really do play with it endlessly. On that note, though, please know that this toy makes some NOISE, so if you are a person who can’t stand noisy toys, this is NOT the toy for your house.

Product Description

It’s 2 toys in 1! As a sturdy, stable walker, the Step Start Walk ‘n Ride toy helps babies learn to stand, take their first steps, and walk. As the grow older, it easily converts to a first ride-on toy! It has a locking mechanism that only parents can activate, so children can’t change modes by themselves. Kids can explore the hands-on activities in both the walker and ride-on modes to see fascinating sights, hear silly sounds and touch interesting textures. Adult assembly required

Customer Reviews

Pretty good toy.
Let me start by saying that my 10 month old LOVES this toy. She likes both modes (walk behind and ride on) and she really likes the toys on the body. I would agree with the other reviewer who said that this is a carpet area only walker. The design of this toy is bizarre at best. In order to get the toy from ride on to walker, you have to “snap” the handle into place. This is not easy. It’s not impossible, but it does take some practice and the first few times she used it I didn’t get the handle secured properly. Also, this toy will tip over. My baby likes to walk to the side of both of her walkers but the other walker has a more stable base. Although I wouldn’t recommend this toy as a first walker or a walker for a non-carpeted area (for that I recommend Elmo’s Grow and Go Walker Mower by Fisher Price), I do like the fact that this toy has two functions.

Great purchase!
We bought this for our daughter for Christmas when she was 9 months old. When she first got it, she preferred to play mechanic(flipping it over and playing with the wheels and underside)and she also liked to play with the toys on the top. So far, we have not had any trouble with the attachments. Now that she is learning how to walk, she loves to use the toy in the walker mode and strolls around our living room. We have found that when she does hit an obstacle, the toy has held up well and is very sturdy. In the car mode, she loves to have us push her around. She can push herself backwards, but she has not gotten the going forward part down yet. When she wants to get off of the car, we have found that it is low enough to the ground that she has not hurt herself. Overall, we have felt that this was a great purchase and plan to pass it down to the next one!

STEP N START
I PURCHASED THE STEP START WALK N RIDE TOY FOR MY SON’S FIRST BIRTHDAY. ALTHOUGH HE IS STILL NOT WALKING TOTALLY INDEPENDENTLY YET, HE SEEMS TO HAVE LOADS OF FUN “WALKING” BEHIND THE WALK N RIDE. HE ALSO SEEMS TO ENJOY THE MANY ACTIVITIES THAT THE TOY OFFERS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR ANY CHILD FROM PRE-WALKER (ABOUT 9 MONTHS) ON UP. WE HAVE TONS OF FUN WITH IT. ONE ADDED BENEFIT IS THAT MY 6 YEAR OLD IS ALSO ABLE TO ASSIST THE BABY WITH HIS EFFORTS.

I REALLY LIKE IT BECAUSE IT WAS VERY EASY TO ASSEMBLE.
