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
Editorial Review
When little wobblers are bored with walls and sofa edges, and there's no one to offer a hand, they can two-foot it safely across that open ocean of living-room floor with the help of the Step Start walker. This dual-purpose toy acts as stable support as they learn to walk, then lets them roll along when they want to ride. Once they are secure on their legs, the walker converts easily to a first ride-on toy. (Only adults can operate the wheel-lock mechanism.) A flexible antenna, spinning drum, clicking gear, and other sight-touch-sound features provide sit-down play fun. Assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver. --Ava Natov

The Playskool Step Start Walk 'n Ride is a great stabilizer for your baby's first big moments of standing, stepping, and learning to walk. And once your infant/toddler has learned to walk, this versatile walking toy converts itself into a ride-on toy, helping your child learn to ride. Designed for children ages nine months to three-years old, the Step Start Walk 'n Ride also includes several hands-on activities with neat textures, sounds, and bright colors for plenty of sensorial fun. Push It, Ride It, Turn It, Spin It
The Step Start Walk 'n Ride is designed to help your child with many activities, including standing, walking, and riding. The Walk 'n Ride also gives your child plenty of sit-down play, with sight-touch-sound features such as the gear shifter, lifting hood, spinning drum, and clicking dial. The walker/rider is also outfitted with bright, fun colors and friendly, smiling characters that are sure to please your infant or toddler while using. For parents, one of the best functions on this toy is its locking mechanism that changes the toy's mode from a walker to a ride-on toy. The lock cannot be undone by the child, and there is a distinct click that sounds when the lock is set in place. While your child is using the walker/rider, be sure to keep them away from sloped driveways and hills. Though the wheels are made out of very thick plastic, they are designed for the slower movements of a young child on a level, steady surface. A Great Walker and Rider for Beginners
This walker/rider is excellent for its versatility of options for your waddler's different stages of development. And while your child is learning important stability skills, he or she can also play with and look at the fun sensorial gadgets that are attached from top to bottom in bright, fluorescent colors. The fact that the Step Start Walk 'n Ride is two toys in one makes it an economical choice and prolongs the amount of time your child will still be excited to use it and benefit from its activities. What's in the Box
Body, four wheels, front handle, rear handle, handle retainer, domed lid, dial, roller, spinner (two pieces), antenna, gear shift, four plain #6 screws, and one #6 screw with attached washer.
Great first rider with plenty of sensorial gadgets.

 Don't play on hardwood floors but great on carpet! November 12, 2009

We learned quickly that this goes fast on hardwood floors. My niece is still not able to walk much without leaning on things so I thought this would be great. Instead she leaned on it and it scooted away from her. We put it on the carpet and she was good to go. She loves it, especially when we push her around on it.
 Disappointing November 5, 2009
Average Mom (Lakewood, OH)
We have had this toy for almost a year now and haven't gotten the use out of it I'd hope. First, the walker part doesn't roll that easily. So by the time my son was old enough to push it, he wasn't interested in pushing it. The car is very small. My son is an average size toddler, but is already to big to sit on the seat. I don't recommend getting this. There are much better walking toys out there.
 Not a good walker. My daughter trips over it constantly. November 3, 2009
K. Dinapoli (Los Angeles, CA)
The design of this walker is awful. For a toy built to assist a baby starting to walk should be designed so the baby doesn't trip over the very thing that is supposed to assist them! The bottom wheels come out so far that as the baby holds on to the handle, the legs constantly gets tangled with the wheels. I don't know why the wheels have to come out so far. As for the car version, it works fine. But used as a walker, it is terrible.
Terrible design: assembled it and my son can't even use it November 2, 2009

Don't buy this toy unless you want to waste your money!!
My husband-to-be assembled this toy and my son was so excited. The moment my son sat on it we knew we'd been scammed out of the money we paid for it. The main problem is the back end is too wide. The wide back end interferes with the backward movement of his legs and therefore there was no way he can propel the scooter forward. The narrow front seat with wide back end is a major design flaw and I find it hard to believe that this toy made it out of the design and testing stages at Hasbro Playskool.
Additional problems: The wheels are extremely slippery plastic; it rides too low to the ground, and once assembled it cannot be disassembled, placed back into the box and returned to the store for a refund!
 super duper! October 21, 2009
