This little wooden push walking wagon for kiddos just learning to stand and walk is a really excellent value. It's worth waiting around for the occasional price drop, since it seems to go as low as about $15 which is pretty amazing. Our 6 month old loves the toy, including all of the the nicely colored little-hand-sized blocks. I've seen others complain that the blocks are too small, but they're just right for our little guy to actually be able to pick them up. The blocks lay out loose in the little wagon's storage area, which I've also seen folks complain about... but it's a good thing as far as I can tell... how else would little hands be able to pick up the blocks? The wood is high quality solid wood and laminates, assembly was an easy 10 minutes (you'll need a Phillips screwdriver and a small pair of pliers or small wrench in addition to the small hex key it comes with). The finished toy has a nice "Montessori" look to it - simple wooden fun with several different ways to interact. It's easy to adjust the "brake pressure" on the wheels by just tightening or loosening the nuts and bolts that hold them on. This is a great feature and the main reason we bought this. It replaces a crazy battery-powered disco ball plastic "stand-up pushing thing" walker that didn't do the ONE thing we needed well, which was have that adjustable brake-pressure on the wheels so that we can make it pushable by our little one without being so loose that he would just fall over.
