Melissa and Doug Deluxe Chomp and Clack Alligator Push Toy

It is sturdy and really attractive.

The item I received seems to be faulty as there is barely any sound when my baby pushes it. Disappointing

Love the product.

The media could not be loaded. Our 11 month old daughter absolutely LOVES this little push toy! We have only had it for about two weeks, but she has gained so much confidence in her ability to walk in such a short time, I wish we had thought to buy it for her sooner. She is now trying to take steps between furniture rather than resorting to crawling right away!We are members of the Denver Zoo so we take our daughter there 2-3 times a week, and she loves walking around with this little walker and looking at the animals. (See attached video). This walker is very stable, so she is able to pull herself up to standing with it. She uses the handlebar to catch herself when she stumbles and falls and it does not tip over unless she is very off balance, however, we are always right there to catch her in such cases; you can see it coming so there is time to react. The wheels don't run away from her as she's walking unless she is on a steeper incline, and she must control the speed of the walker herself (there is not a break or slowing mechanism to keep her from gaining too much speed, she must control this herself). She must use her core strength to do this and it has improved her balance exponentially. This walker has a very low clearance, which makes it stable, but you will still need to clear small rocks out of the way or pick up the toy when your child gets hung up on a rock. The wheels and all other parts of the toy easily wipe clean, and the little black strip on the wheels is raised rubber which gives the wheels grip and is not hard on floors, so we also use this in our home. I have not noticed that it is loud, as other reviewers have, as there is a green felt strip in each alligator mouth which reduces the noise. To me, it sounds like a wagon being pulled outside. The zoo staff also inspected it before we were allowed to bring it in because if it were too noisy it could scare the animals and would thus not be allowed in. We have gotten many compliments from other parents about what a great little walker this is, and every time we go to the zoo we get asked multiple times where we got it.The only negative factor, which may have been caused by user error, is that I have noticed the paint on the handle bar rubs off onto hands (both mine and baby's). This didn't start happening until we used it at the zoo for the first time, so it may have been caused by sunscreen, which I apply liberally to my daughter including her hands. I also used baby wipes to clean the dirt off of the handle bar, as my daughter sits down to inspect leaves and other small things she finds while she is pushing this toy, so it may have been caused by that as well. This issue is not worth taking a star off though, I will take a little child-safe paint rubbing off over a smashed chin on the pavement any day! The paint washes off of our hands easily. That said, I still don't like that the handlebar paint rubs off, so I plan to resolve this issue by sanding the paint off of the handle. I will update this review of whether or not that is successful.

Terrible quality. The left big wheel kept coming off after a few pushes.
