Activity Walker
Product details
Web ID: 25076793Unsafe design
I cannot believe this product hasn’t been taken off the market. My daughter almost broke her fingers in the mirror spinning piece. It’s a shame because everything else about the walker is great, but this is a huge mistake on Gathre’s part and whoever approved this toy to be safe for children.

I love this walker!!!!
Definitely a great buy! My baby is still a little small to actually get the full use out of this product but so far it’s a 10/10! I love the look and colors of it too. It’s not too big so it fits perfectly in the nursery as well!

Dangerous with not a lot of good qualities
I had this on my registry because it’s pretty. Was surprised a family friend actually bought it at that price. When baby was first old enough to notice it, it was so dangerous for him to reach out and grab it because he would pull it down on his face. Most walkers have a wide enough triangular shape that they can’t just be pulled down like that. So I would only let him use it while I was sitting with my legs wrapped around him and my feet holding the walker down. Then I realized I could just put a kettle bell in the back so I did that. But the swivel thing with the little balls in it was also such an easy way for him to put fingers in and then accidentally take the other hand and smash them and not know how to get out of it. I got so mad at myself every time I looked away for one second And he would hurt himself. As for the wheels, the amount you tighten them is the amount they roll or don’t roll so we were never able to use it to roll because it just didn’t work. The only function on that is kind of cool now that he’s 15 months is putting the shapes in their slots but the slots are so low that he can’t see them be beneath the thing above them. The whole thing is just not planned out for a child. It’s grabbing your attention because it’s pretty and not bright plastic and that’s all it has going for it. I am annoyed it hurt my kid as often as it did and didn’t do much else.

Love it!
We love all things Gathre but this is one of our favorites. It has been the perfect stepping stone for our soon to be little walker.

Cute in photos but that's about it
I had high hopes for this activity walker but could not be more disappointed by the poor quality of the product. First of all, as I assembled the product, the hardware kit was missing key elements. Gathre sent me another kit, but the piece that becomes the axle for the wheels would not actually fit through the hole that had been drilled, so I had to drill larger holes, and the particle board wheels themselves started to disintegrate. The bottom right bead maze element is so stiff that I can barely move it, let alone my 7-month-old daughter. The unit itself is also tough and stiff to move. All in all, my major takeaway is that the color palette is cute, but the functionality is very underwhelming.

The Cutest Walker!
We love this walker toy! We had no issues putting it together, fortunately. It is aesthetically pleasing and our son loved playing with it.
Customer review from GATHRE
Defective and a hazard
We put this together according to the instructions and almost immediately one of the nuts that holds the wheel in place fell off. No matter how tight we’d screw it in (and in that case, the wheels would not move) — it would soon get loose and this small nut, which is a serious choking hazard, would fall off. It stressed me out immensely as my daughter is putting everything in her mouth. This is a defective and dangerous design, and wildly over priced. Do not buy and I wish the company would recall this to keep kids safe. I do like other Gathre products and was so disappointed with this one.

Seems sturdy - misleading/wrong directions
Like others mentioned, it’s nice and I love it aesthetically but not sure it’s worth the price yet. As another user mentioned, our instructions didn’t match the pieces/parts provided. We ended up with 4 extra screws. Not sure if they provided the wrong parts or if the instructions needed to be updated.
