Questions and answers
- Which is better for a baby just starting to walk?
- The Wooden Baby Walker. It is a push-and-pull walker, so your baby stands and holds on while building balance. The Trend is a seated walker for babies who are not yet pulling up.
- Which is safer?
- Neither lists safety certifications. The Trend has an extra wide wheeled base, but seated wheeled walkers are banned in Canada and discouraged by some pediatric groups. The wooden walker has no wheels your baby rides in.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Wooden Baby Walker. It is built for 10+ months through toddler play, while the Trend is outgrown at 30 lb or 32 inches tall.
- Is the Trend worth the extra?
- We have no price for the Nuby walker, so we cannot compare cost. The Trend adds a seat, a tray, height adjustment and a flat fold; the Nuby adds wood construction and standing practice.
- Can the wooden walker be used on carpet?
- Yes. Its 4-inch wheels roll on low-pile carpet and hard floors. Deep pile will slow it down.
- Does either need batteries?
- Only the Trend Activity Walker, which takes 2 AA batteries for its 6 melodies. The Wooden Baby Walker needs none.
