Questions and answers
- Which is better for a baby who is not walking yet?
- The Chicco Walky Talky. It seats babies who can sit upright unaided, from about 6 months, while the Nuby walker is for children pulling up and pushing, around 10 months and up.
- Which helps a toddler learn to walk?
- The Nuby. Its push-and-pull frame gives standing support and builds leg and core strength. The Chicco is a seated walker, so it moves the child rather than training balance.
- Is the Chicco worth $99.99?
- It is the only price given, $99.99 at GoodBuy Gear as of October 30, 2026, and it is an open-box unit. Weigh that against reports that it rolls poorly and the toy is low quality before paying full price.
- Which takes less space?
- The Nuby, at 14 x 12 x 18 in and 5.5 lb. The Chicco folds to 26 x 31.75 in, and buyers say the tray is too big for a normal-sized room.
- Which has more activities?
- The Chicco has lights, sounds and music in four languages plus a snack tray. The Nuby has a mirror, xylophone and shape sorter, with no batteries needed.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Nuby's wood frame should outlast the plastic Chicco, but its use window is short once the child walks confidently. The Chicco's three height positions cover roughly 6 months to 26 lb.
