Our baby has only just turned 1, and she already has the hang of this. Loves putting the balls in and firing out! Her dog collects the balls and she puts back in! Great entertainme
My little one isnt quite tall enough for this however he sits on the floor and catches the balls shooting out. Still just as fun until he can walk with it.
Bought for my 11 month old. Just the right size. Although he needs help to pick the balls up with it, he does enjoy pushing it around and making the balls pop out. Product as described and delivery was on time

My grand daughter loved it, bit hard to pick up the balls in certain positions,you have to be quite exact so Id say hard for a toddler to get right every time.
My son loves this. It’s quite difficult to scoop up the balls as directed but my son quickly discovered he could pop them back in where they came out, he also doesn’t quite have the hand strength to pop them out but as long as someone is able to do it for him every now and then it keeps him occupied for ages chasing them about the house.
Have a nearly 2 yr old boy and a nearly 5 yr old girl. Both enjoy using this, the younger doesn’t fully yet appreciate (after 1 day) launching the balls or collecting them up but does enjoy when his sister does..
It is quite sturdy unlike the foam maker we bought.
The handle is not extendable which means this will be outgrown in a year or so but seems good fun until then, especially as we are in lockdown.
It makes a sound whilst rolling it around, not to noisy.
Ther are 4 balls we found in the box, 1 in the toy, another specially packed (some character we don’t know of) and 3 further balls under the hidden cardboard compartment right at the bottom of the box.
This is a lot of fun only downside I found was when it goes to collect the balls thrown it takes a bit of effort to spin the wheel had to help me son do it a few times so watch out for tha
A few months on and he is walking confidently on his own and can now use this. Unfortunately there are two main issues with it, firstly the handle is very low, he has bend down slightly to hold it correctly to push, this doesn’t seem like a big problem, but when he is still rather new to walking it puts him just enough off balance to make it more difficult than walking without it. The other issue is it is really quite difficult to pick up the balls by rolling over them. As you can see in the video I have attached it is possible, and even on a rug, but our son is not capable of doing it, you need to get the technique just right where you push down at the same time as going forward, which he is not going to be able to do for a while. Which means he prefers placing the balls into the opening for them to pop out of.
Other than those few issues, the toy is built well, especially for the price and balls are strong but light, meaning I am not concerned that they will break or break anything else. Of course finding the ‘right’ balls for this is often a difficult task and equally we often find that other non-compatible balls get stuck in the mechanism.
The ball launching works well and the balls go surprisingly far, our little boy will only press one of the triggers at a time which still does launch the ball but with less force, which he does enjoy when everything comes together. He does also find it hilarious when daddy launches balls as mummy.
As always, this was delivered quicker than we could have imagined and our two boys love this walker!
Our eldest who is two calls it his Hoover and insists on following his mum when she’s vacuuming! Our one year old has just started walking and loves walking with it too. He hasn’t worked out how to fire the balls yet, but is on the cusp of it!
Other reviews have suggested that the balls are too difficult to pick up – we have a slate floor and a carpeted floor and have no issue collecting the balls… I’m not sure if it’s been redesigned or if others are doing something wrong.
One slightly weird thing is that there’s one too many balls supplied with it than can fit inside of it. This frustrates our two year old, and confuses us. Maybe it’s a spare in case one is lost.
Our son is 33 months old and loves playing with it. The description states that this walker is for children up to the age of 3 but it isn’t really tall enough for our son; he is average height for his age and has to bend over quite far to push it along. However, that doesn’t stop him. He loves firing the balls and running around with it as it makes a clicking sound as the wheels turn.
It is worth noting that the balls don’t fly out with great force, which was the impression I got from the picture. The balls are hollow and made of hard plastic and are pushed out with little force and sort of roll away. We all struggle to pick the balls up in the way they are supposed to be but that is another part of the fun for our son.
All in all, we are pleased with our purchase, but were wrong to think it would suit our daughter at a year old just because she is a strong walker.
***UPDATE***
14 August 2016
Our daughter is now 2 years old and it’s perfect for her. She can do everything with it as described (and more – blocks, cars and allsorts go into it and have to be retrieved by us most of the time!!) and it’s the perfect height for her.
