VERY O/T RANDOM POLL RE: BABY PUSHERS!!!

Topics

scatterby

I want to buy my baby a wooden baby walker and having seen the price of them, have decided to do a poll to see whether people think I should get the one with blocks or the one with all different shapes. This is because I have realised that this is definitely not a decision to be taken lightly

I will abide by the results

Those wooden bricks that they chuck at you?

I'd go for different shapes, in sponge.

lol Saz it's just a type of wooden trolley that babies/toddlers push and they have wooden blocks in them

Why does nobody like them - is there something about them I should know?

Mine had them with wooden blocks - perhaps people were thinking of the ones that you actually put babies in when they cannot walk -and they sort of push themselves everywhere?
The wooden trollies are fun - mine also had a dog on wheels..

My three sons all had them. My only piece of advice is that the wooden blocks can be dangerous weapons when they reach the chucking stage.

Sorry - this is what I meant

Oh they're ok...I thought you meant a baby walker...only thing with them is they do lean on themand go flat their faces when thye first learn to walk...

I knew the type you meant, in my experience they tend to make kids go arse over heels.

Get them a wheelbarrow!
Or one of the orange Toys r Us car things..they tend to push them as much as they go in them

I wouldn't have one at all Shabby xxxx

'Note to self read all thread so I know what we're talking about'

Still wouldn't have one Scatty

I think it's just the design of them, the handle is so high away from the base...where the weight is, the centre of gravity is all off...if that makes sense.

My little grandson has one that his uncle (my other son) bought him for his first birthday. It has quite large different shaped blocks and he loves them. He doesn't push it around so much but loves the bricks.
I think he got it from Toys R Us

My babies weren't very twisty...dunno why. Must be torture having one of those shriekers.

I know - I've been lucky too - never had need for a dummy

My youngest screamed constantly for the first year, but never used a dummy. Got through a few earplugs though

You can get foam blocks scatterby, my grandson has some of those too that his other grandparents bought him. I don't think he builds much with them but from the teeth marks he does like chewing them

Don't worry, they don't break - just have lots of pretty teeth marks in the edge
