Is your little one showing an eagerness to walk? It won't happen overnight, but alert parents can help encourage Baby with the Stride-to-Ride Walker from Fisher-Price. It's not the old-fashioned type of walker (round and boring), but incorporates rewards to gently prod Baby onward toward success.

A sturdy, easy-to-grip handle rises in an arch, similar to a jumbo steering wheel. In the center of the "wheel" resides a happy sunshine face, with a red basket tucked below, waiting for colorful plastic balls to be dropped inside. The best feature, though, is the versatility of this product. It encourages balance and gross motor skills; grasping and eye-hand coorination; and stimulates the senses through lively music, colorful lights, and movement of the four balls. Both hearing, sight, and touch are given a healthy workout.

Just as importantly, this product builds self-confidence as Baby masters new skills. You'll notice a curiosity as your child recognizes that he or she has the power to make things happen. Cause and effect is a wonderful discovery, and draws your little one back time and again for more fun.

The Stride-to-Ride Walker is designed to allow Baby to hold on and toddle along behind its sturdy frame. Of course there will be falls, but it rewards successful toddling with lights, sounds, and music, which encourages Baby to keep trying. Later, toddlers will be ready to sit and ride. Just move the legs together and lock the walker in place. In one easy click, it turns into a comfortable seat, where toddlers can sit and ride. The sturdy wheels line up for steady support.

This fun product offers two activities rolled into one - a real bargain in the world of baby toys!
