I might have jumped the gun, buying this little pushing car for my grandson who isn't yet one and isn't yet walking on his own. He holds onto things and can walk a bit that way, but this toy is too tall for him to push. He can reach the handle to push it, but more often than not, pulls on it and sits down suddenly, so he hasn't really played with it much--yet. However, I wouldn't down-rate this push car because the child isn't yet ready for it. I bought one of those little metal license plates with his name on it and screwed it onto the front between the painted "headlights". It has turned out to be the perfect place to store the toys that he plays with when he visits me and everyone who sees it loves it. It's beautifully designed (which was why I couldn't wait to buy it), extremely well-made, and looks like it will last many years. I know that when he's bigger and steadier on his feet, he's going to love it.
