 Wonderful Product For Children With Special Needs!!Mar 21, 2009
By Happy Mom
I recently purchased this product for my 2 1/2 year old special needs son, whom refuses to walk. He is happy crawling everywhere but does occasionally like to walk (when it is his idea) with an adult holding his hands. I thought maybe this would be a waste of money, but so far it doesn't seem to be the case. My son's face lights up when I put him in this. He is so happy in this that he walks all over the house for 25 minutes before tiring of it!! He could never do that with me holding his hands for that long!! He has no balance at all, so I feel that this is definitely necessary for teaching him balance. I noticed that having the straps adjusted very low and close to his back, make him more stable and he has an easier time walking. Of course, I am hunched over, but who cares!! He is loving it and I am hoping and praying that some day he will be able to walk unassisted!!! I highly recommend this product for parents with special needs kids. This is a must have!

 It Broke ImmediatelyJan 18, 2007
By Kelly J. Yeoman
We were very excited to order the Walking Wings for our 8 month old. As soon as it arrived, we wrapped the walking wings around him, velcroed and snapped it shut, and then went about our first "walk." After only 3 steps, my son stumbled forward a bit. His stumble caused one of the fabric straps on the Walking Wings to rip totally off - a clean break at the seam. Our son immediately fell to the ground. Luckily, the fall was not hard, as the other strap remained in place. However, other babies may not be so lucky. We had this product a total of 3 minutes before it broke and put our son in harms way. I would not waste the money.

Should have bought a Juppy!Mar 12, 2010
By A. Wilson
First of all, when I purchased Walking Wings for my 11 month-old son, I did not realize there was any other alternative on the market for a parent-assisted baby walker. After I placed my son in the Walking Wings, he had the inclination to lean/fall forward. My attempts to encourage him to walk forward resulted in him crying in pain on the floor, most likely due to the Walking Wings hiking up on his armpit area and hurting his arms. Only after discarding my Walking Wings and teaching my son how to walk "the old fashioned way" did I find there was an alternative - The Juppy Baby Walker. Similar to Walking Wings, but with one important difference - full body support for your child! The Juppy Baby Walker is also cheaper than Walking Wings. I regret purchasing Walking Wings for my son.

design could be better; useful if child is having trouble learning to walkJan 19, 2009
By Mark Twain
"Sam"
Original review when my daughter was 6 months old:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought that this might help my 6 month old daughter learn to walk, but I was very disappointed in this product when it finally arrived. Already a few of the reviews mention the negatives, which are
1. The baby tends to learn forward because the straps are not attached at a natural location.
2. The straps are too close together for a small baby (this is supposed to be a one size fits all, but the product is obviously meant for bigger kids).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow up a year later:
I came back to read this review a year later, and couldn't help noticing the comments, and felt the need to adjust my review. Back then, our 6 month old daughter really wanted to stand, so we thought that this tool might be useful. In the end, it turned out not to be so useful. Our daughter took a few months to learn to walk by herself, and we moved on. I would recommend getting this if your child is having difficulty learning to walk, but not otherwise. As some of the comments note, "Let Mother Nature work Naturally". I completely agree.

Didn't work for usApr 22, 2010
By CA mama of 2
Bad design & waste of money. Since there isn't any support in the crotch area, the walking wings tend to slip up under the arms, causing pain. Even if you tighten the straps, it doesn't stop it from slipping. Our daughter was uncomfortable and cried. I wish I had seen the review recommending the Juppy first. That looks great & most of all, supportive & more secure. I'm returning the walking wings and will order the Juppy.
