It looks nice to me. The one we had was Seasame Street, from K-Mart. It had some of the same features, the removable toy bar, the food tray thing, and the 3 height settings, but yours has a higher back, and I like that.
People keep telling you about how walkers aren't recomended, and that is true, but we had one for our son. They say that walkers are unsafe and delay walking, but if you use it in a proper manner, they're perfectly okay.
Obviously you need to make sure there aren't any stairs where the baby is playing, and also watch out for things he could bump his head on.
Don't leave him in there for more than about 20 minutes at a time, unless he's really enjoying himself. That way, you won't have the delayed walking problem. My son walked at 9 months.
Don't get into the habit of feeding him in there (even though the toy bar comes off for this purpose) because then you'll get into the habit of leaving him in there for a really long time, and the walker gets very dirty.
Like I said, it looks like a nice walker to me, and as long as you use common sense, your baby will enjoy it for a long time.

Well, all walkers actually are pretty much the same.
To be honest, my son's pediatrician recommended me not to buy any because babies can lern walking by themselves. She said, the walker just causes chaos & noise at home; baby is gonna running around the house. And I think, it's true! In older generation, there's no walker & their babies can still learn walking perfectly. I would save my money for something else :)

Most drs recommend NOT putting your baby in a walker of that style at all. They find that children do NOT walk sooner and it can actually delay walking as their little legs get tired and stressed.
Also, there's the safety aspect of stairs but there's also a concern as the child can tip and pull down things on their head. Try for a walker they push instead.

It is a good walker. It is more sturdy than the other ones. It also has a lot of room on the bottom part of it. it also has a toy that will keep the baby occupied when they're not walking.

If you can find the ones that have a round plastic bottom instead of wheels, they work really well and the child cannot hurt themselves by running into a wall. They are stationary but rock back and forth and have a seat just like traditional walkers. Good luck.

It is fine, however for simple safety reasons pediatricians are recommending doing away with walkers and buying the exersaucers like below. That way they stay put, and safe. =)

This looks like a great walker! My daughter had one liked it and loved it, also starting walking sooner than expected. My son had the exersaucer and hated it because he couldnt move, also he took longer to walk.

The only thing that would be unsafe about a walker like this would be lack of parental supervision- otherwise these are great- my daughter loved hers.

walker's are a accident waiting to happen, especially around stairs, open fires, that's why some countries don't sell them.
