This sturdy but stylish durable wood cart is brimming with built-in activities, lots of storage space in the heavy nylon pocket, and an anti-tip braking function for beginning walkers. Colorful bead-bars, chunky wood shapes with sorter, and space for teddy bears and toys make this a hands-on favorite for years.
