We originally borrowed this cart from a friend (without all of the toys), who was willing to lend it to us for a couple of months while my son was learning to walk with a wagon. We loved it so much we went ahead and bought one of our own when we were done with it. This cart will be a great toy for many years, it's got stuff that my son could use at 9 months and other more advanced toys (like a lacing board) for when he's much older. It's also got a great amount of storage for other toys, not just the ones it comes with.
The cart itself is very sturdy, and the newer versions even have a kick on the back to make it harder for the baby to pull it down on himself while he's learning to pull up using the red handle. It's much more sturdy than other walker wagons he has, plus he loved taking things out of the various compartments and moving them around.
The shape sorter works well, although the fact that the shapes have to be added from the sides or back make it much harder for my son to figure out what to do with each block, and he gets hung up just on the side of options he can see (he's only 12 months, so he's still in the early stages of shape sorting though). The wooden screws are great for practicing manual dexterity, Montessori-style, and the little drawer is great for object permanence play. So far he's too young to get much out of the other toys, but they are all high-quality and durable and something I would have planned to obtain for him eventually anyway. I bought this used off Amazon and it was a great deal, at 1/3 the price that I found it everywhere else on the internet.
