The Joovy Spoon Walker is a U-shaped combination walker/highchair that provides a place for babies to eat, play, and learn to walk.
Manufactured by American company Joovy, as with all of their products, the walker is innovative, highly functional, and very durable.
Your child will love it because it is comfortable and fun. You will love it because it looks cool and it is easy to clean and compact to transport and store. Even more importantly, it is safe, sturdy, and stable, and its components are non-toxic.
When mealtime comes around, the Joovy Walker’s extra-large tray becomes a tabletop, holding your baby’s bowl and bottle. The tray wipes clean. You can wash the insert in your dishwasher if desired.
Large enough to hold your baby’s favorite toys, after mealtime, your little one can play in their chair. When they’re a little bit older, this multi-purpose walker will support your child and help them gain confidence and build leg strength as he or she takes their first steps.

The seat is plushly padded for comfort, and it offers excellent support.
Height-adjustable to three different positions, your little one should be able to use it for many months. The adjustments are made by sliding the red tab that is located beneath the tray.
Swiveling front wheels and fixed back wheels make for a walker that offers the perfect balance of mobility and safety.
Because it folds and is relatively light, it is compact to store and convenient to pop into the car to take when visiting friends or grandma and grandpa.
Pros
-
Safe
With its reinforced steel frame and wide base, you won’t have to worry about the Joovy Walker tipping over if your child is bouncing up and down.
And, as they transition from baby to toddler and begin to walk, you can be confident knowing its non-slip rubber stair pads provide excellent traction, and its base is exceptionally stable and virtually tip-proof.
The base is designed in a way that prevents a toddler’s fingers from becoming wedged in between the side of the tray and the wall, should they bump into the latter.
BPA, PVC, flame-retardant, and Phthalate-free, you will not have to fear your little one is inhaling harmful toxins, nor ingesting anything harmful if they chew on the Joovy Spoon Walker.

Height adjustable
Three height options enable your child to use the chair while seated and the walker when standing. It also means you can adjust the seat’s positioning to suit as he or she grows.
