RE: Ride-on or push toy for 1 year old...
DS has/had the Chicco Play 'n Ride Train and I really like it. The steering actually moves the wheels (which, although it seems obvious isn't always true). There are no electronic songs, but there are activities. And, the best part according to DS is that the seat lifts up to reveal a storage compartment. DS enjoys putting various treasures in there. If you really want a push walker and your DS isn't very steady on his feet, I wouldn't recommend this. I just don't think it's stable enough for a beginning walker. DS had it when he began to walk and I wound up getting a separate item for that purpose. If you mainly want a ride-on and also like the push feature, then I think this is great. HTH
