Since the walker wagons are short lived, especially for girls. Is there a doll stroller that good for a newish walker? DD is just starting to pull up and I don't think she'll be walking at a year like DS.
Thanks!

My DD used her Haba push toy as a stroller for a while after she was walking. It was what she used as a stroller from age 1-2. At 2 she got a Maclaren doll stroller and loved it.

Most of the stroller versions (like the Haba wooden strollers) I've seen usually have handles that jut out too far from the center of gravity for it to function as a very stable push toy. It makes it tippier, especially when pulling to stand at it, and less stable. The RF and Haba walker wagon have the handle that is really well centered over the center of gravity. if you can find a doll stroller like that, it might work out okay.

Maybe someone else will have a suggestion for you though.

This is similar in looks and price as the HABA pram but designed to resist tipping. They have them at church daycare center near us--children of very varying ages seemed to be playing with them.

We have this one. We love it and have had it since DD was 14 months. But it will tip on a child pulling up or "run away from" a new walker.

Yeah we have the regular Haba wagon and never had any issues when DS was first starting to walk or pull up on it.

I just saw this on Amazon the other day...sounds like what you're looking for. No experience with it but it seems to get good reviews!
