We had actually paid the Wutsch our daughter's first birthday. She let him first stand in the corner and just before her second birthday she found him interesting. Our son, however, discovered the Wutsch surprisingly with 10 months (!) For themselves and could actually already drive it, although he could not walk. In no time he got to the curve and steer with just over a year he maneuvered safely in a circle around the dining table. The children are just so different and so it is always difficult to say whether the toy is just for your child. In any event, the specified age is too high, because the children are already too large for the Wutsch.
