Is there a brake on this one? Torn between this and the wagon but I can't tell if this one is good for a 9-month old just starting to pull up.

No, there is no brake. It's pretty heavy and sturdy but if a child is trying to pull up on it and putting all of his/her weight on it, the car will probably roll a bit, so it would not be safe.

There is no brake, however there is a black rubber gripper around the wheels for traction. If you are torn, all I can say is that I've been consistently impressed by this toy- it's durable and I expect it will last years. I have three rough kids and I'm amazed that it still looks like its new. The quality is excellent and it'll transition well as your baby grows up into a kid.

My 8 month old has pulled it down on top of her holding the handle. She is warry of it now. However, It is well made. She loves to ride inside. We push around baby and a jug of water and share with older kids on the block while they ride bikes.

Wagon is more stout (heavier) than a Radio Flyer type. To me it pulls very easily on very cheap wheels. It is a very narrow wheel set so it will tip easily going across slope or if you have a high load in it. Some sharp parts if this is a concern around kids.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

I've been using it since my grandson was 2 months old. I still use it, but may have to give it up when his feet start dragging the ground. It is awesome!

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period.

No brakes. To load the dog at home, we put the front wheel against a door or something else that won't move. To load or unload while out walking, we put a foot in front of one of the back wheels and lift the dog out. It definitely helps to have two people walking together, but can be done by one. We use it for an elderly sheltie, while walking a younger one on a leash. A friend has a dog who is able to jump in and out of hers, so she is able to just hold the handle steady while the dog jumps. Either way, it's pretty easy and definitely worth the small hassle to be able to take the senior dog out for fresh air and a change of scene. She loves it and can't wait to go. Hope you have as much fun with yours as we are having! Karen

Yes, my now 8 month old has been using this walker since he was 5.5/6 months old. It moves easily, he sometimes runs over my feet if I'm not moving out of his way fast enough. The rear wheels are fixed, so it's not like some of the old school walkers, but that does not seem to hinder his movement. He enjoys being in the walker.

This one would be great for him, my son was 3 when I bought it and strong/athletic. However, my neighbor has one where the front wheel actually turns & it's way easier for the kids to maneuver. I kinda wish I had that one, but my son still loves his, too

Yes, it does have brakes. When in a standing position you can put on the brakes. This is the second one we've had. The old one still is good, just the plastic on the arms wore off. My husband is going into a care home so I wanted him to have a newer one for there.

The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often! (About 3-5 times a week during sping/summer)The only "complaint" I have is that, while it is a BG wagon, it clearly shows 2 children sitting comfortably in it, but I guarantee they will be stepping on each others feet and there knees will be touching if they are 2+. I only have one child so it has only been an issue twice when I was walking my friends child and my son. This may not even be an issue for you, but I figured I'd give that info. Besides that, I absolutely love it. The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often!

There are no hand brakes. My son isn't going on his own yet, so I don't know for sure how it brakes!

This wagon is VERY easy to pull. You can give it a push but the handle does not lock.

There isn't a brake, but soon as you let up on the orange power pad, the cart stops. And it doesn't go very fast in the forward gear anyway. I really like my cart!

Yes it comes with the wagon. It's good for anyone under 5....it is smaller than some of the others I've seen but it's worth it :)

No, it doesn't have a brake but you can stop it. Easiest/surefire way to stop (and sometimes easier for kids) is to just put both feet out on the ground "Flintstone" style. Or, you can turn the steering wheel perpendicular to the direction of travel for a skid (hockey style) stop. Or you take your foot off the accelerator and spin to a stop.
