Good rocking horse for toddler?

6 replies

I want to buy DS (who was 2 in December) a rocking horse for when our next baby arrives in May (hopefully to help keep him occupied!). Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it worth getting one with foot rests? Don't want a fancy antique style one but would prefer something quite tasteful and not too colourful or plastic! Do like a cord one they have on Letterbox site (sorry can't work out how to link yet) but it does seem quite pricey at £70... Any ideas please?

Early Learning do these and Mamas and Papas do these
Rocking horses are expensive to buy, but generally last for a long time.
Footrests are good for little people to give them stability.
This is the one I covet for dd, but I'd need to win the lottery first
Hope these links have helped a bit

Ebay? always lots on there

Oh thanks, the last link is esp lovely as is their whole site! Makes me think it might be worth spending a bit more as these ones look really special....

Bit put off ebay as I bought one from there listed as brand new, but it wasn't and the postage was so dear that it wasn't worth sending back (also too small) and the seller was rubbish, so now I have to sell it on...

Oh, my granny bought ds (just 3) a lovely one that would be perfect ... it's a bit too small for him - will find out where she got it...

Funnypeculiar - did you get hold of the details of the toddler rocking horse? Thanks...
