Material
  • We recommend solid wood for the frame and a soft saddle made of fabric or leather.
  • The body of the rocking horse is usually made of cotton and polyester.
  • Some rocking horses are made entirely of wood, here you need to make sure that the wood is well made and does not splinter at any point to prevent injury.
  • In general, pollutant-free material should be used to protect the sensitive skin of children. A test seal ensures the use of skin-friendly materials.
