Checklist For Rocking Horses

Age
  • Rockinghorses are suitablefrom 1 to 3 years. Children should be able to sit and walk independently for a rocking horse.
  • For children up to 5 years old, there are rocking horses that are larger than the common models.
Safety
  • Especially children who still have problems with balance should either be held on the rocking horse or secured with a harness.
  • A child sitting on a rocking horse should always be supervised.
Types
  • The classic rocking horse is – as the name suggests – the horse.
  • Other popular models include elephants, rabbits, dinosaur, dog and many more.
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.
