Tek Nek "Lucky" Plush Spring Horse

Tek Nek 'Lucky' Plush Spring HorseWE purchased this for our 3 1/2 year old daughter. She was torn between the Radio Flyer Spring Horse and the Furreal Butterscotch pony. This horse is a great combination of the best parts of each. It is soft and brushable, but she can still climb on and bounce. It sings and moves its mouth, so she can "feed" it all sorts of things. I was originally worried about durability and was quite happy to see that it easily supports my nine-year old as well. The two have even climbed on together without any worry.

Although I had been a strong Radio-Flyer customer, with their increase in production in China, I think that Tek Nek has produced a better product and am happy to have purchased it.

We bought this horse last Christmas for our youngest grandson who was then 3. We put it together and didn't think it would last very long....were we WRONG?? The horse is a very much loved toy and as he has a brother 2 years older and a sister 3 years older it is in CONSTANT use daily!!! Both the boys are autistic and the abuse this horse has taken is nothing short of a miracle!!! He still talks etc. and he is jumped on and used as a spring board to fly over his head onto the couch or any other soft landing place they can find. I have even seen him standing on his head!! I wish every toy we bought held up HALF as well. It was worth many times what we paid for it.

I purchased this horse for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and she loves it. My older daughter is almost 5, and she loves it as well. After reading other reviews, I'm guessing that the model has changed slightly, since the batteries are now easily located in a hidden pocket right along the horse's mane. We haven't had problems with the buttons in the ears making sounds, although I find that my girls don't care much about the sounds anyway. We've had this horse for about a month.

The one thing I wanted to mention was a problem with the assembly instructions. When putting the horse together, be sure to place the red tube spring covers onto the bars before attaching the horse! The instructions don't tell us to put the covers on until AFTER the horse is attached, and then it is too late and everything has to be disassembled, which is a lot of effort. Hopefully this error in the instructions will be corrected soon.

The horse is surprisingly light, and can easily be moved to different rooms.

My kids also climb all over the horse, and stand on it's back (while holding on to the bars.) If your child is very young and you worry about them climbing without supervision, then you may want to wait a bit.

Otherwise, a great horse! My kids play with this horse dailymuch more than any other toy they've ever had. We also received it in CA from Amazon with free Super Saver Shipping in just three days!

My little girl loves it, but they offer a version that runs about $ cheaper that doesn't come with the saddle. Get that one! The saddle never stays on anyway! It is just fabric held on with one little piece of velcro and it always slides around. I do love the toy. The songs and phrases make it fun for my daughter and her friends. They love to watch the mouth move (the songs WILL get stuck in your head, though:)

This toy requires 3 double AA batteries to work. So, if your sound stops working check to see if the batteries need replacing. The battery pack is located where the on off switch is on the underneath side of the horse. This is a very good play horse for kids age 18 months to 4 years. I feel it develops leg muscles and teaches coordination of movement. It also teaches horse sounds, associating the sound with the animal. My grandson loves it.
