I admit I was a little intimidated at first when I opened the box to find it in many pieces. Everything was packaged well. Use common sense and it will be simple to assemble. The directions are written more like a diagram with a few short descriptions.
We love the fact that the actual horse is machine washable and easy to remove too. We also like that there are no springs to pinch our daughter. The rubber is very thick and we aren't worried about it breaking. It doesn't make sounds like some of the other horses. However, almost every toy for kids makes sounds now. I think kids need basic toys too. It can teach imagination, balance and coordination.
The only cons would be that the frame is made of plastic, which is disappointing but then again everything is plastic now a days anyway. As long as the child is of the proper weight limit I don't think it would be an issue. Also, I noticed that the belly or feet of the horse could hit the floor a little while the child bounces or rocks if he/she is at the top of the weight limit. It does seem like it could slide on hard floors or short carpeting. We put a couple non-skid pads on the bottom and sort of pushed it on the carpet and it seemed to work better. I do think this horse is for the 15mo-3yr. old age range though. Our daughter wouldn't have been able to rock or bounce on her own at 12 months old. unless someone was holding on to her and doing it for her.
Overall I highly recommend this toy. You will not be disappointed.Well, we have loved this horse until two weeks ago. It has been our 18 month old 26 pound baby boy's favorite toy, even after he rocked too hard and flipped the thing over backwards-the FIRST time. He got right back on,and I just hoped that it had been a strange fluke, but then he did it again. I hate to get rid of it, but this 2nd time after he flipped and landed on his head, it came down on top of him and the handle hit him in the nose. I would like to not be an alarmist and hope that he learns he can't rock that hard, but I'd also feel pretty awful if he keeps getting hurt. For now, we have a bed pillow on the floor behind it so that it doesn't rock so far back. We are so disappointed, this definitely won't last us til he's 3, or even 2 at this rate. Real Bummer.
Buy Radio Flyer Soft Rock and Bounce Pony Now
This piece of crap must be made in China. It is so cheaply made it falls apart frequently. I thought radio flyer was supposed to have a good name. Not anymore. This is the third crappy product we've experienced from them. Radio layer is not what it used to be. I'm so sick of having to put this pos back together. Just a total sucky pos product that looks good and has a good brand name but must be made in China.Read Best Reviews of Radio Flyer Soft Rock and Bounce Pony Here
This horse is very small. It could only be used by a one or two year old at the most. The one I received was defective, which was super disapointing after I put it completly together. It comes unassebled in ten thousand peices.....Want Radio Flyer Soft Rock and Bounce Pony Discount?
My 15 month old daughter loves it. Received the shipment earlier than promised. The only reason I am not giving a 5 star rating is because my daughter is not able to climb on it or get out of it on her own. The rocker base is too wide for her to get on unassisted.**Update**
I am changing the rating to 1 as this rocker flipped backward when my daughter was rocking today. Luckily she landed on the carpet. This is certainly not a safe rocker.
