The WoodenToyShop Guide to Wooden Rocking Horses for Babies and Toddlers

Pintoy Shetland Rocking Horse

It is an incontrovertible truth that babies love rocking. Toddlers love running, walking, dancing, skipping, jumping and all other types of movement! They love rocking too, and we hope the following WoodenToyShop Guide to Wooden Rocking Horses will help you choose the perfect rocking horse for your baby or toddler.

The Pintoy Shetland Rocking Horse (pictured above) is an excellent choice for very young children – the recommended age is 12+ months* - due to its upright seat back and safety frame which means that babies will be able to sit on the horse unsupported, but safely. This sturdy natural wooden rocking horse also has rubber stoppers at the end of each rocker to stop the horse galloping out of sight! Grownups will appreciate that the safety frame can be removed when children are old enough to support themselves and have improved their balancing skills.
