The rocking horse is very nice, no question but unfortunately not suitable for rocking. My little (17 months) can not really swing it, because of gravity too far back so that the rocking horse still very far tilts backwards and little rocking motion comes about. Unfortunately, I've already 9 months ago bought the horse as my daughter could not swing, so that the problem has become noticeable only in recent times. I can give it back no longer. Very bad! I have now bought for my daughter another rocking horse on the rocking works very well. So if a rocking horse looking on the swings can also be a child should buy another !!
