As opposed to more traditional rocking horses where your child sits on the horse, with a baby rocking horse, your will child actually sits in the horse. That’s because these rocking horses have slings that your baby will be cradled in.

The slings are made of various materials, but all are very soft and comforting to a baby’s tender skin. And to make it more of a parent’s dream come true, the slings are removable and washable! Some models even have a storage area concealed in the tail section. This is a great place for keeping an extra pacifier, burp cloth, and small toys.

As your child gets older, there are rocking horses that will take into account your child’s ability to sit, but that they may still need a bit of support. These rocking horses offer support in the back and the sides and some come with a safety strap to keep your child extra secure. Some of these horses you will find are made of wood, in a more traditional rocking horse fashion, while others are covered with a soft, plush material. These models often feature removable covers that are machine washable.
