Um-- no. Trust me, this will not be used for more than 5 minutes per day, max, for just a couple months. Even if you got one of the cuddly soft but cheap ones like we did. Who wants to rock on a cold wooden horse?

Thanks.


OP, do you actually purchase all of your child's toys to match your home decor?

This one converts to push/ride on...does have some red, but seems neutral.

We have one that my inlaws bought up in Amish country. Natural wood with legs that clack back and forth when it's ridden.

Love this one!

OP -- is this an option? Or are you really looking just for decoration, not play?


I like it. Not crazy about the plush rocking horses bc I just know that they will be dirt and stain magnets. I will show that one plus the one below to my DH and see what he thinks.

It's $40 this year. I guess the economy hits even Ikea.

Either of the two you posted in the second post would be just fine.
