Toddler Toys

The Little Tikes Giddyup N’ Go Pony is a plush, modern take on an old classic.  Wooden rocking horses were a common site in nurseries and playrooms in the previous century as they provided a fun plaything for children as well as an attractive addition to the décor.  Today, the appeal of a good rocking horse has not diminished.  With all the electronic and video game options, the best toddler toys are still the ones that offer children the chance to use their imagination and body to create a wonderful adventure each and every time they play.  This piece contains all the lovely qualities of a traditional rocking horse with more than a few new features for today’s children.

The Little Tikes Giddyup N’ Go Pony looks like a great big plush stuffed toy – and it is.  Children will love to pet this gentle pony and feel the texture of the soft “fur.”  It has a beautiful flowing mane and tail.  But under its soft exterior, a rugged body is designed to support children age 3 to 8 and up to 160 pounds.  This is outstanding for a ride on toy, making it suitable for a much larger range of children.  No horseback ride is complete without a saddle.  This comfortable, padded one stays on permanently, and the stirrup-style footrests have rubber grips to prevent slipping and are attached to the body with a durable metal bar. With handles at the base of the pony’s head and wheels hidden under the four hooves, this friendly farm animal is ready to go!

Different from other rocking horses, this one actually moves forward.  As the child bounces up and down, the pony’s legs move, and if done continuously, he moves forward.  As he moves, the horse’s tail swishes gently from side to side, and by pressing the left ear, your child can activate a galloping sound.  Press the right for whinnying and snorting sounds.  Your child will be able to steer using the handlebars, and the horse is even equipped with a safety brake lever.  The tight turning radius makes this a great indoor or outdoor toy.  Safe, durable, and versatile – this is a great way to give your child the thrill of riding horseback without the danger!

Besides versatility, durability, and safety, the best toddler toys also encourage children to use their natural abundant energy with physical play.  Urging this playful pony to go also allows children to strengthen their muscles and improve balance and coordination.  This is so important for a few reasons.  One, children have a lot of energy that they need to release in healthy ways.  And two, encouraging physical activity now helps your children remain active as they grow.  Who knew a toy could help make your child healthier?  And much, much happier at the same time.  From the company renowned for quality children’s products, the Little Tykes Giddyup N’ Go Pony will help your child get up and go!  And your little cowboy or cowgirl will love every single minute.
