The is a great toy to invest in for this Christmas or for a birthday. The soft but stable horse is safe for many ages, the younger ones with adults help of course. It has the look of a fairly traditional rocking horse but is so much more besides the obvious. Lucky speaks and sings a song while its mouth moves as well. As well as this there are other horsey noises and galloping sounds which are triggered by the horse's movements, so as the child learns the rhythm to make the horse move they get the reward of sound.
The lucky deluxe spring horse has other advantages over some other riding toys as it grows with your child or children. The straps can be adjusted to be the right length for the rider, also once constructed the strong springs and frame will keep the horse active for a long time to come.
One of the most authentic endearing features of the Lucky Deluxe Spring Horse is that he has a soft, plush, furry body that will make your child feel as if they really are saddling up on their very own pony. Even better, as your young rider starts playing on Lucky, he comes to life with whinny ponny sounds and four different phrases.
Lucky is much safer than rocking horses parents or grandparents may remember from when they were kids. This rocking horse starts off with a steel frame that has a wide, stable, and strong stance. Lucky will not topple your young rider. If you had ever caught a finger, or hair, in one of the springs on those old rocking horses, you'll appreciate the durable, matching spring covers. They will protect fingers, toes, and other delicate parts from harm.
The Lucky Deluxe Spring Horse saddle height is 26 inches. Overall, Lucky is 40 inches long, 24 inches wide (there's the wide stance in the base for stability), and 38 inches tall. He weighs 24.4 pounds , and does require some assembly. He also takes 3 AA sized batteries, which are not included. Batteries are inserted through a Velcro flap on the back of the head or on the left side of Lucky's mane. You will also find the on-off switch at the battery pack, tucked away from little hands that may want to turn the sound back on.
Although the horse may not look quite as good as a normal rocking horse this version is far safer, it's more stable and less likely to move round the room as it's used. Also there are songs, sound effects and much more than a simple wooden one as used by parents. The lucky deluxe spring horse is an investment as it will grow with your child and can be reused by younger siblings; in fact it can be altered between users quickly as well. All in all it's a great toy at a great price.
