Our advice Buying Guide

No matter if it's a brand new piece of furniture or if it's one that's been restored, there's something magical about a child receiving their first wood rocking horse. While some of those that experience restoration date back more than 100 years, it's possible to find ones that are new with just as much charm and details. Selecting one that's just right for your child may seem overwhelming, so we're going to help you sort through those details. In doing so, your child will have a wood rocking horse they can pass from generation to generation, create childhood memories with, and tell heartwarming stories about in the future.

What Are the Average Wooden Rocking Horse Measurements?

When shopping for wooden rocking horses, you'll find that they're available in many sizes according to age. Their height measurements are taken from the floor and upward toward their ears. For example, if you're purchasing for a toddler aged ten months to five years old, you could buy a wooden rocking horse that ranges between 17" to 27" high. If you're purchasing a wooden rocking horse for children between the ages three and eight years old, you could purchase one that ranges between 29.5" and 43" high.

What Are the Safety Considerations For Wooden Rocking Horses?

While we would all love our child to have a vintage wooden rocking horse, some of them have been known to tip over when their riders get excited. However, the newer and more modern designs feature anti-tip rockers that help keep children safe while they're riding. It goes without saying that parental supervision is ultimately the best recourse regarding the safety of a child on a wooden rocking horse. However, the implementation of such designs is a significant plus as well. If the seat doesn’t come with padding, consider adding something with grip to help your child avoid slipping.

How to Decorate with Wooden Rocking Horses?

Even though your child will likely drag their rocking horse around and play with it wherever they'd like, it's best for it to have a safe starting point. Decorating with wooden rocking horses not only add charm to a child's bedroom but they also are a beautiful accent to the corners of dens and living rooms where children love to play. Be sure to place the rocking horse away from walls and other furniture that may experience damage. If your child is prone to toppling over, avoid putting the rocking horse near furniture with corners.

How to Clean and Maintain Wooden Rocking Horses?

Cleaning a wooden rocking horse is done with a damp cloth that's been dipped in a solution of warm water that's been mixed with a mild detergent. If you're cleaning a vintage rocking horse, don't rub too vigorously or you'll damage the paint or other finishes. Avoid using furniture polish because the surface will become too slippery when your child is playing. Don't let the wood's surface become too wet because it will cause damage to the wood. Because wooden rocking horses are constructed from hardwoods including ash, cherry, and oak, they’ll last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
