Coco is growing up way too fast these days. He is truly all boy and loves to be rough and tough with everyone and everything. My sister in law had mentioned getting him a rocking horse for his birthday, which I thought was a great idea considering he loves animals and is completely fearless. Unfortunately, our house is getting smaller by the second because of all his toys and games, so I wanted to be sure we could find him a rocking horse that was of great quality as well as safe and not enormous in size.
The Rockin’ Rider from Tek Nek Toys was exactly what we wanted for him! It small enough that it stores perfectly in a corner and it is soft and perfect in size so Coco can get on and off the horse himself. It is also sturdy and steady enough that I know it won’t tip over the second he sits on it.
The Rockin’ Rider looks really authentic because of the soft fur and life-like features – which has thrown off the dog quite a bit. Coco’s favorite part about the horse is how he can press the ears and the mouth moves and sings a cute little song and makes horse noises. He also loves to try to feed the horse his toys as the mouth moves.
I love how the Rockin’ Rider encourages Coco to learn how to move it by rocking it on his own as well as helps his balance as he sits alone and holds onto the peg handles. We chose the brown color for Coco, but it also comes in Pink for your little girls. The great thing about the Rockin’ Rider Plush Rocker is that he can easily grow into it and use it for several more years since the age recommendation is up to 3 years of age. This rocking horse was a great idea – and it would make a perfect holiday gift for your toddler this holiday season!
You can purchase your Rockin’ Rider this holiday season by visiting their website at TekNektoys.com. You can also find them on their Facebook page at Tek Nek Toys.

That is so cute! It’s cool how they’ve updated a classic toy like the rocking horse.
I think the best part is how it throws off the dog, though–LOL!
