is it hard for children to sit on?

My daughter is 13 months old, and she still doesn't have the coordination to hold the handles and sit up on it by herself. I expect that it will be several months before she can sit up on it and rock by herself, but she also isn't walking yet. If a child can pull his/herself up and walk then I would expect that sitting up on this rocking horse should be no problem.

The seat is not hard to sit on and it's not that high off the floor where you have too worry about the child falling. Also my husband added a small walnut stop at the back of the seat, so you can only go back so far.

Not at all. My son is an average sized 2 year old and he is fine. I was afraid that he might get his foot stuck under the rocking part of the rocking horse, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I wish it could hold more weight so I can sit on it. We have it on an oriental rug so we just need to give him some room when he rocks on it because he likes to rock it pretty vigorously so it slides a little, but not dangerously - he holds onto the handles.

If the seat is rear-facing, then yes (but would be cramped for long rides). If the child is forward facing, it is still doable, but would be uncomfortable.

I don't find it hard but it would be difficult to put a cushion on it because it is up on an angle before you sit on it.

Every kid is different so hard to say. You can strap them into the seat so they don't fall out but the problem would be the feet. They would need to be able to keep their feet in the foot straps or on the pedals so that the feet could not hit the ground and be injured. They don't have to pedal.

HiI have one toddler n a bub. It is quite easy to manuvor it. But beware the seat is not that big. Lying is abit uncomfortable for a toddler. K

Hi, definately YES! My grandson was 6 months when we moved him into it for the same reason! It is a big seat though.

There would be a bit of an imbalance, I guess, if they sat on each end, but the 6-year-old could sit in the middle section with the little one on the end. The little one would probably enjoy that!We have a five-year-old, a four-year-old, an almost three-year-old and a sixteen-month-old who all play on it in different combinations. They always seem to make it work :-)

I think so. It's supposed to be for children 2-6 I think but it is WAY too big for even our 4 year old grandson when the seat is pushed as far forward as possible.

To answer your question without being judgemental about it - it depends :) my 3 year old grandson became able to do it by himself a couple months ago. He will be 4 in December. It seems to be easier then any car seats I've used. I do let them buckle themselves (I have a 4 year old grandson, too) in and I encourage them to be independent, but I check to make sure it is okay.

A lot of that has to do with whether or not your child can sit up on their own. We used a baby tub, then transitioned over to using it in the regular tub. No problems.

yes...my son is 2.5 and uses it fine...it's a little difficult for him to get onto by himself (even with a step stool), but once we get him up there, sitting on it is great and comfortable...

Yes, if they are small. I would say most kids 4 and under could sit side by side fairly comfortably. It would likely be tight, but doable for older preschoolers.

No, seat and back are hard, they support but are hard and 8 to 10 hours would not be fun.

No. I bought it for my 4 year old granddaughter. She sits at it fine, but, she is a tall 4 year old. Her 2 year old sister loves to sit at it too! Very well made piece of furniture! Am glad I purchased this one!

Not very easily. My daughter (12) pretty much has to help me or the sides collapse.

Not at all. They might need a little help getting in the chairs, but my Grandson was doing it on his own by 19 mos. with no problem. We got it for him for his 1st birthday. Very sturdy! It was even better than I expected.

My grandson is very big for his age, 3' 9" and weights 65 lbs and he sits on it just fine and without a problem. We have one here at our house and his parents have one at theirs.
