Moover Rocking Horse by HABA USA/HABERMAASS CORP.

No wheels on this little horsey, but safe rocking motions take baby on a delightful journey! This enchanting toy has been designed specifically for the very small. The rocking horse is designed with Moover’s special “brake curve” ensuring that the horse doesn't rock too high. This brake works automatically and unnoticed by reducing the speed when the horse reaches its highest point. The smart design ensures youngsters sit securely in a protected seat resulting in a safe position during the rocking and prevents a child from touching the floor. The seat is intentionally made in such a way that it takes some time for the child to climb onto and out of the seat. Choose from red horse with natural bar or natural horse with red bar. 1/12/2012 (Price: $161.99) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]

Moover Baby Walker by HABA USA/HABERMAASS CORP.

Best of all for grownups, the rubber wheels work like "bumpers" protecting door frames and walls. After toddlers become veteran walkers the toy can be used as a cart for dolls or favorite items to move smoothly point A to point B. Choose red with yellow wheels or natural with red wheels. 1/12/2012 (Price: $85.49) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
