Tek Nek "Legend" Spring Horse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item for my 2-1/2 year old daughter who loves horses. She was ecstatic when she saw it. I thought about purchasing a Radio Flyer Spring horse for her but after looking at them. I took a gamble that I would like this one being covered in cloth vs the plastic and it paid off 100 fold. The horse comes in a box just big enough to pack all the items. I would say its as frustration free as could be. The box also had an exterior cardboard sleeve protecting it from damage in shipping. I received the item in two days with free shipping. Props to Fed-EX and Amazon for this. I had it put together in less than 20 minutes by myself. Instructions are clear and easy to follow and it really dosen't require much assembly. I Was really amazed at how well everything about this item is thought out. From the way it was packaged to the very small amount of assembly for the end user. The instructions say it will even hold 115 pounds which should be well over the age range of a toy like this. It has three push buttons on its ears. One sings a song which my daughter believes horsey can only ride while he is singing the other makes him talk or neigh and gallop. The item also has a small pouch with a brush in it. My daughter loves to brush the horse and take care of him. As for riding the springs are stiff but for good reason imo to help prevent the bottoming out or flipping over I remember from my radio flyer as a kid. Also a couple protection items I noticed the springs have a secondary hook you add on in case a hook breaks on a spring and they also have a strap to prevent the springs being over stretched. Again this is a well thought out product that I Am sure my kids will love for years.
Make sure when you get the horse that you open his main and adjust his sound box from try me to high or low sound. This will then turn on his galloping when they ride and his head, ears and tail will move along with his mouth. I didn't realize this till day two when I wanted to see if I could lower the volume. When I switched to the low volume option it started sounding like it was shorting out. I Replaced the cheap Chinese batteries 4xAA with some new duracells and this guy really came to life. Now its not just talking and mouth moving the tail moves and head and ears move. My kids LOVE THIS THING!
Only improvement/Concern I see would be to address how to get the spring covers to stay tight against the stirrups and horse. This would require some type of piece with a lip on it I would imagine so it would stay tight. Really not an issue just keep an eye on it to protect little hands.
Again you can't go wrong with the Legend it is AWESOME!

Tek Nek Rockin Rider Legacy Grow With Me Plush Animated Pony Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, if you can get a second set of hands to help you assemble this then save your sanity and get their help. It is super easy and quick to set up (few peices) but attaching the pony to the base requires more than two hands because you are working against the rubber bands that the pony uses to bounce. I managed to do it alone but it was after many bangs, bruises, and swear words. I read reviews on a similar bouncing/rocking horse (Radio Flyer) and this product seems to be not only easier to assemble, but of better quality.
The moving pony mouth is barely noticable but the sounds and songs are very clear. The voice that does the phrases and song is weird. I won't say more - you listen and come up with your own judgment. It makes my baby smile though. My son is only eight months so he isn't technically old enough for it yet. He is somewhat big for his age and loves to bounce and jump so he's already moving on the pony. I just stay nearby in case he needs help balancing. Given the personality and play preferences of my son, I think this toy will be around for a long time - at least until he is old enough to graduate to a big boy bouncy horse.

Radio Flyer Soft Rock and Bounce Pony Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We, or should I say Santa, purchased this horse for our 15 month old daughter. The price was excellent. We love the Radio Flyer brand too since it's been around for many years and they make quality products.
I admit I was a little intimidated at first when I opened the box to find it in many pieces. Everything was packaged well. Use common sense and it will be simple to assemble. The directions are written more like a diagram with a few short descriptions.
We love the fact that the actual horse is machine washable and easy to remove too. We also like that there are no springs to pinch our daughter. The rubber is very thick and we aren't worried about it breaking. It doesn't make sounds like some of the other horses. However, almost every toy for kids makes sounds now. I think kids need basic toys too. It can teach imagination, balance and coordination.
The only cons would be that the frame is made of plastic, which is disappointing but then again everything is plastic now a days anyway. As long as the child is of the proper weight limit I don't think it would be an issue. Also, I noticed that the belly or feet of the horse could hit the floor a little while the child bounces or rocks if he/she is at the top of the weight limit. It does seem like it could slide on hard floors or short carpeting. We put a couple non-skid pads on the bottom and sort of pushed it on the carpet and it seemed to work better. I do think this horse is for the 15mo-3yr. old age range though. Our daughter wouldn't have been able to rock or bounce on her own at 12 months old. unless someone was holding on to her and doing it for her.
Overall I highly recommend this toy. You will not be disappointed.

Radio Flyer Blaze Interactive Riding Horse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought the Radio Flyer Blaze riding horse for our active 2 yr old grandson. He loves it! All parts are heavy gauge steel or thick molded plastic. Springs are heavy but easily worked. Spring covers are heavy fabric and plenty long. Overall very good quality materials and construction, very sturdy. Easier to assemble with two people. Two volume levels for sounds, plus OFF.
Our grandson is athletic but on the short side, yet he easily climbs aboard in various ways, even using the stirrups occasionally. He has a blast with it, and gets a kick out of "feeding" it the carrot (sensor in mouth triggers crunching/chewing sounds). I think the smooth plastic is more practical than the fabric covering on other brands/models.
This is a classic riding horse, fairly simple, clean design and nothing to pinch or hurt a kid that likes to crawl all over and around, besides lots of vigorous riding.

The Radio Flyer Blaze Interactive Riding Horse is a beautifully decorated realistic horse. It has electronic sounds triggered by riding action for 3 stages of riding (walking, trotting and galloping). The exclusive X frame base with integrated step is great to easily get on and off the horse.
