Just obtained a previously ridden M&amp;D rocking horse for our grandson and have 2 questions: 1) The head moves easily, forward (down) which allows our grandson to lean/fall forward to where he's laying horizontal on the back of the neck. Is the head...

Neck is broken, the one I bought for my grandson. Head doesn't move at all.

Your kid must be able to hop up and down to get it to move forward. This is not as stationary as a rocking horse. You will need a large space like a long hallway to use it!!

The head is moderately stiff but it moves smoothly, both pan and tilt, as long as you have a little muscle behind it. It would probably be a little jerky if you were trying to move it with your little finger. It's definitely not going to drift when you're not pushing it.

My son got a flat spot from sleeping (only at night) in the Rock n Play and only for the first 3 months. It was because he favored one side of his head and would tilt his head only one way to sleep. In a crib, gravity would cause his head to fall to the side so he would be sleeping more on his ear, which is flat anyway since it's the side of the head. The RnP is on an incline and allowed him to keep his head more upright so that caused the flat spot. He's 2.5 yrs old now and I still feel the flat spot on his head with my hand. It's not severe but definitely noticeable.

I don't remember if the packaging says it specifically but you can put it on "backward" and tie the strings to support your head from falling forward. However, make sure not to put too much pressure on it since the strings are not the strongest.

This seat does not support the head (if the child is leaning back, the back part goes up to about their neck I would say), but I bought this hoping it would help my son with his head control and I do think it did. When I first bought this, he would slump over (I love that this seat encircles the child so they can't fall out), but I would have him sit in it - I was with him the entire time - until he got frustrated, then I would take him out. He could sit in it longer and longer each time and now he has better balance and head control and he loves his seat. He can sit in it for quite a long time now! Love this FP seat!

I've been very happy. The head on ours does not move downward. The sound has not had any problem. I would ask for a replacement.

Hello...I got this little rocking horse for my grandson. He is now 2 1/2 ..I would say it is good for a little one from about 1 to 3 years to about 35 pounds.

Our grandson weighs about 35 pounds. He can easily rock or bounce, sometimes pretty fast, and it has never lifted off the ground or moved across the carpet. He really likes the feature that the faster he "rides," the more sound effects the horse makes.

I am sorry you are having problems. The horse we bought did sing and talk - are you sure you have the batteries in correctly and have it switched to "on" position. My great grandson loves "Rocky" and it was the hit of Christmas last year.

Balance is important so I think that a child is helped quite a bit anyhow to learn to get on the horse and movement is another factor. My grandson was 2.5 before he was not afraid of it and then allowed me to set him onto the horse. Then of course, he got very familiar and soon he was going too fast so I had to watch that he was safe.

The head itself doesn't rotate on its own, but it is moveable by turning the handle while you are using it so you can get around corners, etc. Very lightweight & easy to use. I love it!

Yes, the neck moves and you can angle it in multiple different directions. I purchased one to start. It works well so I purchased two more. Definitely worth it!

I think a 2 year old would enjoy this horse. My Granddaughter is 18 months now & she is not climbing on her self yet. The horse will grow with her, You can flip the base for when she is taller. I think this rocking horse will be good until she's 3 or older. it does depend on how big a child is of course.

Springs are not stiff. Nor do they bounce the kids across the room. They are pretty normal. This rocking horse is reallypretty nicely made. My little ones are 3 and 5 and they just love him. The batteries have lasted a long time - over oneyear until replacement was needed. I am so glad I purchased it for them.

Hi Amanda, Butterscotch doesn't move up & down to gallop, so it's not broken. Only the head moves when it's in "gallop" mode. In order to trigger the galloping sound, you have to hit Butterscotch on one of the rear haunches. Best, Angel

I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair. It has a lock mechanism if you want to lock in a certain position when tilting it backwards. Or you can leave it "unlocked" which makes it have like a spring rocking motion while sitting in it. As for tilting forward, not really sure what you are asking. If you want to tilt backwards, like I say it has a button to "lock" in place and you can also 'unlock" it to sit more forward. It does have about 4 or 5 adjustments for the lumbar support. My husband thinks it is a great chair for the price. I hope we have helped answer your questions. I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair.
