Is this too small for a 2 year old? Should I go with a larger one?

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.

No Jill, it is not too small at all... this Rockin' Rider is good for todds up to 4 years. The good thing is, that you can flip the base around, which then suits the horse for larger children. Just make sure you have one of those rubber mats for use in the position shown in the picture (to avoid sliding around). If the child is large enough to actually flip the base around, then a rubber mat might not be necessary as there is rubber feet attached to the plastic base for this occasion. Hope this was helpful.

I believe this would be fine for a 2 to 3 year old. At four I would look for something different. My granddaughter is 15 months but in the 97th percentile for height and 80th percentile for weight and she still loves it and rides it very happily.

Bought it for 1 year old granddaughter, however, our grandson that just turned 2 loved it just as much. I think you should be fine.

Since flipping the base will increase the height, it should be fine. The size of the horse should also work.

It depends how long there legs are but I would say it is just about perfect size for a 6month to around four years old my Great granddaughter who is four years old likes to ride on it and the youngest grandson who was six months old at the time could ride it also.

I would probably go with a larger one, my grandson is 14 months and he is extremely little (5% in the height category) this size fits him well.

Not really as it's for babies up to 2 years (but if the baby is small in size, it could fit).

No it is very small. My 2 and 3 year olds play with it. You will need something larger.

I bought this one for my 2 year old son, I believe it`s too short for someone bigger than 4. Cheers!

One of my two year olds is 36lbs and 36in tall. It fits him. I would like for there to be more room to grow, but it should fit for a while. I've thought about adding to it myself to make it bigger. It wouldn't be that hard. I think these were worth the money. I hope this helped. :)

It's a bit big for a 2 year old. My girls are 6 and 9 and they load it up and push it with ease. I'd go with something smaller and lighter for a 2 year old. Everything from the New York Doll Collection is great.

I bought it for my 1 year old nephew and he is still a little to small for it. I would reccomend it for a 2 year old and up.

It's pretty small. My 2 1/2-year-old doesn't play with it much anymore. He is also tall.

With very close supervision it should be OK for 2 year olds. Don't forget it is tied around the neck and waste. Paint would probably seep through.

I think this is ideal for a younger child. Probably too small for your daughter at 4 1/2 - she would need something larger.

We have the 10 inch one and it is great for kids and adults. I think the bigger one would be harder for little.

It is a good size for a 2 year old. My sons,we're 3 & 2 when I bought it and they love it.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I would say yes :) it might be getting a touch on the smaller side for the 2 year old.... But the love of playing with houses and forts never goes away.

We really like the 10" for our 2 year-old grandchild, whose of average height for a toddler. When she was here yesterday she came in wearing it, with a bunch of books inside. It's just the right size for her and not too big or too heavy. She's been using it for the last 6 months.

It's going to depend on the size of the two year-old, obviously, but on average a child that age should fit. My son is 19 months old but the size of the 2.5 year old kids at daycare. He fits just fine. In fact, I can fit my entire body in there. It is one of his favourite games: to be chased by Mommy the Tunnel Monster.

We have been using it for over a year for naps only. It has been great and I've never had any concerns that it was starting to show wear. It still looks new. I think the larger concern would be whether your two year old would be happy in a space the size of a portacrib (assuming you are intending this for a child birth to age two). The child who uses ours is very small (5th percentile height, not registering in a growth chart for weight). She's really comfortable in it.
