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.

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...

Hi,my daughter is turning 4, she is 100cm, she can sit in side comfortable. My boy is 2 years old, so he has not problem with it. Last time my friend's daughter who is 115cm, I found it's too small for her.

I think so, my daughter is one year old and she sits pretty good but if you want something to use for a longer time, buy a different one.

Yes. This often happens to us. We usually start with the sit and stand but by the end of the day my 3 year old gets tired and is ready to sit for good. The extra seat collapses flat.

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.

I think that maybe a child that big would need a more sturdy chair with more height to the back. My 15 month old grand-daughter hits her head on the back bar. This is a great inexpensive option but everyone in the family has tripped over the back legs because they stick out so far.

yes, but it is not very steady. My small kids can not reach the ground when setting in the seat.

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!

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.

Yes! My son is only 7 and we took the seat off so he could use it until he got taller and could seat with flat feet on the ground.

No. I got this for my grandson, who is 6 years old. He may be able to ride it till he is 10 to 12. My son who is also 5'5" tried sitting on it. He said very uncomfortable for his height.

I would say yes. Unless your children are close in age and your older one is still fairly small, there will not be enough room for them on the bench without leaning forward a little bit because of the recline from the front seat. It didn't bother my 2-year-old at all though. As mentioned by someone else, the bench slides back and forth so you can slide it as far away as possible from the front seat.

It's a little bothersome especially when my daughter is sitting down on the little seat (not the attachable seat). It's not as bad when she's standing. And when the extra seat is put in it's not bad.

I checked and I could sit on it. It wasn't real comfortable but probably fine for a child. This was a great investment for me. I'm very pleased with it.

I am not really sure. If your child can sit in a booster, that may be a little easier. I think it may be too big.

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.
