This is a really cool first spring horse for kids! We love the plush body and bridle/saddle combo on them. I bought 2 for my 20mo twin boys. They are pretty agile and can get on and off by themselves. I will point out that just like the base of every spring horse is a metal edge that can hurt the little one if they fall on it. My solution to this is to use a cheap pool noodle split down the middle and slip over the frame and secure with polar fleece. I added a pic here. It makes for a little softer landing if they fall on it and easier on tiny bare feet.
