PonyCycle Official Ride-On Horse: Battery-Free Mechanical Pony Brown with White Hoof - Giddy up! Plush Walking Animal for Ages 4-9 - U424 Review

This rideable toy horse is just damn cool. Our granddaughter loves it (she called it peach). It's well built and easy to assemble. We all love seeing her "post" on her imaginary bangs. And as it approaches the pavement, it can be made to move reasonably well and quickly across carpet indoors. Absolutely funny.

Bought this for my 2.5 year old son for Christmas. The packaging was great. It was heavier and stronger than I thought. Easy construction. (Needs to attach the head only) He will be delighted as he is a country boy. I can't wait for the morning. I hope this meets the age requirements of 9 years old. I found some on other sites that were a bit cheaper but didn't like those sites. Hold onto Raven

Definitely the BEST purchase I've ever made from Revain. My granddaughter is obsessed with horses and this is perfect for that. No feeding, no grooming and great exercise. The pony assembles out of the box in less than 5 minutes and is very durable. Her 8 year old sister rides it! Lots of good practice. She takes him inside and combs his mane and tail like a real horse. She would sleep with him if she could! We bought two so kids ages 3 and 5 could "rush" down the street.

I have a 2 year average to be able to grow to keep longer. He could barely touch the stirrups, but he could still get them to move. I'm sure that in a few months he won't have any problems at all. I have some concerns about wheel wear as it relies on friction ratchet brakes just above the skate wheels. Maybe too much weight on the wheels. But I'm sure that finding spare wheels shouldn't be a problem if needed. Really nice ride, well done, beautiful. It's quite an expensive toy, but the whole…

Easy assembly. Smooth gliding on hard wood, wheels will not damage the surface. Intuitive driving. The robust construction withstands very rough and almost constant play. Just a word of caution - it doesn't spin well. Be sure to leave enough room to turn or it will tip over. It can take off with a good speed and no brakes, so teach your child to get a good place to stop. Probably the best toy I've ever bought. The recipient has been driving almost every waking hour since arriving a few months…

This item isn't as bulky as it looks - has a metal frame but the body is filled with styrofoam - kids can pick up and carry the horse if it gets stuck somewhere. The horse really has no brakes other than those that keep the wheels from rolling backwards. It rolls like a regular toddler scooter, meaning it moves forward but rolls slowly until it comes to a complete stop. Top speed is around 2-3 miles per hour. It rolls easily over carpeted floors and hardwood sidewalks, but when you're outside…

Sit down for a moment and I'll explain why this unicorn can't be put back in the box. This is the tail of mommy torture you may not have to experience yourself if you are lucky or you will take my warning and be smarter than me. You see, as an experienced mother of 7 children, I ordered this exact pony very carefully. The smallest servant is obsessed with horses, like most of her older siblings before her. Getting an actual pony wasn't her plan, but this $250 beast was a possibility. Since she…
