Moulin Roty padded rockers and ride-ons

For me, the children's department at New York's famed ABC Carpet and Home is a little piece of heaven. Without fail I always discover countless bits of wonderful to thrill and delight me. My most recent visit was no exception, and the hands down favorite: this inspired rocking horse by Moulin Roty. At first glance his jolly orange hue and graceful iconic form are immediately appealing. Then closer inspection reveals that his entire body is also padded, providing extra saddle comfort or a cozy back to rest against while reading a book. But it gets better. Because further research unveiled a whole line of similarly friendly rides-on and rockers, including a hippo and a croc. Will wonders ever cease?!
