 New and improvedNov 29, 2006
By Sylvia
After coming across this item, I thought it would be the perfect Christmas gift for my 2.5 year old. However, after reading all the negative reviews on this horse, I had second thoughts and called Radio Flyer directly. They said they have addressed all the initial problems that happened when this product first came out almost 2 years ago. They said that for the past year the improved model they are now selling has fabric spring covers (not plastic anymore) and that there is an added safety strap feature that hooks on to the horse's body that will prevent the child from being pitched off in the event that one of the S-hooks breaks. They also said owners of any of the original versions can contact them and they will send out a free repair kit that contains these items which they can then retrofit. So I am crossing my fingers that these problems don't exist anymore and have placed an online order for this. Will update my review once I get it.

 HazardousMar 11, 2005
By Misty D'amico
Caution: My 2 1/2 year old son LOVES this horse. He rides it everyday, many times a day. It is only 2 months old and already the spring covers are destroyed and yesterday the S hook that connects the spring to the horse BROKE in half causing my son to fall. Fortunately, the wall 'caught' him or else he may have been impaled by the pole support of the horse and seriously injured. My son was left only with a bruise on his nose and hurt feelings because his horse was broken. We contacted Radio Flyer. They offered to ship us more S hooks, but somehow I think they lost the bigger picture of the safety hazard of this toy. I think and hope it will be recalled before an innocent child is seriously hurt or killed. Please consider this before purchasing. Thank you.

The best by far!Dec 18, 2004
By Proud Mommy
"Mother of an adorable four-year old"
This horse is sooo nice. The yarn mane is very cute. The foot rests, besides being better than those of other similar horses because of the 3 levels, are better because they are so much more substantial. The others are of a much thinner plastic, and since that's where your child's foot would be its good that its sturdy and not easily cracked. But my favorite feature is the soft seat. It is really thick. Little one's can bounce to their heart's content without a sore bottom. If you purchase the horse at a Toys R Us store, they will assemble it for you for ten bucks. I highly recommend this horse!

 POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY!Feb 03, 2005
By Cheetah
The first problem waswith the spring safety covers. The springs wore through the plastic covers after about 2 weeks and now the pipes and springs are exposed. The company sent me replacement covers, but I can't see that they will last any longer this time around. I'm actually surprised that no one else has mentioned this problem yet. Addendum:FIRST OUR SPRING COVERS WORE OUT IN TWO WEEKS. THEN A SPRING BROKE. THE BROKEN PIECE OF METAL WAS HURLED ACROSS THE ROOM AND HIT ME IN THE LEG. THE COMPANY REPLACED THE SPRING. NOW JUST AFTER ONE WEEK OF RIDING AGAIN, ANOTHER SPRING BROKE. MY DAUGHTER FELL OFF BOTH TIMES. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A QUALITY ITEM! RADIO FLYER HAS SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS TOY, AND I'LL BE CALLING THEM AGAIN TOMORROW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PIECE OF JUNK! DON'T BUY!

Look no Further!Jan 06, 2005
By A Cool Mom
I bought my 2 1/2 daughter this horse and she loves it. I have to admit that she WAS scared the first time she saw it because it looks so real! She can get on and off it with no problem. The horse does sit a little high but it has side steps that make it easy to get on and off. My husband put the horse together by himself and it took him 3 hours because it has a lot of little screws. He did need my help to put the head together so i guess you can say that one person can put it together. We love the saddle! It's nice and soft. We know that it is going to last us a long time since it is a "Radio Flyer". They have a good reputation of Quality and Durablity. Mom loves the safety covers for the springs, Dad loves that fact that he didn't pay for it (just kidding) he likes the fact that it will last a long time and our daughter just loves it, period.
4/13/05 It's been 3 months now since we bought the horse. We have NO problem with the springs nor the covers as mentioned with other people. My daughter rides it Everyday and believe me, she goes Crazy on it. Hopefully, those other kids are ok but our horse is doing just fine so far, so good.
