Which one should you buy?

For most families the FUNLIO Unicorn Rocking Horse is the one to buy: a solid wood frame, a 3-point harness and a 20-degree base that stops it tipping, all under a genuinely lovable plush shell. The best value is the HOVEROO 5-in-1, a versatile 5-in-1 that also converts into a balance bike, walker and basketball hoop for around $120. The budget pick is the classic Little Tikes rocking horse at roughly $53, a no-assembly moulded plastic rocker with more than 1,300 ratings behind it.
