But, you also will remember just how much your infant was soothed when he was being rocked. So, now your baby does not fit in her old chair, its time you bought Rockers For Toddlers. All kids of all ages love to rock back and forth, any playground is full of such types of toys.

These were and will always be popular and come with a padded seat and nice handles for your toddler to grip so they don't fall off. You will be spoiled for choice if you decide to opt for an animal rocker. Depending on the age of your child you might feel more safe buying a model that has a dipped seat. This means your kid wont have to balance himself.
When choosing from the different types of rockers for small children you will find that some of these are on wheels. This may or may not be practical for your house. Easier to move around, but also easier to be pushed down the stairs.

In the olden days, all rocking chairs were wooden. You can still buy a lot of plain wood designs, especially in animal designs. The only difference to the one you may have had as a child will be a removable cushion or plush seat. Traditional wooden toys are practical as they are wipe clean and sturdy.
If you want something more traditional still, you could buy a miniature rocking chair. A scaled down model of adult versions, these chairs are best suited to older toddlers. This is because they do not have grab handles and they have slippery seats. On the plus side, this type of seat will still be good for your child when he is five or six. But, beware of the accidents that can occur.
Lastly, you may want to buy a toy for outdoor use. If this is the case, then plastic is the best material. Animal rocking seats are weighted at the bottom and made of tough plastic that will last years. Waterproof, your only concern with this style might be that they fade in the sunlight.
