Our characters embody the whimsical world of discovery that marks the first years of baby's life. No doubt, these characters will become a mainstay in your child's life.

Each rocker features an arranged medley of classical music that you're sure to recognize AND enjoy! With textures, sounds, music, and activities, each of our rockers provides hours of discovery and fun. So much fun, kids won't even realize they are imporivng their physical and cognitive development. We search the world over to find the perfect fabric for each of our special creations. Some are velvety soft, others are silky smooth, but we choose unique fabrics to match the characteristics of each individual rocker, making our rockers loveable and huggable. Each piece is hand-crafter from teh finest imported European woods and assembled and inspected right here in the USA. The natural variations that appear in the wood adds tothe unique beauty of each rocker. The rockers average 24L x 12W x 17H, with some variation depending on the character and configuration. They are designed for children ages 9 months and up. They accommodate children up to 80 pounds. They are made to last decades, not just years. They are sponge washable and easy to maintain!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute design - disappointing construction., March 21, 2008

This review is from: Rockabye Rocking Elijah Elephant (Toy)

This is a cute design, but for a product claiming to be "heirloom quality" we were disappointed by the construction. The Elephant we received (along with the replacement from the manufacturer because we complained about the first one) was mounted off centre on the wooden frame. There were also defects in the stitching of the saddle. Also slightly annoying is the difficulty of aligning the music buttons with the stiched on markers on the elephant's head. The music plays somewhat randomly (and started once in the middle of the night). I'm not that unhappy with the toy as it is a very cute design and seems sturdy and durable enough, but if you're expecting "heirloom quality" you may be disappointed.

Our 12 months old (this was a 1st birthday present) sort of likes the toy - especially the crinkly ears and the "ride along friend". It's a little large still for her to ride right now (and she's a tall 12 month old), so I'm not sure about the 9 months-3 years age range advertised. I hope she will grow into the toy more in a few months.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wooden handles not aligned, September 13, 2009

This review is from: Rockabye Rocking Elijah Elephant (Toy)

Our daughter received this from her g-ma as a birthday gift. Its a cute toy. She didn't play with it much up until a few weeks ago. Now that she's 18 months old she lives on it. I guess the defect of the handles being misaligned is a common one from what I've read. Also the music box which is concealed with velcro just below the trunk is easily removed by curious toddlers, exposing wires that aren't protected. Close supervision with this toy is necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars We love Elijah, May 2, 2008

This review is from: Rockabye Rocking Elijah Elephant (Toy)

I purchased this for my 7 month old nephew. He's still a bit small for this to ride on his own, but we put him on and rock it for him. I love it and he seems to enjoy it as well.

The toy seems to be very durable, is constructed well - no complaints there. I love the little songs it plays, I think as my nephew gets older these can have a learning value (plays an alphabet, counting and color song as well as a fun "rocking" song)

The only tiny complaint I have is that I can't get the fabric to completely cover the song box in the front, it still gapes a bit. But we are working to slowly stretch the fabric, so hopefully it will be well concealed soon.

I think this is a great product and would definitely recommend. I'll be purchasing another for my new born niece for Christmas.
