Does the pony move when they are not riding it? Could my child pull it along behind him? or will it only move when he is riding it

Jamie, Yes, your child could easily pull the pony behind him. It will only roll forward due to the "brake system" on the rear wheels the help it move forward. Our 18mo.old grandson loves the horse. He is either on it riding or pulling it and hugging it. The pony is VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED. We were very impressed when we took it out of the box. Hope this helps.

Yes, they could pull it. Just an FYI it doesn't move backwards(I'm sure it is for safety)- so if you are thinking pulling it behind something, might not work so well. Sometimes my kids push it, but they would much rather ride it. It's a pretty neat toy. They play with it regularly.

The pony can be pulled forward. It will not move backwards. I believe that is a safety feature so that it can't go backwards with the child on it. The pony's head can be turned to control forward movement.

It will move forward when pulled but not backward. To move it backward you must lift it. It has been wonderful for our 2 and 3 1/2 year old grand daughters. We have the small for our 2 year old and the medium for the 3 1/2 year old. They have races in the house and it is great exercise!

I am sorry you are having problems. The horse we bought did sing and talk - are you sure you have the batteries in correctly and have it switched to "on" position. My great grandson loves "Rocky" and it was the hit of Christmas last year.

It does not spin on its own, when I wind it up it automatically spins but I think its because I'm winding it up. I dont know how long once it winds up the music last, since my boys aren't here yet, I just did a quick wind up, it is pretty loud. The brown plush covering on the arms is removable in face when it came I had to put on the brown plush on each arm. Also the dangling design is interchangeable, and you can replace the sticker on the winder or pout one over it. All in all I couldn't complain for the price, and honestly the mobiles only get used until they stand up and then they tend to pull it down, lol. I hope this helps!

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter and she loves it. I also have a 6 year old as well and she plays with it as well. If your granddaughter like pony toys she will like this one

Your kid must be able to hop up and down to get it to move forward. This is not as stationary as a rocking horse. You will need a large space like a long hallway to use it!!

Hi, We gave this to our 2 year old granddaughter and she really had a great time making the horses godown the ramp and move them around the castle. She does have a 4 yr. old sister to help with imaginaryplay. Hope this helps.

Not the same as a rocking horse in that it only moves forward. It also doesn't turn making one only able to go in one direction. Also to make it move the child has to push on it up and down. You can adjust how much effort it takes to make it move.

Mine doesn't seem to move much. I can rotate it, but my child cannot. It's certainly not smooth like on a metal Razor-type scooter.

Are they walking well? If they're not walking well I wouldn't recommend letting them ride it. It kind of scoots jerkily. My 3 yo still adores this thing, my 1 yo really wants to play but it's too treacherous, the 3 yo nearly runs him over every time. It shoots right out from under the rider/pusher on hard floors, too. It's kept at Grandma's house now.

hi,No it doesn't make any sound! But the child can actually ride it and it moves forward like a real horse... the mechanism is all mechanical ...so no batteries required! Great toy!

Hi, the 2 cars that come with this set can move around the track by themselves because they are battery operated. You can certainly use other cars on the track that have to be manually pushed around. My 3 year old son played with this set at a preschool we were visiting and enjoyed it very much. He will now be receiving his own set very soon from Santa!

my almost 4 year old daughter uses it , she is about 32lbs , but to be honest with you she doesnt enjoy it very much, she rides it for a minute or two and that would be it for next week or two . So i would not recommend it unless your kid is very into horse riding .

There is no seat belt...but the seat is very secure. Our grandson is almost 7 months old, and we are sure to always sit right next to him when he's on this pony. He loves it, by the way...and we're sure that will continue as he gets older. The pony says several cute phrases, and his mouth moves. NOTE: If you get it, make sure both ears work--one for music and the other for phrases. We assembled it, and threw away the box. When we used it the first time, the right ear does not activate the music. Still a great toy!

I noticed, yesterday, that it can be steered slightly by shifting your balance, if that is what you mean. I think it can react a little like a skateboard, except it has 3 wheels for balance. Hope this helps. All the kids in the neighborhood have one, from my 2 yr. Old great granddaughter to the 10 yr. Old.

no, it moves when you press on the pedal. This is battery operated. Great for about a 2-4 year old. Any older child would get bored pretty quickly.

You can push or pull. I was doing both. I had my 1 year old in it and he loved it. Works great.

My daughter and niece each got one when they first came out, and the tail would swish. Neither one has a tail attached any longer, so be careful to teach your child(ren) to not tug on the tail.
