My DS is about to turn 1 and i think i would like to buy him a 'rocking animal' (It doesn't have to be a horse). I'm not thinking for a large one, there was one i found that could convert into a ride/push along also. I found it on an English website which won't take c/c outside of England though. Do any of you lovely ladies have an idea of where i can find one? Locally would probably be a better option.
Have you googled the name of the toy you want from the English site to see if it is available from anywhere else? I would try that, I can't think of any places right now, but I'll work on it.
The one i fell in love i found in a magazine add (am i allowed to say the name of the website?) it looks to be toddler size. Maybe not the most prctical to grow with them for a few years but i just loved it.
If you're up near the Dandenongs, Geppetto's in Sassafrass has gorgeous ride-on toys that convert to push-toys etc. Ladybug, bee and other designs. Very gorgeous - they are either leather or high-quality vinyl and look amazing.
Kazbah i just had a look at the website of the shop you mentioned and they have the rocking horse that i fell in love with in the magazine!! But i also love the dragon one!! I WILL be going for a drive, there are some gorgeous things on the website.
I just saw a couple of fabulous ones at Coochicoo in Malvern Central. One was a lady bug that could be rocked or ridden (with wheels) and there was another really cute bug type one. Mind you they were a bit pricey, around the $200 mark.
Kazbah, thanks for letting me know about Geppettos. I had a look on the website and found exactly what i wanted. Gulliver the rock/ride horse was in their shop !! We went for a drive this weekend and we just had to take him home. He's an expensive little creature but DS2 loved him (had a test ride in the shop). Just have to wait for next Wednesday now so we can give him his present!!
It's not all that far from me, i think i'll be going for drive a few times a year also I now have my heart set on the wooden Noah's Ark play set. Might be able to get that for DS2's next Christmas If not before...
