Can rocking horses be made from material or does it have to be wood?

Rocking horses have a bit of a reputation for being dangerous because of a few accidents involving the reins around the rocking horse. You do really have to be careful not to leave young children unattended.
And you can shorten the reins on the horse so that there's no danger of strangulation.
when kids go too fast on a rocking horse they can cause it to tip over but this is true of nearly all motion type toys.
i still think the rocking horse is a classic but you should be careful to supervise kids who are using it.

Nursing rocking chairs can be made from different materials such as wood, wicker, rattan, plastic, pvc, aluminum, wrought iron, and fiberglass.

Rocking chairs can also be made of metal, plastic, or vinyl and be covered with leather or fabric.

Old rocking chairs are usually made of hardwood such as oak, while others are made of softwood (ex. Pine). The reason for this is that soft wood has a hard time to hold up the stress.

Hi Jan,

After checking the resources of three states in the Pacific Northwest, the same answer kept coming up. It may require some patience though.
