The rocking toy is a timeless classic that has delighted children for generations. Far more than just entertainment, it plays an essential role in the psychomotor development of toddlers. By rocking, the child learns to master their balance, strengthens their back muscles, and develops their coordination. At Wlidaty, we have selected a varied collection of rocking toys combining safety, comfort, and design, to transform the baby's room or the living room into a playground for imaginary adventures.
Our range adapts to all ages and all interior styles in Morocco. From traditional robust wooden horses to soft plush animals (unicorns, dinosaurs, swans) that emit realistic sounds, each model is designed to offer a unique experience. We also offer innovative evolutionary toys that transform from a rocker into a ride-on toy with wheels, thus supporting your child's growth and their first steps toward independence.
Explore the different types of rockers available:
- Wooden and Plush Rockers: Luxuriously designed animals (Tryco brand), with a padded seat and often a safety belt, perfect for decorating the room while entertaining baby.
- 2-in-1 Evolutionary Toys: Clever models (such as those from Vtech or Winfun) whose rocking base detaches to become a ride-on toy with wheels, extending the toy's lifespan.
- Bouncing Animals: Animal-shaped balls (Ludi) on which the child can bounce, excellent for physical activity and muscle tone.
- Balance Boards: Toys inspired by Montessori or Pikler pedagogy, which stimulate balance and creativity (can be used as a bridge, a tunnel, a chair...).
- Enhanced Safety: Most of our models for the very young (12 months+) feature high backrests, belts, or safety bars to prevent falls.
Tips for choosing the ideal rocking toy:
- Check the recommended age: for babies who can just sit up (from 10-12 months), prefer a model with an enveloping bucket seat and a belt.
- For older children (from 2-3 years), choose a taller rocking horse with stirrups, or a bouncing animal that requires more dynamic balance.
- If you are short on space, 2-in-1 models are an excellent choice as they combine two functions in a single toy.
- Consider maintenance: some plush models have removable or surface-washable covers, practical for keeping the toy clean.
Frequently Asked Questions about Rocking Toys:
From what age can a baby be put on a rocking toy?
As soon as the child can sit up well unaided and has good back muscle tone, generally around 9-12 months. For this age, it is essential to choose a model with a secure seat (harness or safety bar) and always stay next to them.
What are the benefits of rocking?
The back-and-forth motion has a calming effect on the child's nervous system. It also stimulates the inner ear (vestibular system), responsible for balance and the perception of the body in space.
Do musical models require batteries?
Yes, rocking animals that whinny or make galloping sounds generally run on batteries, often included or easy to insert into a secure compartment under the animal's belly.
What is the difference between a rocker and a ride-on toy?
The rocker stays in place and swings back and forth. The ride-on toy has wheels and allows the child to move forward by pushing with their feet. Our 2-in-1 models offer both possibilities!
What budget should I plan for a nice rocking toy?
Prices vary depending on the materials and features. You can find very affordable bouncing animals in dirhams (MAD), up to magnificent wooden and plush rocking horses that make a superb birth or birthday gift.
