Most rocking toys are horses. This one is a frog, in bright green plush with a hand puppet tucked in alongside, and for a toddler the novelty is half the appeal. Squeeze the eye and a lullaby plays, which is often enough to turn an over-excited late afternoon into something calmer without anybody being told to settle down.Underneath the soft cover is a sturdy wood base with a reinforced steel frame, and the wooden bottom is lined with two curved rails so the motion stays a gentle forward and backward rock. Two handles, a supportive back, and a seat belt keep an 18 to 36 month old secure while they find their rhythm, and plush fabric covers the frame everywhere a child might land against it. At 23.5 in long by 13.75 in wide by 19.75 in tall, it fits beside a cot or in the corner of a playroom without taking over.
