This unicorn walks. Step down on the pedals and the mechanical drive rolls it forward across the room, while the handle in front turns it left or right, so a child steers their own course between the sofa and the hallway. It is a different kind of play from rocking: legs push, hands steer, and the two have to work together, which is exactly the hand and foot coordination that grows in the 3 to 6 year window.The body is cushioned plush in pink and purple with a sparkly horn, friendly enough to hug and pretty enough to sit in a bedroom as decor when the ride is over. Underneath, steel and poplar wood carry the load, with a capacity of 176 lbs that leaves room for an older sibling to try. Polyurethane wheels roll quietly and will not scratch hardwood or tile. The unicorn measures 27.5 in long by 12.5 in wide by 34.25 in tall, meets Astm F963-17 and Cpsia standards, and needs only simple assembly out of the box.
