A ride on that only goes forwards is a short lived novelty for a three year old, and a rocking horse stops being interesting once a child can walk.

This one does both. In normal mode it drives; flick the switch and the body rises and falls as it moves, which is as close to a gallop as a toy on wheels gets. Two toys in the space of one, and the training wheels come off when they are no longer wanted.

A unicorn, not a bike

A moulded unicorn body with a rainbow mane, an orange horn and star decals along the flanks. Handlebars sit where the neck meets the head and the footrests are moulded into the sides.

Size and ratings

27 in long, 15 in wide and 22.5 in tall, with the seat 11 in off the ground. The maker states over 3 years old and a 66 lb load capacity of the seat.

How the riding mode works

A switch button moves the toy between normal driving and horse riding, and the arrows on the maker's panel show the body rising and falling. A one button start and a foot pedal do the rest.

Wheels and floors

Anti slip wear proof wheels over wooden floor, tile, asphalt road and brick road. Two of those four are indoor surfaces, which suits a toy this size.

A switch makes the body rise and fall as it drives, like a gallop.

Two extra wheels at the rear that come off when they are no longer needed.

What we stand behind

• Speed, battery ratings, age, seat load capacity, seat size and dimensions are the manufacturer's published figures.
• CPSC CPSIA and ASTM badges appear on the maker's own panel. No certificate number is published, and we do not assert the certification ourselves.
• This model has no parental remote and no seat belt. Neither is claimed here.
• No run time per charge is published.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

What is horse riding mode?

A switch makes the body rise and fall as the toy drives, rather than rolling along flat.

How fast does it go?

1.86 mph, which is slower than an adult walks.

What age and weight is it for?

Over 3 years old with a 66 lb load capacity of the seat, both stated by the manufacturer.

Do the training wheels come off?

Yes, the manufacturer describes them as detachable.

Is there a parent remote or a seat belt?

No. This model has neither, so it needs an adult watching.
