Rock on, baby. Heirloom rocking horses are a classic toy for tots and a staple in a great number of family homes. Sturdy construction and care have allowed these rocking horses to be passed on from generation to generation — but there are a few new breeds on the rise. Check out these modern rocking horses that will surely become heirlooms for your kiddies to pass on to the next generation.

There's something very traditional about a rocking toy in a lil one's nursery. Even if they're not big enough to ride it, the toy makes a perfect accent piece until it is put to use. For years wooden versions have added just a touch more charm to a traditional baby's room, but today they are anything but stodgy. We've rounded up five wooden rockers to suit any nursery style from classic to ultra-modern!

Toy Box: Tori Rocking Horse

Living in an apartment has given me a greater appreciation for smaller baby items.
by babysugar

Living in an apartment has given me a greater appreciation for smaller baby items. I am often amazed how much space my daughter's toys take up.

Though known more for their mid-century furnishings, the people at Design Within Reach have created the perfect rocking horse for space-challenged families. The beautifully sleek Tori Rocking Horse ($100) folds almost flat for storage between uses and can even fit under a crib. Eco-conscience moms will also like that it is made from chemical-free, end-of-life rubber wood, meaning that it is made of wood that would have otherwise been burned.
