Dragons, dinosaurs, and unicorns—Rockabye's menagerie is like no other. The company transforms traditional nursery rocking horses into plush, friendly playmates designed to inspire kids' imaginations. Whether kids hop on a fantastical beast, a more traditional horsey, or something in between, they're sitting on a steed that's part stuffed animal, part educational toy. That's because each rocker contains speakers that play original music about the ABCs, the colors, and the joys of growing up to be an actuary.

The rocker prototypes are all tested by kids and parents before they're produced in mass quantities. This happens at Rockabye's US factory, where people hand assemble the rockers using almost all American-made products, including wooden components crafted from fine American hardwood maple.
