As cute as these things are, in my humble opinion, there is only a tiny window of opportunity for a toddler to enjoy them. We had (hm... still have somewhere in the garage) an adorable rocking dragon. For a 12-month old, it was a novelty, but included a rolling over (head first) mount, plus getting fingers pinched when playing around it; at 18 months, it was decent fun with fewer ouchies, especially with an older brother taking care of the rocking; at 24 months, it held zero interest whatsoever... But you cannot beat the cuteness factor, great room decor item if you have the floor space.
