Abstract
A toy rocking horse cart with forward and backward controls for children's entertainment consisting of an arc shaped base mounting, chassis, horse body, seat, back resting board, handle, reinforcement battens on the arc shaped base mounting, and other constituent parts, characterized by the fact that conversion of impulses and impetuses produced by the horse rocking on the cart into one-way momentums by the actions of the ratchet wheel sets and check claws therefor so that the cradle will be driven to move forward or else backward, with means to control and to change the direction in which the cart moves. The cart is also provided with braking means to protect the safety of a child rider in getting on or getting off the horse.
