Who knew rocking horses still existed? This gallery proves that not only are the kiddie rockers still being produced, they're actually being targeted towards the most affluent, fashion-conscious parents out there!
The gallery above includes a variety of luxurious, high-fashion and, um, rather eccentric rocking animals (they're not just horses anymore) from Vivre. My favourite, hands down, is the electric pink rocking sheep!
Implications - Parents always want the best for their kids and they hope to start with a warm environment. Whether it's the abundance of toys or a playroom, adults are on the lookout for products that will keep their children entertained, but more importantly, happy. The focus on kid-friendly products as opposed to video games will help parents provide a fun-filled childhood that tech-based items can't reproduce.
