The Rocking Horse || Baby & Children's Boutique, Baby Clothes, Babywear, Baby & Children's Clothing & Stylish Baby Gifts

About us

In our “other lives” as a fashion buyer [Angela - AKA Doting Aunt] and furniture buyer [Nina AKA Besotted First Time Mum], we occasionally strayed off the professional path and pursued a relentless mission to find trendy must-haves, funky threads for bubs and stylish gifts for the precious ones in our lives.

This was not an easy shopping endeavour. Through our tireless and extensive search, we indeed found – and bought, many credit card statements later – gorgeous baby collections. Sadly, they were not readily obtainable and we wanted to change that. As a result we are now able to blissfully offer our very favourites to you!

We are busy people. Who isn’t? We value, through personal experience, the convenience of online retail therapy where impressive gifts are readily available, be it at midnight when the bubba is finally asleep or in your lunch break when you simply have no time to spare. The idea that we can have what we want conveniently delivered to our door, all at the touch of a button is irresistible!

Nina:
"As a mother, I found that shopping for baby products always took on a life of its own. First I had to pack the car, the bugaboo, and our pumpkin, Giorgia. Next, find parking, fight the elements – rain, hail or shine – find the perfect gift, then lug it home. Then there was the wrapping to consider, not to mention delivery.

I used to think that Internet shopping was too hard, too ‘foreign’. Truth is, it was just out of my comfort zone. What can be more comfortable than sitting at my own computer, clicking through products that genuinely interest me? No traffic hassles, no prams, no shopping centre dramas, and I could spend all that extra time far more enjoyably … playing with Giorgia!"

25 years of retail experience between us, coupled with a passion for baby fashion, collectables from around the globe, timeless gifts, fun treasures and all things “baby”, our new adventure begins…

You’ll adore the small runs by local designers, the trendiest children’s fashion labels for girls and boys. You’ll find perfect laze-around outfits, fun playsuits, cheeky tees, summer singlets, pants and fabulous party dresses. You’ll also warm to the cutest blankets knitted by what seems like an army of grandmothers set to wrap them in comfort & warmth.

For ‘must-have’ children’s accessories, handmade shoes, wonderfully crafted wooden toys, trendy nursery pieces, precious baby linen and many more little baby luxuries, wander around ‘The Rocking Horse’.

Instead of darting around all day trying to put together a unique gift for a new arrival, birthday party or baby shower … ‘The Rocking Horse’ brings you an effortless and truly enjoyable shopping experience.
