spring rider

Mounted coil toy

A spring rider is a piece of playground equipment consisting of a seat mounted on a large coil spring anchored to the ground.

Children sit on the seat—often shaped like an animal, motorcycle, or vehicle—and rock back and forth or side to side.

The spring provides the bouncing motion: The toddler spent twenty minutes on the spring rider shaped like a horse.
