Review of the FisherPrice Smart Cycle

"My son loves this toy! I bought it for him for Christmas of 07 and figured he'd be tired of it after a few months like everything else. BOY was I wrong. He loves to play the games - and when his older cousins and friends come over ages 7 - 10 they have just as much fun on it. Even my 1 1/2 year old nephew likes to sit on it and pretend he's riding a bike - stationary of course ;) Keeps them all entertained!"

You're going to hear a lot about the childhood obesity epidemic in the promos that go with FisherPrice Smart Cycle . While the facts and figures about childhood obesity certainly are alarming, it is questionable whether kids today need another "edutainment" device to lose weight! Which is what FisherPrice Smart Cycle finally boils down to - a TV based interactive electronic entertainment system. However, to give credit where it's rightly due, the FisherPrice Smart Cycle has a real edge over the other stationary and more videogame-like products available for young kids today - it does make kids exercise.
