Do your kids love to play video games? Are you worried about their lack of exercise or mental stimulation? If so, the Fisher-Price Smart Cycle is the solution for your family. The Smart Cycle is an educational toy that is simply connects to your television to allow your child to exercise and learn at the same time.

Most video games are played by sitting on the floor and holding a controller. It's hard to rationalize that the only exercise being performed is simple button pushing. The Fisher-Price Smart cycle is a stationary bicycle that your child can sit on and pedal to play the game. By pedaling and steering to play the game your child will be able to exercise his legs and arms. Since the Smart Cycle is a learning game, your child won't even realize he's exercising while he's playing!

The Fisher-Price Smart Cycle is a learning toy. Targeted towards 3-6 year olds, the Smart Cycle is able to grab your child's attention while teaching educational skills just as your child is beginning the school system. The Smart Cycle teaches upper and lowercase letter, numbers and counting, spelling, problem-solving, shapes, matching, creativity, and spatial reasoning skills. These skills are vital to the mental development of children in the recommended age range. Younger and older children will also enjoy the Smart Cycle as it can reinforce these skill sets.

The Fisher-Price Smart Cycle easily connects to your TV. As a one-piece unit, the Smart Cycle can be positioned up to several feet from the television. Powered by 4 D batteries all you need to do is turn the cycle on and change channels on your TV to match the video input. The Smart Cycle is light enough to easily be moved to the closet to save space when not in use.

Included with the Smart Cycle is the Learning Adventure game cartridge. Your child will be able to learn to drive. By pedaling and steering the cycle, your child will be able to navigate through Math Mountain, Shape Lake, Number Fields, and Letter Creek. Attached to the front of the cycle is a small joystick that is used to playing the educational games. This allows your child to rest while he learns. Another popular mode of the Learning Adventure game is the race mode. Let your child burn off that excess energy while he pedals as fast as he can while racing other computer racers, against the clock, or even another player!

The Smart Cycle is designed to accept cartridges with different concepts and themes. The cartridges plug directly into the Smart Cycle and expand the learning activities. With cartridges based around Barbie, Go Diego Go, Dora The Explorer, Hot Wheels, Spongebob and more, your are guaranteed to find a title that captures your child's attention. Different cartridges are aimed at different age ranges you can help your child progress through his learning years.

Our kids got this last Christmas when they were 4 and 2. They actually didn't play as much as we thought. Now they are 5 and 3 and LOVE to play this daily. It's easy to plug in to the t.v. I just wish it came with a charger so that we weren't constantly having to replace the batteries. Also, I was hoping to see more games, Especially a year later. But we have the same 5 games that they got at Christmas time. Other than that, The kids love this game!

My son has autism and we bought this bike to help with learning to pedal. He is 4 and never pedal, until we got the bike for christmas. He is loving this bike. You do need a more varity of games and more accessable in the stores. Since christmas we have not been able to get a boys game. They are no where, except on line. I wish every child and espcailly children with special needs could have one. It would help so many children.
Thank you for helping my son! Hope-Marie
