A Quick Review Before Buying The Fisher-Price Smart Cycle

By Amy Pendleton

As a parent I've come to understand that my children's physical and mental development take top priority. Looking around and seeing the variety of useless garbage on the TV and internet, I'm beginning to see the need for activities that can fulfill my children's unending curiosity and energy. That's why I'm thankful for our Fisher Price Smart Cycle.

Even if the weather is not cooperating for that planned hike, or trip to the park, not to worry, your children can still get their energy out pedaling on the Fisher Price Smart Cycle. They can also be stimulating their brains with the learning activities and side games found in the Fisher Price Smart Cycle software. It gives me a break and the children enjoy racing each other or helping to finish letter and number side games.

The Fisher Price Smart Cycle Toys require 4 "D" Size Batteries. We bought T-2299 Universal Smart Fast Charger with 8 Tenergy D batteries so our children can enjoy hours of uninterrupted fun. We can charge 4 at a time and the kids can be playing the other 4 for hours.

Switching the game cartridges is simple enough for even the youngest toddler. My child feels so proud of himself when he can do it 'all by himself'. When he gets tired of one game all he has to do is pull out the cartridge and slip a new one into the Fisher Price Smart Cycle and off he goes on his next big adventure.

Now you don't have to leave home to enjoy the arcade; it come right into your living room with the Fisher Price Smart Cycle. It uses the plug-and-play type hook ups to connect to your TV or VCR and so is ready to go when the kids are ready to play! They really enjoy the ability to choose different models, colors, and vehicles. They can also change their environment as they switch games. (Which are sold separately).

To assist with the games and activities in each different software cartridge, they come with a "helper" who guides the player around obstacles and helps with the side games. I love our Fisher Price Smart Cycle!

I love the fact that unlike most children's toys the Fisher Price Smart Cycle adjusts to the growth of my kids. Not only does the seat rise up and down to adjust to my child's height, but the Fisher Price Smart Cycle software is designed for different ages. It is nice to know that once a cartridge has been played out, another is available to offer new challenges and the toy can grow right along with my kids.

When cycling becomes tiresome, the learning can continue with fun filled learning games that are controlled using a conveniently placed joystick that is near the handle bars. The Fisher Price Smart Cycle has other titles of software; some of ours are Sponge Bob Square Pants, Hot Wheels, and even Dora the explorer. (These are sold individually)

I recommend the Fisher Price Smart Cycle to any child who has the capacity to participate in such activities. It has changed the way our children play indoors and allows me the opportunity to focus on some of my other duties as well as tending to the children. Read below for further details. - 16004
